Hate to say it, but a $35k H3 will NOT have the same off-road capabilites of a Rubi. Since the locker and larger tires are both options (probably not covered at the $35k level), I seriously doubt an H3 can touch a Rubi's capabilities without those upgrades. I am a little worried that we won't see the H3 compete for the Grand Cherokee market as well as GM thinks as the base price is a bit high still and 99% of the potential buyers won't give a crap about true off-road performance.

Maybe they're hoping the "because it's a hummer" will bail them out.

I didn't say it CREATED the brand. I said it created STRONG branding. In other words, it made it more popular. "Branding allows a company to differentiate themselves from the competition and, in the process, to bond with their customers to create loyalty." - Steve Hall, Marketing Vox News. You've heard the slogan "Like nothing else"? Although Hummer was already popular because of the H1, it became even more popular when the H2 was introduced. It is still a niche market because when you look at the demographics of current customers, you will see it is a pretty specific market. However, more people are FAMILIAR with the Hummer brand because of the H2 which will probably lead to more interest in the H3, IMO.

I read the specs and performance on the H3. They are terrible! There are so many trucks with similar or better capability than the H3 for a lower price and in some instances, better quality to boot.

I don't like it, the clearance sucks, the approach and departure suck and it's not even that cool. I've seen Shaggy do some pretty incredible things in his s10. I just can't see buying an h3. The h2 makes sense because the performance is similar to the H1 for a better price with easier maintenance. H3 looks like a bomb to me. I would honestly pick up a jeep over that or even bet my touareg would outperform that tird.

Sorry to any prospective h3 buyers, I just don't like it. Get an H2 or the improved h1 (or a used one if you have a family member that is a mechanic). I'd probably take the H2 and beef it up where necessary. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Why all the negativity? You're ruining partsguy's trip man! Chill, go with the flow, everything is gonna be alright.

Was visiting with GM at dealer while there getting a driver seat cover replaced a small mark on it. He said they have been told that the H3 will start at around $40,000. He said He was shocked. He did not see the value in it at that price and looks like they are going to try and make money on the name for a while before they pull back. Part of this price He was told and part of this info is just 2 guys trying to figure out what in the world is Hummer thinking.

I heard the H3's are going to be in the 30's

[devilsfan]

My answer is a no.

I wouldn't buy it for looks. Other than the Hummer grill, it looks like every other mid-size SUV on the road. That's what sold me on the H2, it's totally different from anything out there.

For off roading, I'd spend my money on a Rubicon or an old CJ I can modify.

I can totally see the H3 as either the new Soccer Mom(no offense)kind of vehicle or maybe just a young dude who WISHES for an H2.I Personally would NEVER be seen in one, but I won't begrudge anyone who gets one!Hey at least it's KiNdA a Hummer

I will be trading my 03 H2 in on an H3 and giving it a shot. Save me about 50% on current fuel costs and I have an idea that it will fit up many trails more easily. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I don't think your Citroen is going to do much as a trade. Maybe if you cleaned out your pile of soiled adult diapers and hosed out the semen from your customers someone could use it as a planter for mushrooms.

That H2's suck. Who cares what they think, most of them still think raping animals is a victimless crime . <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

LMAO!

[IPStack]

It also has to do with the fact you are an asshat Kerry supporter. Do us a favor, take the H2 back to the dealer you got it from and pick yourself up a nice Ford Explorer.

The H3 will have better ground clearence then the H2"not by much".

[kacyk]

The five seat capacity is an issue for me. I'd rather get a LR3 with 7 seats.

I wish they could have designed it to look "much" different than the H2. Although the H1 and H2 share the same lineage, at least they have individual characteristics.

The H3 tries too hard to look like its big brother. Perhaps that was GM was aiming for but I think it is a mistake. I think it degrades the H2.

[HummerLV]

i won't buy one, but maybe its a way of getting into the hummer culture, the leaf lickers won't have as much ammo on the H3.
msrp is 30K ish

[alecs wife]

Looks like the H3 will be kicking 05' Cherokee azz all over the trails. Except for the motor, the H3 specs kill the Jeep. I am sure that true Jeepers will not come to its' defense considering the IFS on the new Jeep. I wonder what inspired that suspension change. Maybe a smoother and more comfortable ride? I can't help to think that there will be some future SAS. I wonder what the pirate guys think?

Nah. I would get another H2, but H3...leave that to the kiddies. The seats in the h3 look nice, but interior looks just as crappy as the h2. I just bought my wife a loaded RX330 and it was close to $45 but would blow the H3 out of the water in quality, and ammentities. QUOTE]

First off I have had my share of Toyotas, same thing. I personally am done with foreign cars. Iam going to start supporting the U.S. as much as I can. Sure if you are looking for lux. only dont buy an H2 or probably an H3 for that matter. I have only seen what you guys have on the H3.If I needed a smaller SUV, like for my daughter. I wouldnt even consider a RX330 or any other foreign SUV . Iam tired of all the non American owned and ran imported CRAP that is brought here every day!
A large factory call Techniglass here in Ohio just shipped up and relocated overseas. A short time after that they said they were broke and filed for banckrupcy. All the employees lost all their pensions/ retirment.
I would guess that the H3 will sell very well. If I only had 30-35 grand to spend why not buy a Hummer. I think people will just enjoy saying they own one. Thers nothing wrong with that!

[XM DUDE]

I know for fact the Jeepers are going to slam it, but lets do the math, $30k for a Rubicon or $35K for something that has more room and has the same off road abilities.

Thank you! I couldn't have said it better myself. I really feel sorry for those retirees. There's a high price to pay for buying cheap foreign goods.
