I've wanted a HUMMER since I can remember, I'm only 23 and this is the first NEW car that I'm going to buy (I've been driving since I was like 14 but I could only afford used cars before).. I had a budget of 40k to buy a new car (after saving for like two years!!) and I was ready to get an H2, but with the GAS prices as high as they are now I think that the H3 is just the right Hummer for me right now, I will get the H1 alpha one day, but for now I will be more than happy driving my brand new H3 and I'm sure I will be the only one among my friends getting one of those
Plus, I've only heard good things about this truck, a hummer sales rep. told me that he wasn't that excited about the new H3, then we went to what they call "Hummer School" and he was CRAZY about it's performance in the off-road track, he mentioned that they had a Pathfinder a Jeep Cherokee and a 4 Runner in that track and the H3 was the only truck that made it to the end (plus other H2s and H1s off course), I believe him...
