Why aren't we very skilled 'auto makers'? We build some of the worlds best cars, and no dis-respect to American manufactures, our cars handle a lot better and for a sports/super car we know it's not all about power.

The English aren't very skilled auto makers. Land rovers and jaguars are especially terrible. They can make a vehicle only paint deep. They can't master the mechanics on how to build a reliable vehicle like the Germans, Japanese, or American brands.

Nope. I think they're much better than Wranglers or most other offroads. They look great, especially the front.

Ahh they are both great. Defenders are a lot more spendy out of the box though. They are probably equivalent of a Rubicon though stock for stock in terms of capability.

These look more like a Jeep Commander than anything.

The H1 was awesome. The H2 was dismissable as a small stumble by GM. The H3 was a horrendous abomination that should have never seen the light of day

And a 'humvee' just says I'm a careless gas waster. The first ones were fine but the last few were cheap, unreliable compared to these and oddly small inside.

Shane Carroll Jul 31, 2011
Nah, not seeing a humvee resemblence here
