2007 Chrysler Aspen Limited 4wd
Date in fleet: Nov. 30-Dec. 14 As-tested price: $43,395 Drivetrain: 5.7-liter V8; 4wd, five-speed automatic Output: 335 hp @ 5200 rpm, 370 lb-ft @ 4200 rpm Curb weight: 5043 lbs Fuel Economy (EPA/AW): 15.8/11.5 mpg
WILSON: So Chrysler has its own SUV. I guess that's the point; keep "luxury'' buyers from jumping to Lincoln's Navigator or the Cadillac? Maybe. If you love the Hemi or you're just a "Chrysler guy,'' it's an alternative.
The interior is old school Detroit. It's not poorly fitted or made of lousy materials, but the aesthetics are traditional Detroit luxury. Again, the appeal seems to be to Pentastar loyalists, not cross-shoppers.
For once, the price seems right. I was expecting it to be another $10,000 and was all prepared to whine about what it doesn't have, most notably a rearview camera (it's easy to imagine backing over something or someone). At this price, the content level is fine, though the camera ought to be an option. Given the falling ...

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

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

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

MORRISON: What a wonderful car. Stunning looks, especially the front and rear views, and a ball to put through a workout. With this powertrain and inherent "Audiness it reminds me of the S4 but up a notch. The chassis is incredibly rigid, the interior is beautiful and the cockpit features one of

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

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

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
