A land rover?

I have a H2 now and plan to get a H3 also. I could never give up the 2, but looking at all these 3's, I like what a lot people have done with them.

i agree, the H3 is really good looking, and people have done alot of marvelous things with 'em.

before i bought the H2, i'd never owned a truck that wasn't just used for work, and i didn't particularily think i was missing out on anything. but the big beast has sort of given me four-wheel-fever, and its hard to really want a car, and i find myself dreaming about which 4wd to put in my one remaining spot-for-a-vehicle

this is proof that AMG puts some kind of kinky potion in the A/C lines

mine only ever left me sitting once, when the battery cracked. other than that, it was a solid vehicle. i never got stuck, but i really never did anything too extreme either. i just had a good experience with it. i'd stick to the late 90's models, they don't have all the flared fenders and stupid crap added to make it look like a land crusher. with the supercharger and a pair of 12" subs in the back, it was really fun to drive. i'm trying to talk a friend into selling me his '85 so i can use it exclusively for playing.

I'd have to jump on the ban wagon too..I've always admired Toyotas quality and solid build..even in their small cars..So If I were to buy another 4WD truck today..I'd be looking at the 4Runners for sure.

As Far as a Land Rover..You couldn't give me one.

JD Powers shows the top 100 cars and how they ranked..Land Rover is dead last.

As a second four wheel drive I wouldnt pick another off roader, I like the infiniti fx. It's AWD but same principal. Also, Lamborghini is coming out with a new 4wd in 2009, or so they say.

Or if I would go for another off-roader I would have too many choices, I basically like 'em all: hummers, the land rovers, g-class, toyota's, jeeps.

FWIW, in that JD Powers intiial quality thing that dennis linked to, the H2 was ranked 3rd among large SUVs, so the H3 must be the culprit dragging it down a bit.

the same was true of the H2 when it first arrived on the scene - it got poor initial rankings. similar for the G-series. they were fairly awful in '02, and have improved each year since apparently.

they'll work out the kinks to the H3 as they did the H2, and unfortunately it looks liek land rovers problems are proving a little longer-lasting.
