It seems ironic that just as the light appears to be dimming on the large SUV segment, GM unveils its best looking lineup to date. The lines of the 2007 GMC Yukon are much crisper, and the promise of tighter gap tolerances and a stronger focus on build quality address two of the main complaints with the existing vehicle. Add in the extra power and improved efficiency, and GM makes a good case for why you should buy its SUV, should you be in the market for such a ride. But be leery of those EPA numbers that crest the 20 mpg mark – real-world values invariably prove to be less.

On a purely subjective note, we tend to favor the styling of the 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe over the GMC Yukon mainly because of its smoked headlights, giving the Chevy a sportier appearance.
