We all know about the generally poor design choices Jeep has made for its future products (except for the TJ-based variations,) but Land Rover seems to be in the same boat. I just read up on the new LR3, which replaces the Discovery... it is longer, unibody built, has 4-wheel independent suspension, and comes with 60-series tires on 19" rims. I don't see how this new vehicle significantly differentiates itself from the Range Rover. Add that to their silly little Freelander, and I see yet another diluted 4x4 brand that has sold out to the soccer-mom (or would it be polo-mom in this case?)
The Hummer H3 doesn't seem like anything to write home about either... GM has taken the plasticky look of the H2 and repackaged it into a smaller, lighter offering that will prove just as fake and underpowered as the larger version.
My conclusion... I think I will be satisfied with used vehicles from here on in since nobody makes anything interesting anymore. :lecture:
