Get out your Consumer Reports "Best and Worst 2007 Cars" and take a look.

Out of the 56 SUVs rated by Consumer Reports, the H3 is clearly better than 29 of them and about the same as 4 others. Hummer beats out the likes of the BMW X3, Infinity QX56, Cadilac SRX, Land Rover LR3, Mercedes M-Class, Nissan Pathfinder, Volkswagen Toreg and Volvo XC90. The H3 is rated about the same as the BMW X5 and the Infinity FX. Of course the Toyota and Lexus win out every time.

So you bought it based on it's looks?

lol

Looks did play a part in our decision. Would you ever buy a car that you didn't like to look at?

I'd understand if it was a beautiful Murcielago that could compensate for your small penis, but a Hummer?

The Sequoia just looks so plain jane to me, while Hummer looks more detailed and stylish.

That is one ugly Hummer.

The H1's on the other hand were nice.

Questions that could have prevented this tragedy, if only Gramps had thought of them earlier:

1. "I am going to buy a Hummer!" ... Does that really sound like the best idea?

2. Is one major hurricane per year really worth driving this car all year round?

3. That new BMW X5 looks really hot, maybe I should get a good car instead of that Hummer?

4. How many days a year are the roads actually flooded? Maybe I could get a great practical car for my wife, like the Audi A3 Sportback, the BMW 3 series, or even the Alfa Romeo 159 Sportswagon?

Don't have the Consumer Reports in question, but I've seen figures showing the H3 to be a piece of crap. See this thread for reference.
That aside, why the HELL would you want to buy from a company like that? Oh and got any crash test data on the H3? I'll bet they suck ass.

Oh look, the A3 is waterproof:

You wouldn't understand shit considering the closest you come to owning a car is mummy driving you down to the local milkbar on a saturday night.

The H3 dwarfs all of those and rates the same or better. I'm sorry, but my wife doesn't want to ride one of those skateboards to work every day.

BTW, the 07' H3 rides great.

This thread is filled with misinformation and uniformed opinions. So referring to this thread wouldn't make any sense.

A company like what?

I'm sure the crash test data can't be that bad since the H3 has a complete tubular chassis and airbags everywhere.

So there are 20 or so better suvs and you got that one? Post a pic of you flexing while hanging out the window of that bizniatch.

Post by **YourGrandpa** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 1:27 am

Have you seen the ratings? The difference between the 23 other SUVs and the H3 is minimal.
