I just got the February 06 issue of Four Wheeler magazine with the 2006 Four Wheeler of the year competition in it. The good news is the H3 beat the Jeep Commander, the bad news is it finished 3rd behind the Range Rover Sport and the Toyota Land Cruiser both of which cost about $20K more. In off road ability the H3 finished 2nd to the Land Cruiser. Four Wheeler dousn't have the article online yet, the only article I could find online is from the Toyota Pressroom site.
5th - Suzuki Grand Vitara
4th - Jeep Commander
3rd - Hummer H3
2nd - Range Rover Sport
1st - Toyota Land Cruiser
