Actually, nothing... Butl, often when you drop mention of H2/H3's here... folks can get a little squirrely. Dem's fightin' words...

But, surprised as I am at this, I agree with you. The H3 is a box dropped on a GMC SUV frame, which is just plain silly. The Wrangler is now, has always been and hopefully always be a purpose built offroad-capable vehicle. That said, Jeep has clearly found a new market with the 4 door JK.

This is good IMHO, because it now opens up 4 wheeling to families and people who just need more room and still want a trail-ready rig. But, there are also folks who are buying them for looks and they're the latest, greatest thing. I'm hoping that's the minority though. If not, it could very well be that the Wrangler goes the H3 route... shudder... Especially with Jeep's somewhat uncertain future.

It would be sad if our beloved Jeeps got diluted to what are basically just big cars... like the H3.

Not really. Remember, the CJ was known for offroading, the Wrangler was made fun of because it was more of a yuppie jeep than the CJ.
1. My Mom does not own a Sahara. She has an X!
Heaven forbid.
2. She bought it for 5 reasons (Look below)
Everyone buys it for certain reasons, and most people's are different.
3. I hate Soccer to tell the truth.
Duly noted
4. I dont try to cause shit here. Some people just get pissed off so easily...
You are one of those people. And yes, this was a trolling thread.

1. We needed more room(We had a VW GTI)
That is why they made a 4 door Jeep, and that is why it is selling more than the 2 doors could even dream of.
2. Something more fun, we live 5 minutes away from 100's of acres of trails BTW
We know, because every time you get near one of them you tell your mother to take the Jeep offroad so you can take pictures and start a new thread about it
3. Something to tow Dirt bikes, Quads
Almost any vehicle can do that
4. My mom likes the roof.
And now you have the number 1 reason people buy the Wrangler, because it is a 'vert. I am sorry you feel that people should but it for something else, but remember, they do make a 2wd version now, and offroad capability isn't terribly hard with that.
5. It had to be 4x4, because of roads around here, lot of snow, mud, and trees are always on the road( The JK can go over the trees)
Driving over trees is pretty dumb. If it is that bad, carry a chainsaw, or move them with the winch. Oh wait, you don't have one yet.

Dr. McNinja: My Mom just happens to be 40.
I stand corrected

SONIC: You are the Only person to get what im saying. Do we want the Jk to turn into the next H3. No!
Who cares if it does? I don't care if people judge me based on my car, nor should anyone else. There are more important things to worry about.

Dr. McNinja... I need surgery... STAT! I just ruptured several critical organs and pooped my pants laughing!

You just "surgically" dissected FR's post with great precision! Can I add you to my preferred providers list?

No pity here... hehe! 4 boys?!! You definitely have your hands full! Fortunately, you're married... otherwise I'd try to scoop you up! But, I've been told I'm quite a handful. I like to think I'm a work in progress and a 12yr old trapped inside an adult body... hence my JK purchase. Call it my mid-life crisis rig!
