CNN ranks the FJ lowest of 3 reviewed :-(

Off-roaders in the real world | 1 | CNNMoney

Summary: FJ, Wrangler and H3 deemed by CNN Money as "serious offroaders" are reviewed as to how well they are as a everyday vehicle. FJ gets the lowest score, H3 gets the highest.

In my opinion, you don't buy the FJ just to keep it on the pavement all the time and FJ owners know that you sacrifice some things when you buy a vehicle that is more than "off-road" capable. But I digress. Let the flaming begin!

This is why I like Fox news.

Well, If CNN thinks H3 is best then Im going straight to the dealer and trading in my FJ ..LOL!
Since when does CNN specialize in off road vehicle reviews? Guess they got to get paid somehow.

Reviews reviews reviews. I really don't care what anyone thinks about my FJ except ME!

"but the Cruiser feels thick-legged and lumbering on the road."

Uh....OK. Not.

"Both leave the FJ Cruiser in the dust when it comes to the real world."

If you have taken the blue acid, please report to the medical station immediately.

Their review didn't really say anything but that they didn't like that they couldn't see very well. Although in the real world, that is kind of a pain in the butt.

P.S. I hate Fox News!

my unbiased opinion: I sat in an H3 last night at the Auto show.

what a pile of crap, seriously. and I'm not bashing other peoples' cars, etc.....I would say the same of any cheap-feeling car

(as you know, I'm a big Land Rover fan but I remember the Freelander first coming out and sitting in it and saying the same exact thing, so I don't discriminate)
