THAT’S GONNA LEAVE A MARK

From the Detroit Free Press comes a most unflattering review of the Hummer H2 SUT from Car and Driver’s executive editor, Tony Swan. Read the whole thing, as they say, but this is too good not to quote:

If the Bauhaus design people were correct, and form really does follow function, then the challenge with the Hummer H2 SUT is discerning just what that function might be.

Invading adjacent neighborhoods? General intimidation? Style statement? Conspicuous consumption?

It certainly works well for all of the above, but when it comes to ordinary vehicular functions — going, stopping, turning, towing, transporting people and cargo — it’s hard to see how taking a perfectly useful General Motors full-size SUV chassis and making it look like something out of a G.I. Joe comic book enhances its usefulness.
