...if they are going to sell more bling hummers, and kill the aftermarket of real 4wd H3s I say off with their heads! I'd rather just buy a Cherokee than drive a vehicle that has a reputation like the Liberty (and trust me my friends, the H3 is starting down that slippery slope)...

Well, FWIW, i think the H3 gets more cred among jeepers and others than the H2... perhaps because most of salvos fired at H2s got shot off in the first couple of years they were on the market - before people started doing cool stuff with stock trucks.

One concern i have over the hummer name is this: the jeep ad dudes fully realize that 95% of people buying a wrangler are gonna take off the doors and cruise around sipping starbucks & carrying home a 12 pack. But they still make offroad ads... Hummer tends to make bling/soccer mom ads and almost forget about the offroad aspect. At least in those com's that i've seen.
