The thought hasn't even occured to me the past year since I've owned my H2, but the H3 release got me thinking what else I'd excited about getting. I like this Jeep Rescue concept, which I'd definitely get over an H3, and maybe one day try in place of my H2 when it wears out. Respectable features and some cool toys.
