methought the range rover was one of teh best off road vehicles because of its traction control system

THIS is a rock crawler. The H2 is a glorified suburban grocery-getter.

I find it utterly ridiculous at the gas mileage the H2 gets.

In my opinion, there should be a law saying that no vehicle can get less than 20mpg that is new from the factory as of 2004.

If they have to make a vehicle that doesnt weight 7000 fawking pounds to do it -- then that's what they have to do; and safer for all of us.

Honestly, the H2 is the epitome of American Waste. I'm not a "We must conserve" kind of guy, but it really does drive me up a fawking wall.

No Toyota Highlander or Acura MDX?

Personally I don't see any appeal in trucks, but hey that's just me.

when/if I'm rich, I'll invest in a truck. I think offroading is fun as hell, I've beaten my stepdad's jeep around Moab a few times.

Its just too impractical to live with on a regular basis, I'd need to be able to afford my racecar and dailydriver before I took the plunge into owning a truck.

My neighbors (brothers) both own vintage range rovers, fully restored and hopped up
