Here's the BS:

[Huck BB62]

Yeah, read that steamer. The Wrangler got better ride quality than any GM product. That alone shows what a peanut ridden pile of krap it the article is.

I have to ask you all here, now that you've read what the experts have to say, are you all going down enmasse to trade your H3s in on a Kia!

[Viet Nam Vette]

I Like The "Don't get us wrong..the rig is top notch"..(speaking abut the H3)

WTF.....Cancel your Subscription..!!

[NEOCON1]

LOL stupid mag

[MountainBlue]

OMG!!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ = Good write ups

I've dropped all my subs after the peeeerus was named COTY

ummmmm, I wonder if the Kia can forge 16" of powder snow???? I think I would have ended up like James Kim on Xmas eve if I had been driving one of those POS's. But my H3 just plowed on through it!!

I've said the same thing myself for years .G M believes there is a fair play system out there. The japs will lie buy and steal whatever it takes to be on front of some phony magazine . G M never discovered the japaneese art of skulldrugery. The japaneese insight into business hasn't changed one bit since WW 2 ,they still do business same way and are people sheep whatever fall all over themselves to believe it and suck it up. regards the Reb.

Huh??

[BlueHUMMERH2]

I think the Rebel is saying that GM wants to be known for playing fair, lest a payola scandal come to light (which we know it would for GM, but never for any other companies).

But GM really should do something, because some idiots really believe these mags.... If you just read a little you'll realize they're utter crap.

[H3.007]

Honestly, I read the reviews on here and the product specifications on Hummer's website. And then I ponied up. I never picked up such a magazine as a research tool for the purchase. Notice that these "professional, unbiased magazines" have never posted a stringent methodology for the tests used to "support" such articles.

I'd say manufacturer money supports the tests as opposed to rigorous scientific methodology. That and the liberal spin that the lefties writing the articles choose to spout. But then again, how could you take seriously an article that contained such grammatical prowess???

Said it before and I'll say it again: Japanese companies don't own Jeep. A German one does. Can't be any Japanese payola in this case.

Honestly, if a Jeep product is in one of these 4x4 of the year competitions, it's a given that it's going to win due to the bias of the writers ("it's a Jeep, so it has to be better"). I can't think of one instance where a non-Jeep got the nod head-to-head with a new or improved Jeep vehicle.

[Hunner]

I know this Jeep is the only vehicle that ever pulled this stunt at this place. You can buy one and hang $8000 worth of after market crap on it and completly screw up the geometry and handling characteristics and end up like this. Especially after you stick a V8 in there that is directly connected to the foot and the brain that developed watching Dukes of Hazzard. I took my stock H3 on all the trails up to level 4 right behind the jeeps. After that you have to have a true open wheel rock crawler. I think the writers are desk jockeys that should get out of the office more. Think of the article I could write about the infamous jeep just ignoring all the other fun and sane people who enjoy them on a daily basis after this one instance right before the publishing dead line. "Don't get me wrong..the rig is top notch!"

[usetosellhummer]

Do your guys really think these rags sell trucks? I don't
They gave the H2 a bunch of crap when it first came out too.
It's all about ad money and it does not sell trucks to people who can afford them.

[OFCOURSE]

You little kids are actually upset that the KING won,....set down & stop crying you little yuppie spoon feed babies, when they quite making Jeeps you might have a chance, but you have some tough comptition, Kia Sorento even beat you out. JEEP WON..Duh! Wise up & take your defeat. I'm shocked you thought you had a chance of even getting 3rd surpises me.
