I'm yet to drive an H3, although the closeness of the pedals as you all describe scares me. That's a very major flaw, potentially fatal. I can't think of a worse thing to do in a motor-vehicle by accident than mistake the brake peddle with the gas peddle, or vice versa. Imagine being on a crowded highway and accidentally pushing swiftly on the break by mistake. Imagine pulling into a driveway/garage and accidentally gassing the Hummer into your house.
