GMC Typhoon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring a turbocharged 4.3-liter V-6, all-wheel drive, and sports car- stye handling, the GMC Typhoon is cause for any performance driver’s adulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This vehicle’s handling is superb. “The Typhoon is incredibly stable under the most severe transitions,” stated one evaluator. Another enthused that “corners are a thrill and straightaways a blur.” Some editors noted that the on-center steering feel was too vague and the steering ratio too slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The irony of the Typhoon is that it’s built on a dated sport\/utility platform,” stated one tester. This feeling continues on the inside, where editors found supportive seats, but an “uninspiring dash design and interior.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Typhoon provides the most driving fun you can have in a sport\/ute. One editor mused, “Imagine the surprise of a BMW 325 or Porsche 968 driver on a mountain road\u2014and certainly from a stoplight.” But another summed up what the others were thinking: “There’s a lot to like about the Typhoon, but I’d have to like it lots more to part with its asking price.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
