Discovery or H3 HMMM

I just picked up a used 03 discovery, it is a real nice ride and I'm still trying to compare it to my new H3- so far no comparison yeah the Discovery has lots of buttons but the H3 still has it beat in the ride and handling and off road it can't even come close one dealer was very rude when I went to look at the LR3 and told me the H3 was just a pickup truck well it was his loss since I went to another dealer to buy my Land Rover and then stopped by to see him the next day. maybe some day he will learn to keep his comments to himself although I doubt it.

you have two vehicles that new? do you live somewhere that you need off roading capablilty?

The H3, hahahaha, it's funny how many people don't know it a chevrolet colorado (GMC Canyon) chassis, (complete). hahaha H3 don't compare to a disco, dosen't even compare to it's H2 brother, and not even close to an H1.

so whatg do use people thinks better?

The H3 isn't even on the radar screen. When I see someone in an H3 I actually wince and pity them.

hell, i'm in a freelander and i pity them too.

Hummers are just cheaply constructed, plain and simple.

Built Ford Tough transfers to Land Rover as well.

GM= American Revolution? WTF? no, that was from 1776 to 1783, and we already won, why is there a need for another revolution unless GM is trying to break away from the Union, in which case, i propose bob lutz be indicted for treason.

FucI< GM!

I like Gm a lot, but in all seriousness, the H3 is just a chevrolet colorado. Oh yea, did I metion it has a inline 5 cyl, WTF?

I feel this post is to bait us.

the only thing it shares with the colorado is the engine the rest of the truck is true hummer and as far as it just being a 5 cyl, is no big thing it has lots of power and is a very strong.

not to bait you but it did get lots of feedback, oh and land rover can lose their brakes to you people are brainwashed into thinking that the land rover are the best thing since sliced bread I PITY YOU

I looked at the freelander and it reminded me of a geo tracker look don't pity me I'm secure in my ride just like you are in your's but built ford tough is a bit shamfull in it's self ford sucks big time so lets go forward you enjoy your toy and i'll enjoy my truck!!

hey patrick no I live CT I just enjoy nice rides, the Land Rover I gave to my Wife and I drive the H3 I feel I started something that I did not want to I was just posting my feelings on my two rides. thats what I thought this was all about. I did not knock the Land Rover at all I just feel the H3 is just as capable thats all.

Hey Pete,

1, my rover is not ford tuff, actually a buick ngine design, GM.
2, yes the H3 is the same chassis off the colorado, the differance is the body, do some research, or do you not want to feel the pitty of haveing spent money ano a mid size truck with a hummer body? Trust me on this one.

quote:

The H3, which is expected to go on sale as an '06 model, bears a strong family resemblance to the H2 and the original H1. Built on a version of the Chevrolet Colorado pickup chassis, the H3 will feature body-on-frame construction.

Quote from GM

quote:

The H3 will be built in Shreveport, La., on the same chassis as the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon mid-size pickup trucks.

Again, Quote from GM

quote:

The oddball, if sophisticated, General Motors five-cylinder engine just hasn't enough beans to produce interesting velocity changes in a 4,700-pound beef-mobile — 400 pounds heavier, and less powerful, than a Ford Explorer.

H3's engine is the same 3.5-liter inline five used in GM's Chevrolet Colorado compact pickup. Logical, because Colorado is the H3's platform. GM owns Hummer, so it can do that.

You want me to keep going or what????
Get your facts straight before you try to school me on anything automotive!!!

Your first post is to dog Land Rover on a LR forum I am surprised you were
not ban.

It is your mind that is closed or maybe you don't know how to read if you go back to my first post I did not dog or knock or say anything bad about the Land Rover if I did not like it I would not have got one or given it to my wife to drive. I think they are well built and offer a great ride and are very safe and secure, however what I did say is that I feel that the H3 is also a great truck and that I feel it offers the same off road functions that I found in the Land Rover and I also feel that it did some of those better! this was proven to me on a trip to vermont where my wife and I own property that is tough to get to without a full blown four wheel drive truck. the LR struggled on some of the trails on our 100 plus acre's when the H3 had no trouble at all. Bottom line I signed on to this FORUM to talk about my vehicles thinking that I would be talking to adults that are open to new things or fun things ie (great four wheel drives trucks) what I found in this FORUM was a few adults and I use that term losely that did nothing but bash my choice of vehicle without provocation you and your Land Rover lovers need to get a life if you think that I should be banned for posting my opion on your pathetic LR Forum then lets take care of that right now.

get your mouth off the tail pipe of your Land Rover's and go **** your self's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey man, never got on you about the Lr's being the worlds best 4x4, What I did get on you about was you argued w/ me about things you didn't even know about, which also makes me wonder the fact that you bought an H3 and don't know **** about it. Which means you had or have a LR and did not know **** about it as well, thats why you had a bad experiance with LR. My advice to you is not to come on a LR forum and talk the down and talk up you H3. Is there not any godd hummer offroad forums out there for you, or do the offroad hummer forums not welcome H3's as off road? So, I say to you get your mouth off the tail pipe or what ever pipe it may be on and move on.
TOPIC CLOSED!!!!

1 quick comment...

Pete was right, you guys did get insecure and childish. all three Hummers are very capable vehicles (the chrome grill on the H2 & H3 is ass ugly in my oppinion, thats really my only beef with them).

Shame on you. Topic re-closed.

oh, and the H3 is on the Colorado chassis. I dont get why thats a bad thing.

I SAY GOOD DAY!!
