". . . The notion of a "smaller, gentler Hummer" seems like an oxymoron, but here it is. The latest vehicle from Arnold Schwarzenegger's favorite brand downsizes the burly paramilitary look even further, creating a more affordable and easier-to-drive variant.

Hummer's first mid-size SUV retains the brand's larger-than-life look and extreme off-road ability, but it's got a more realistic size, the better to adapt to life in the 'burbs, right?

There's no mistaking the H3's Hummer DNA. It doesn't matter that it's smaller; college-town types are still going to hate you for driving it thanks to the high stance, 32-inch tires and military-coup silhouette.

The familiar styling cues are scaled (slightly) down, but they're all there. In fact, between the massive fender flares, vertical windshield and fortress-like window set, the H3 almost seems to have too much styling going on. . . ."
