Indeed. Anyone hear that the Hummer H3 is getting the 5.3 liter V8 for the alpha version? I'm not sure what this will do to gas mileage, but the thing is a pig, and the FJ's 4.0 will probably outrun the Hummer's 5.3 (4 spd auto only).
Also interesting - the hummer H2 is getting a 4.5 liter turbodiesel.
