Hi Outdoor Dad,

While I agree that the H3 Alpha in a nice vehicle (finally a V8), the base price is around $39K bare bones. Still kinda slow though with 0-60 at 9 seconds compared to the Toyota at about 7.5 seconds.

The standard H3 has an inline 5 engine rated at 220 HP, 225 LB (07). FT of torque. There is also the reliability factor, but I won't go there right now.

The new Jeep Liberty seems pretty cool, have done to much research on that yet, but I do like the new styling.

Good luck with your search and keep us posted on how you make out.

I'm not so sure about that site. Is that a hoax? 18' turning radius for a vehicle that's 17' long? 150 horsepower in-line 4-cylinder? It sure looks fishy.

Four wheel steering.

Here is another site which might help clarify some things...

Can I get it in Blue?

...that are the envy of Panzer Grenadier veterans

LOL, good one.
