CRM114 - I honestly think it looks very similar to the 2005 Jeep grand Cherokee which probably has a much friendly price tag.
But if you've got a small piedanker, get the HIII......

I think they will sell the hell out of those things. I am a little surprised that they went with a 5 cylinder, but I remember the Audi 5 cylinder was absolutely bullet proof, so maybe it will turn out for the best. I wouldn't have a problem with the MPG of the thing, either. It seems fine for what it is, but it does seem like one should get better than 2 MPG better with 3 less cylinders. However, my Honda Element actually gets a little worse mileage than our 6 cylinder Oddysee.
But I can definately see the appeal of the H3. I would take it over any full sized SUV, and over any medium SUV as well.

BTW, I don't know about the H3's on "Nasty Terrain" but this H2 didn't do so good.

Hummer Bummer Watch it in Full Screen so you can see what happens. $$$$$$$

Look at this one. Its a lot more expensive but it kicks ass.

The H3 has a better approach and departure angle. You can go over a 16 inch wall with the H3. You'd rip the rear bumper off the Cherokee trying to do that.

no desire at all
if I was going to get a hummer my second choice would be a commercial H1
first choice would be an actual surplus military one, preferably with a few different of the back end accessories (clamshell cover, square boxy cover that males it look kind of like the shape the H2 is, etc)

2. AWD Volvo wagon, it snows a lot in Sweden
3. See above, you're more likely to be injured in an SUV than a decent car
4. See 1 and 2, there's more interior room inside a wagon than most SUVs, especially a silly soccer-mom SUV like a H3/H2. Mmmm, stick on plastic faux tough bits

We all know what your preference in girls is.

The whole chick and car thing is one of those where im talking out of my ass. I've been with my wife for close to 10 yrs (since i was 19

As for talking shit on the G wagon my friend you honestly dont know shit. The g wagon is 460 hp on and small lightweight suv frame. That thing is an instant smile when you hit the gas.
You can have your jeep i'll take the G wagon anyday of the week.

Those babies might have made more room than a modern SUV.
And if I'm getting hit by an SUV, I want to be IN an SUV. And if I want to drive in 16 inches of snow before the roads are plowed, I'm not going to do it in ANY car.
