4Runner vs. Hummer

[richk]

I think everyone will agree that the H3's reliability and quality can only be determined by the passing of time (time will tell). But GM has really hit one out the ballpark in the styling department.

I would like to recall this experience that I had last month that I will never forget.

(this took place amount 1 month ago)
So I took my dad out for lunch on Sunday to tell him that I was getting a new truck. Now mind you, I have been changing vehicles about every 6 months for the past several years. In the past 2 years I had a Dodge Durango, Jeep Wrangler, Toyota Tundra Double Cab, and Nissan Pathfinder. So needless to say I usually get the "not another new purchase" speech. I told him that I had ordered a new H3 and that it would take about a month for it to come in. He of course asked a million questions in a desperate attempt to determine if I was losing my mind. What on earth could possibly make me lose more money switching cars again? Finally he asked if we could stop by the local Hummer dealer after lunch so he could see an H3 in person.

Now remember this was a Sunday and the dealership would be closed, so we knew all we could do was look thru the windows. We parked on a side street near the dealer (the parking lot was closed). When we turned the corner to the dealership we were both amazed at what we saw. There were load of guys, many with their families, mulling around looking at the parked H3's (they only had 3). My Dad said "what the hell are all these people doing here when the dealership is closed". I explained to him that they were all anxious to get a look at the new H3. It was at that point that both of us knew that GM had something special in the H3. They had designed a vehicle that made people take notice.

Should you get an H3, well you would certainly be getting something unique in the automotive world.
