Well...that would be the inbreeding
I've heard the H3 did well on the Rubicon, BETTER then the H2. Before getting too excited by such prospects....it was firmly concluded that it's advantage was solely on account of the H3 being more narrow and being able to take more selective lines.
I've also spoken with other tech-heads and they too are bitter about the leaf-springs and the shock absorber bracket that hang down very low.
The title of the thread was not "how well will the H3 offroad"...but rather I'm calling into question the assumption many have figured: that the H3 will re-ignite a Hummer sales frenzy.
And of course, in the end...time will tell. My understanding of "why leaf-springs" stems from the H3 being built on a Colorado chassis.
And really, I'm just giving the forum something to chew on.
