I don’t care how bad I get flamed for this, I drove an H3 when they first came out and I love them. It’s sort of a way more snazzy and overpriced Cherokee, but whatever. :lol 4runners are wicked nice, I wanted one when I got my Jeep, but $$$ would not allow it. ---

It’s a chevy colorado platform, which is the replacement for an s-10 pickup. The SUV based on the S-10 pickup was the blazer, so basically it’s a new blazer. As long as you realize that it’s not in any way, shape, or form, a Hummer, then it’s okay to own one. ---

I would get the H3 over the Nitro if the cost was about the same. If for no other reason other than you would have a black Dodge Nitro towing a Dodge Neon and look like one of “those guys” - you know? :tongue ---
