South Dakota, I'm shocked that someone besides me knew what I was talking about.

I don't understand what the argument is here, ifcar has stated numerous times that the H3 is good offroad (though I don't believe it is any better than a Nismo Xterra) but it falls behind its competitors onroad which is where most of them will spend all of their time.

How exactly does it fall behind it competitors?

If you are comparing lifted stations wagons to a real truck of course it won't be as nice, but then you are back to the basic problem. If everyone built cars for the lowest common denominator we would have no interesting options.

The article said the H3 had very good driving characteristics on the road BTW, and as I mentioned its generally considered the best off-road vehicle outside of a Wrangler by the people that have tested. So your "belief" that the Xterra is better off-road is interesting to me in only that it shows you can't accept simple facts. I am guessing its because you are predisposed to not liking a "Hummer."

:blink: I would think the Needles highway was somewhat well known. Beautiful area.

As a blend of on and off-road behavior, it doesn't. In the way it will be used (judging by past Hummer models), it doesn't drive as well, or have as roomy or as nice of an interior as many like-priced competitors.
