An H2 Hummer and an FJ in the garage????

[BlueHUMMERH2]

Having been in the position of having both an H2 and H3 in the driveway, I'd have to say, in my opinion, Dennis has contracted mad cow disease.

I find the H3 interior quality to be extremely high in comparision to both the FJ and the new Wrangler. I never really found the engine in the H3 to be lackluster, except when passing on country roads (which I do maybe 3x/month). I personally don't like a powerful, rip-roaring engine unless there's sporty handling to back it up (i.e., BMW X5). So the whole acceleration/power argument is a moot point in my opinion, and if you're really interested in an off-road vehicle, should it matter if you can go 0-60MPH in 8 seconds? I think the relationship of the torque band to RPM's should be of more interest.

If you're looking for strictly a street vehicle, then avoid the H3. It's not designed for that use. Choose a Ford Explorer or the new GM Acadia/Outlook/Enclave CUVs, because they certainly have the power, and the latter models will have tons of cargo room, airbags, seating, AWD, and power along with 22-24 MPG. There's absolutely no reason to have an FJ, Jeep, or Hummer if you're not looking to use it off-highway.

So I suppose we should ask, what are your intentions with the next vehicle Dennis? Do you plan to take it off the highway? Or is it a mall cruiser designed to ferry dry goods from the grocery store and back? No offense here, but we should just know what your intentions are.
