2005 Hummer H2 SUT

Date in fleet: Aug. 24-Sept. 7 As-tested price: $60,135 Powertrain: 6.0-liter V8; 4wd, four-speed automatic Output: 325 hp @ 5200 rpm, 365 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm Curb weight: 6400 pounds MPG (AW observed): 11.6

HART: These things are becoming more and more civilized all the time. Very little road noise creeps into the cabin; it would be library-quiet if not for the air baffle in front of the monster-sized sunroof. The seats are actually quite comfortable, and as I've said before, I love having satellite radio. No matter what mood you're in, you can find something interesting to listen to.

I also like this Hummer's industrial design and feel. The exposed parts beneath the truck let you see how meaty, beefy, big and bouncy this is, and the floor mats are industrial-strength and look like they could hold a couple of gallons of mud/snow/slop before spilling out onto the carpet.

RAYNAL: This weekend had each kid doing a different sporting activity, seemingly at the same time, so there was a lot of hauling of people and equipment going on. I couldn't have asked for a better car in which to do that. The Outlook's ride is good, the power is decent, the transmission is smooth

HART: Few other cars I've driven give you the kind of rush you get from stepping down hard on the Viper's throttle. The thrust is impressive as is the rush of sound, from the exhaust and the wind. Steering is quick, and if there are any imperfections in the road they are immediately relayed to you

GRITZINGER: After leaving one Lincoln (an MKX) at the airport, it was a pleasure to return from a two-week family trip to find the MKS in the AutoWeek parking spotuntil I tried to put suitcases in the trunk. This may be Lincoln's new flagship, but it ain't no Town Car. From my perspective,

VAUGHN: In these gas-sucking times, the mighty Accent is starting to look like the way of the future: an efficiently engineered four-banger (with continuously variable valve timing) mated to a five-speed manual pulling around less than 2,500 pounds. It even seats five. In the not-too-distant, Mad
