Here is my take on an obviously biased article (which is what news people do nowadays.)

daytime running lamps.- should be headlamps since the rears aren't lit.


The H3 is 17 inches shorter and 6.5 inches narrower than the H2 and easier to back and park and maneuver into a garage or other tight spot.- Doesn't turning radius help more than the lenght of the vehicle. Hell I have seen people driving accords and other small vehicles that have surprised me that they can even back out of their own driveway.

The styling itself carries downsides. The small side windows that presumably have a purpose in helping protect occupants of the military Humvee from bullets serve no purpose in the H3 except to impede vision in lane changes and backup and to make the spacious cabin seem smaller than it is. The headlamps of cars tailgating at night tend to disappear below the tailgate window's bottom edge, leaving the outline of the vehicle's roof the only hint that it's there.- If the H3 windows really inhibit lane changes than driving is more of a problem than an easy lane change. And if a person is tail gateing me, why is it my problem.

BTW, ETD the G-Wagen is definitely a great vehicle. I test drove one before I got my truck. It almost swayed me but almost doesn't count.
