H3 Review from Macleans.ca

See link below for full article:

" . . . For as much as the original Hummer, the road-busting H1, was designed with the kind of real-life realities like the current tragedy in the American South in mind, the all-new H3 was designed for the wanna-be weekend warrior. It's all show and very little go."

" . . .Apart from this off-road capability, I found little else of merit in the H3."

" . . . Hummer has made a name for itself by building arguably the toughest SUVs on the planet. The 2006 H3 will not advance that reputation one bit, and in fact just might water down the tough truck image of Hummer. I give it a two out of five."

Gotta love articles like these. You can't take them seriously, but they're so full of garbage it still gets the blood pressure a bit up.

Hey, for every dozen positive reviews of the H3, you gotta have one reviewer who is out there to be different. I guess when your whole career is based on reviewing cars in a magazine that's read by 10 people annually, a reviewer might get a bit sensitive and write a bunch of nonsensical garbage.

My only wish is to drive by the writer( that's an overstatement. This guy shouldn't be allowed to write the ingredients on cereal boxes) during a tough canadian winter storm, and make him beg for me to pull out his LR3 out of a snowbank.

His opinion, but one I disagree with. Evidently, he did not take the time to see how the H3 is built; it is one tough truck.

I love when people prove in writting they are idiots.

How can you give your opinion that the H3 will not advance Hummer reputation when you admit you don't even take it off road.

Quote - "I didn't have the chance to take the H3 off-road,"

I guess if I put 33 inch knobby tires on a yugo or even regular size Nissan it would be just as good as a H3. Damn I could have saved over $10,000.

Quote - "Granted, the off-road capability of the H3 is most likely near the top of the heap in the midsize SUV category, but that's mostly due to the massive knobby tires and high ride height."

Quote- ".. the seats weren't up to any long distance driving .." all 6 ft 4, 219 pounds of me, just finished a 6,872 mile road trip and I just LOVE THE SEATS! It's one of the main reasons I bought the H3.

51,195 Canadian Dollar = 43,533.2 US Dollar

A $43,533.20 H3! He must of driven the one with the platinum grill treatment! Or perhaps the NAV system which isn't available yet. Funny, he didn't mention those things though. I am thinking he might be French-Canadian from the sounds of it?

"over-the-top body cladding." Hmm. I currently drive an Avalanche with cladding...has he seen one of those? I perish at the thought of him reviewing it!

"visual features include fake inflatable wheel hub covers." He forgot to mention it also costs about $60K-$70K USD less than the H1 with the real covers. But that's not important. What's important is that he just let us know how someone can waste a good education.
