Agreed, no need to bash the H3 to make the X look better.

I test drove the H3 several times before I bought my X. For me, the H3 was, hands down, the sweeter looking. There was just something about it that spoke to me. If I hadn't listened to my reasonable side, I would have bought one. Here's my first hand opinion.

Most of my driving would be on the street and on the street this car is gut-less. At a green light, I could floor it or ease on the gass, and you wouldn't be able to tell which I did because the H3 would act the same. It will go at it's own speed and doesn't care what you want it to do.

At speed, say 35 to 45, and you floor it... break out a good book and knock out a couple of chapters before you see much increase in speed.

Now, I understand the H3 is not a sports car and I'm not looking for it to be, BUT... if you live in a city there's hardly a day that goes by when you don't need to merge with fast moving traffic and other manuvers that require reasonable acceleration.
If you are behind a slow moving big rig on a two lane road, and you want to pass around it; you better make sure you have a lot of time before the car in the oncoming lane gets to you.

Visibility in the back is not just poor, it doesn't exist. This isn't just a matter of opinion, it's flat out dangerous. I spent some time on the Hummer owners forum (really nice people, by the way) and most if not all were installing rear mounted cameras.

If you think you're hurting at the gas pump, watch the pained expression when an H3 owner drives up. These guys end up dumping their girlfriends because they can't afford the girl and the H3, which to me, may be the best thing about the H3.
When you think about going camping down that rugged trail, get used to seeing X owners passing your camp site as they delve deep in to the forest.

The H3 is wide. I'm talking Oprah Winfreys ass kind of wide. Expect a high ding factor. Other people parking their cars will be tempted to throw open their doors. Part of my test drives included parking. I got better with each time, but I could see a high pucker factor on the salesmens face.

I know all of this sounds sharp and harsh, but I don't hate the H3. Really. I would have loved to have bought one, but I saw how flawed it was. It was depressing when I finally crossed it off my list of potential new SUV's to buy.
