Re: JK vs. H3
With all due respect, none off these vehicles tested(Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, The Toyota FJ Cruiser, the Hummer H3, and the Kia Sorento)), has the credentials of a Rubi, not even close .....that was so unfair
They should of put the icing on the cake and just kicked everybody's but with the 4 door unlimited "X' or "Sahara", and that wouldn't of been a problem at all either.
Sorry, they probably have that set up for next year Jeep win........I'll check back with ya next year.

Doesn't say much that the only compact 4x4 in the group beat all the midsize and fullsize rigs in the offroad tests. It's only the smallest, lightest, most agile rig in the bunch.
I like the JK a lot and don't care if the Ultd beats the H3, but let's compare apples to apples. Compare the 2007 midsize JK Ultd, FJ, H3 and Sorento (with best offroad options each) and you'll have a meaningful test.
Can't wait to see the full report, vehicle specs as tested and individual scores.

Re: JK vs. H3
Looks like it took Jeep a few years to figure out what people wanted eh? It looks like they benchmarked off of our wildly popular H3 if you ask me. Nothing wrong with that, but hardly original.
I'd like to see what people think after living with the new Jeep for awhile. How's the mileage? How's the noise level? How is the handling on the road? Then, after THOSE things are evaluated, to me at least, is it's offroadability. Any one of us could bolt together a trail rig that would make any Jeep or H3 look silly, but the rest of it?
I think the new Jeep is great, let's just wait and see how they do in the real world.

Re: JK vs. H3
I was also comparing the H3 with the JK. I have previously owned a TJ. I am lookin at going bigger. I have read nothing but good things on the JK unlimited. On the jeep forums some current jeep owners like them some hate them and cant accept change just like some H1 owners cant accept the H3. The rubicon seems better for offroading stock but on the street the H3 would be better ride quality and have leather. The Jk is avialable with all the same options other than leather but also has a removeable top and doors.
Here in ST. louis, the H3 is known as the SUV for the soccer mom whos husband cant afford an H2. The jeep is known as offroading fun vehicle with poor gas mileage and rough ride. For me I am leaning toward the Jk, as I would rather have a fun vehicle with removeable top and doors and not have to worry if they kid spills something in the interior, just pull the carpet, and hose it out. If dont plan on going off road much and want luxury and you have low self esteem and need attention get the H3!
