"Great package and ability for the price."
Pros: Full time all wheel drive, locking 4x4, GREAT interior for the price, 20 MPG highway for a real full time 4x4, good looks and options. On-Star standard.
Cons: Somewhat weaker power, but than that's what fuel economy can do in a SUV. Doesn't currently have NAV as an option.
Summary: I have been looking for a SUV to replace the family truck. Never in my research of cars have I seen such emotion about a car like the Hummers bring on one way or the other. I have been looking at Jeep and Toyota, but then found the H3. I never considered it due to the hysteria about Hummers - but when I found out about the new H3, I saw that what was reserved for the H1/H2 really doesn't apply to the H3. The hypocrisy I see in people targeting Hummers, but then at the same time being a soccer Mom driving Toyotas with V8's running 12 MPG - well enough said there. This vehicle is able and willing, for less gas - and it's not BORING.
The H3 is what you have read, a bold step by Hummer to break into the world of reality. 20 MPG, full time 4x4, real off-road SUV ability, comforts and style, and does it for starting at $28k base. It's offroad abilities are on one car review site, on par with the Range Rover - and of course it's not at the crazy prices those SUV's demand. I was so damn bored of the current designs and option pricing on a lot of SUV's, that I just had to break and be brave against all the strange hate about "Hummers" and get into this. I can see why people might not like H2's, but some posts of pro-Iraq war and Republicans tied in by some here just boggles the mind. Ovbviously they aren't into "facts".

I think that this is a possitive reaction, but it's so profoundly gramatically incorrect, it's hard to determine.

The H3 may give you the excellent gas mileage you are looking for but so does my Land Rover Disco with a V8. My tip to you is that if you want a car with good gas mileage get the H3 but be warned H2's are notorious for having serious mechanical faliures with in the first 3 months so if you are thinking that you can afford to sink 30k into an suv then you can bet to sink at least another 2k into replacing your brake system with the H3. My tip get a Tribeca or find a good used Disco II.
