I don't even have a Jeep yet.......so, I can't really say anything about which is better.
Well I like the Jeep better so far. Its much lighter and gets better gas mileage on the hwy - at least the 90 miles on the hwy I have put on it. I have only had it a few weeks and have done some really light off-roading with it. I will say though that I bottomed-out my H2 in a spot near my house that the Jeep went over with no problem at all. The H2 did have running boards on it at the time though.

Oh yeah - the H2 used cost $10K more than the Jeep brand new and I actually made money selling the last Wrangler I owned.

That's one thing about Wranglers, they seem to hold their value more than any other American made vehicle.

No my friend, i wouldnt. i do not like the looks of the H2's or 3's.

If i had an extra 25grand, i'd go on vacation with it, not blow it on a 1987 Horizon on steroids.

:p

Default Hmmm

My thoughts on what people think when they get a h3 I can't afford an h1 and an h2 so instead of a trail blazer i think I'll get an ugly h3.

When we get a jeep now we say a jeep is a jeep do I want more room then I can get a unlimited I just got one and love it 07 unlimited its not going to be easy to find a comparable suv. please do not compare it to an h3.

I take exception when someone brings up this argument. It is very presumptuous for someone to assume to know what my income or net worth may be. I was really irritated by the comment that a hummer driver called it a “poor man’s hummer”.

Personally, I am fortunate enough that I could have purchased a hummer if I had wanted. However, regardless of how much money I may or may not have the hummer would not be my first choice, it wouldn’t even be in the top ten. I wouldn’t say I hate them, they do just not impress me and I’ve never even considered owning one.

The Jeep is the original and the Wrangler is the king of off-road utility, off the show room floor. My opinion is that if the hummer hadn’t stolen the classic Jeep slotted grill there wouldn’t be this discussion. So many SUV’s resemble each other it’s crazy. How many times have you looked into your rear view mirror and you can tell right off, “Oh, it’s a Ford…it’s the Dodge honey-comb…” You see the slotted grill on the hummer and you do a double take before you realize it’s the imitator.

I’m sure there are many folks on the board who could buy a hummer if they wanted to; they simply have no desire to own one.

Well said, yes indeed there are many of use that could of purchased a
(Hum what ever), I had 3 hard choice's in a vehicle and these 3 never left the Jeep brand, > a Rubi, Sahara, or "X" period. Not hardcore wheeler, liked black fender's not painted, so I got the "X'. JEEP> OUTRIGHT THE MOST ORIGINAL and is #1...everything else will have to fight for second place and I really don't care who wins second..

I think if I had another 25 Grand I would buy the 4-door version of this giant blow up thing and live under it!

Didn't Hugh Grant get arrested for trying to buy a "HUMMER"?
