I know a little about offroading. The current grand cherokee is one beast of a machine. Can the h3 send 100% of torque to 1 wheel? That one fact blows 95% mid/fullsize 4x4's out of the water. You obviously have no knowledge of what you speak if you think the h3 is anywhere near its class.

Like I said its more of a Liberty fighter but at a luxo price tag.

They're both near-luxury midsize SUVs.



Uhh, that doesn't exactly help defend the H3.

Not defending it at all in this context. It should not be compared to the Grand cherokee. Its not cant even eat lunch at the same table.

No, i've only seen the pictures and heard the 1st hand stories of the media event where the "Trail Rated" Cherokee's fell apart on the same courses the H3's went on....

I have not drove the h3, just going by paper stats and available equipment. I cant see that the h3 has the avialable gear to hang with the Grand Cherokee. Not putting it down at all, just konw how good the Cherokee is.

Oh, and I cant see the jeep falling apart. I have had them on some very hard trails without even so much as a scratch.

1994 Mazda Miata 0-60 = 9.7

Here are the 0-60 of some other cars http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html

You'd be suprised at how many do 0-60 over 9.0sec.
