Gonna put this over in the H3 section too. Obviously you're biased, but thought this might be fun...
 
I've only begun to look, but I see lots of similarities between the FJ & the H3.
 
If you have an opionion let us know

Let's keep this one and link it to both groups; that way we can keep all the posts together.

There is no comparing Toyota quality to anything else, especially Hummer. I would take the FJ. It also looks good, not like a Jeep Cherokee with fender flares like the H3.

I agree now. The more of the Hummer I see, I'm sort of over it. Plus, it's GM

I've had my FJ for 4 months and have no complaints. I took it offroad at Paragon Adventure Park and it dominated. Never once did I get stuck compared to the Rubicons and H3s. The H3 could barely maneuver through part of the trails.

I can see now that I wasn't thinking clearly when insisting the H3 is close to the FJ. The more I learn about the FJ, the less I like the H3. In-fact, the H3 just looks ugly now. So yes -- next purchase will likely be the FJ. 'Just a matter of when' Thanks!

I've owned my Hummer H3 for 13 months now and I too am a long standing believer in Toyota... I have owned my share of Toyota's so as my GM H3 passes 15000 miles I too am wondering just how long to wait before moving to a Toyota... So much so that I have spent nearly 2 full days going thru and test driving the FJs and I have finally found my answer... Never!! The FJ is a sad example for either an off roader or a replacement for an H3... Inside and out - off road or on it is handily beat by the H3... Over and over I see online comparisons that have completely incorrect data for the H3 and in the end it comes down to feel and function... Anyone can see the H3 has better function - it is written in the many specifications available (the accurate one's anyway)... But feel - there is simply no comparison... The H3 feels like a capable truck and the FJ feels like a plastic toy... I entered into my search for a more reliable car than a GM (any GM) knowing I would buy a Toyota FJ and have came away knowing I will never own a 2007 FJ... I would pay the $23,000 retail price and I will certainly never pay the inflated $30,000...

Why would anyone of sound mind, spending their own money, even consider buying a Hummer - any Hummer ? Surely the most pointless road vehicle of the last 25 years. If you want to go serious off-roading you buy a Land Rover.............a proper one, not the luxury, leather upholstered hairdressers versions. If you only stay on-road buy an Audi. Next.

They dont sell the proper Land Rovers for less than a small fortune from what I have seen...same with the Audi

Can't argue with that.............but surely just a small fortune is worth parting with for the best ? Over here in good old Blighty the Hummer is horrendously expensive, (it's a specialist import so just put a £ sign in place of the $ sign and you're probably pretty close).
 
Seems to be pretty much the norm. The Cadillac CTS 3.6 is listed over here at nearly £30k which, at 1.96$ per £ equates to around $59k. Now think of our gasoline prices at circa $6.40 per USG, (Diesel is more expensive), and you could get the impression we get screwed for our motoring pleasure - compared to USA anyway. Sorry, will stop before this turns into a rant.
