2008 GMC Yukon Denali, Part Three

Why you should buy this car:
You believe you are, in fact, "Professional Grade." You've got a taste for honeycombed chrome, but not enough to go straight to the level of Cadillac Escalade. Your job requires you to drive around with at least five large men (or women) daily at a time, their various instruments of work with them.

Why you shouldn't:
You are a soccer mom looking for "something with room" or you happen to be anyone else on the face of this earth not included in the description above.

2008 GMC Yukon Denali, Part Two

Exterior Design: ***
The GMC Yukon Denali's front looks kind of like a Chevy Tahoe with the grille lopped off and replaced with a chrome chain-link fence. But don't worry, the back looks exactly like the Yukon's GMT-900 platformed sibling. Maybe it's because they share most of the body panels. And can it get any more chrome accents? Actually, no. Still, it's big and muscular. We like big and muscular. Of course so is the Tahoe.

Interior Design: ****
I feel as though I've seen this interior before — like on the GMC Sierra, the Chevy Silverado and the Chevy Tahoe. But no, that can't be — this interior says "GMC" on it — so it must be different, right? When will automakers learn that platform prostitution fools no one? Still, for the most part it's well-designed. Too bad Chrysler's got the patent on stow-and-go, as this heavy hauler could use the extra cargo space from a stowable flip-n-screw third row.

2008 GMC Yukon Denali, Part One

I first became acquainted with the 2008 GMC Yukon Denali when I called up the folks at the General in January and said "Hey, we need a mobile command center for the Detroit Auto Show...and oh yeah, it's got to seat six plus gear." GM's media fleet people claimed they had the right vehicle for us. I was skeptical, but from the moment this GMT-900-bodied beast of burden showed up at my front step I found there to be one truism about the Yukon Denali. And that is this — with all the different blank-UV options in the marketplace, very few people need this barge of a full-size SUV. But, if you do need one, you know who you are.

Celebs To Arrive At Oscars In Style, Also In GM Eco-Friendly Vehicles

This year's Oscar ceremony is going to highlight environmental responsibility, making it different from previous Oscar ceremonies... somehow. While in previous years celebrities were driven to the red carpet in Prius hybrids, this year they'll arrive in GMC Yukon Hybrids, which get significantly worse gas mileage than the Prius, and Fuel Cell Equinoxes, which rely on an infrastructure still more expensive than The Adventures of Pluto Nash. Is this Hollywood taking a step backwards? Perhaps they're learning from Detroit. Press release below the jump.
