Default 5.3???

Is the 5 cyl worth a crap? Or spend the money on the Alpha?

I've got the 5 cyl. and I think it is fine for what it is. The H3 will never be confused with a rocket. Also I get around 16 mpg while the Alpha probably gets around 13-14 mpg.
That said I will probably get an Alpha. I am looking to trade in my 3 for a T next month and will most likely go for the 8 cyl but I wil not rule out the 5 cyl.

It is time for a new rig. I want an H2. I have the funds for it. But the next vehicle will be my daily driver and I would not want to rack up miles on the h2 since this might be the last of them. So I will get it next year and I am going to get me an H3 or a Rubicon unlimited. I just dislike chrysler and their motors. I also can't wrap my head around a 5 cyl. having had v8's all my life.

I read car mags and the Rubicon has received some of the poorest ratings out there.

The interior reviews are just unreal.

I wouldn't even test drive one.

They do look good though! Darn shame they are put together like that.
