Default Let's end this H2 vs. H3 Squabble. Here are the FACTS.

I think this in fighting is turning ugly and it should stop. In all honesty, I will post this here because it seems like you H3ers are the most hurt by this.

Look, we've all felt at one point in our lives (For most of us, this was childhood.) that we have to go and prove ourselves and scream tantrums at the top of our lungs to make others believe the fantasy.

Let's get down to reality...

-GM/Hummer built a cheaper model so that people like you could enjoy *part* of the Hummer dream that few experience.

-YES! The H3 is an incredible OFF-ROAD machine. BUT.....It will never be even close to perform on or off road like an H2. FACT.

*Hummer/GM will not make an economically priced Hummer H3 to outperform their flagship H2. It was a marketing tool/strategy. FACT.

- It seems everyone understands this........Except for SOME of the H3 owners.

Let's listen to the experts:

Quote:
Obstacles that the smaller H3 Alpha had to struggle over were child?s play for the H2. Time and again, I would see it go up, over and around rocks and road blocks.

Quote:
The H3 Alpha had to work alot harder getting up the inclines, and there was definitely more tire squealage. The H2, however, would take the inclines steadily and handily with ease.

And that's the H3 ALPHA they're talking about.




Quote:
After two years of lion H2 styling with housecat horsepower, Hummer?s runt of the litter finally gets a V-8 variant, dubbed the H3 Alpha. With 300 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque, the Alpha?s 5.3-liter V-8 is the mill the H3 should have had all along. Surprise, surprise?we like it better even though we still don?t love it.

We had to tow strap a few H3s out of the trail. We didn't get out until 2am! Fawk! - An H2 owner asking for anonimity.

Quote:
There is NO WAY in hell I'm wheelin with H3s in Moab. I wanna have fun. I don't want to be a tow service during my holiday. I think I'm gonna PIKE. - Another H2 owner asking for anonimity.

The H2, is now clearly Hummer?s baddest dog since the H1 is in retirement

It's been proven over and over again. Even with the H3 Alpha, it can't and will not be as good as the H2 or they would put an H2 badge on it.


And a few thing bother me reading over and over some of the overly hateful defensive posts some here write....

"The H2 is too big"
If a few inches in vehicle dimensions bother you, then that doesn't say much for your driving skills. Maybe you should be driving a car let alone go off-road.

"It's not about money. If I wanted it, I would buy the POS H2"
Why bring up the money thing when money wasn't even mentioned? And why the numerous BARGIN HUNTING threads on the H3 Forum? There is a reason the H2 is more expensive. "You get what you pay for." or Corvette owners would be swapping in for Sunfires.

"I've finally traded in my H3 for an H2"
We've been seeing a lot of these upgrades lately. WHY does that make these people now your enemies. Why can't you just be happy for them?


In all honesty I think it's time for SOME of you guys to put your pride and egos aside and face the facts. It's no big deal, nobody is looking down on you, and nobody cares unless you're create too much attention towards it.

This "Keeping up with the Jones'" attitude is so 80's.

Now let's move on, be thankful with what you have and wheel to your rig's ability.
