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.
This would not be my choice for everyday commuting. Forget the cruddy fuel mileage; just getting in and out ...

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

RAYNAL: Somebody nabbed the keys to the Nissan Altima coupe I was supposed to drive for the night, so I got stuck in the Kia Spectra. What a huge disappointment. Or so I thought. In hindsight, I'm glad I got "stuck'' in this Kia, because I learned a lot. For starters, 138 hp is enough to have

WONG: The Trak Pak is Roush's attempt at a Mustang that's a capable track warrior but also can be used every day. With adjustable shocks and camber plates, owners can dial in stiff setups at the track; everything can get softened up for drives home without discomfort. The huge, supercharged V8

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

HART: I was surprised at how much I liked this little Land Rover. It has a clean design inside and out, and the driving experience was quite nice. The seats are comfortable, and even with most of the roof taken up by glass, the A/C kept the cabin really cool. The straight-six is strong, with enough

WONG: Infiniti did a great job redoing its G coupe. Besides sporting a good-looking wrapper with a wider, more hunkered-down stance, the new 3.7-liter V6 features a healthy horsepower boost (37 more in manual models and 55 more in automatics) over the previous 3.5-liter, better fuel economy,

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

Byline: BOB GRITZINGER GRITZINGER: Good enough is no longer good enough, and this Lucerne is just good enough. In other words, for what it aims to be-a coddling luxury cruiser with plenty of interior and trunk room in a smartly styled package-it's fine. But for anyone looking for more-as the
