Re: JK vs. H3
Kia Sorento and Chevy Tahoe/Suburban...and should I say it - Toyo FJ Cruiser...
Sounds like a great off-road vehicle test!!! All things considered, right?

Re: JK vs. H3
With all due respect, none off these vehicles tested(Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, The Toyota FJ Cruiser, the Hummer H3, and the Kia Sorento)), has the credentials of a Rubi, not even close .....that was so unfair
They should of put the icing on the cake and just kicked everybody's but with the 4 door unlimited "X' or "Sahara", and that wouldn't of been a problem at all either.
Sorry, they probably have that set up for next year Jeep win........I'll check back with ya next year.

Doesn't say much that the only compact 4x4 in the group beat all the midsize and fullsize rigs in the offroad tests. It's only the smallest, lightest, most agile rig in the bunch.
I like the JK a lot and don't care if the Ultd beats the H3, but let's compare apples to apples. Compare the 2007 midsize JK Ultd, FJ, H3 and Sorento (with best offroad options each) and you'll have a meaningful test.
Can't wait to see the full report, vehicle specs as tested and individual scores.

Re: JK vs. H3
Looks like it took Jeep a few years to figure out what people wanted eh? It looks like they benchmarked off of our wildly popular H3 if you ask me. Nothing wrong with that, but hardly original.
I'd like to see what people think after living with the new Jeep for awhile. How's the mileage? How's the noise level? How is the handling on the road? Then, after THOSE things are evaluated, to me at least, is it's offroadability. Any one of us could bolt together a trail rig that would make any Jeep or H3 look silly, but the rest of it?
I think the new Jeep is great, let's just wait and see how they do in the real world.
