I will pick up my new H3 tomorrow and part of why I am buying it, aside from the fact I test-drove one as well as rented one and loved, it is BECAUSE of these Eco-terrorists! While I do garden organically, try and recycle, etc. I still do NOT feel people should tell me what to drive or what not to. If I want a fortress around my family I will buy one. You should've seen the faces on my very judgemental and liberal in-laws when I told them the gas mileage AND the fact that it's a great vehicle to drive for local hospitals in large snows. They didn't expect that, I tell you! I might not choose to do heavy-duty off-road but if there's a crisis, I can go and help. I also loved the "status" accusations -- how is the H3 more status-seeking then the new Porsche Cayenne or the BMW or Mercedes SUVs? Why are they more universally acceptable? This vehicle matches who I am...it's an iron fist in a velvet glove and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to own it.
