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:

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.

And aren’t they basically Chevy Tahoes with even more obnoxious styling?

And, whenever I see one of these, I’m tempted to slap a bumper sticker on it. It would read:
