2007 Yukon and Yukon Denali
The next two versions of GM's new full-size SUVs are on display this week at the California International Auto Show in Anaheim. The GMC Yukon and Yukon Denali, in GM's words, have exceptional driving characteristics. What's immediately obvious, too, is that they have distinctive appearances, much more so than the last editions.
The Yukon is the mass-market edition, available in cloth or leather-trimmed versions with rear- or four-wheel drive. Tall headlamps and smart details distinguish the Yukon from the similar Chevrolet Tahoe. Like the Tahoe and the new Denali, the Yukon is longer and wider than the past versions, has a stiffer body structure and a new power-steering rack, and standard anti-lock brakes with stability control.
Seventeen-inch wheels are standard on the Yukon, as is a 320-hp, 5.3-liter V-8 engine (though a 290-hp, 4.8-liter version will replace that on rear-drive models later in the model year, GM says).
The Yukon Denali, meanwhile, gets some exclusivity added to its image in the 2007 edition. A new 380-hp, 6.2-liter V-8 mated to a tap-shift six-speed automatic transmission is reserved for the Denali model. A chromed grille, different head and taillamps and special 18-inch wheels separate it from the Yukon as well as automatic climate control and remote starting.
Both the Yukon and Denali offer a laundry list of options, including running boards, a power tailgate, DVD navigation, and a DVD entertainment system, as well as three-row side-curtain airbags (standard on the Denali). Both versions will be on sale in the first quarter of 2006.
IMO, can someone please FIRE GM's design team? Enough is enough. I can't wait to see one of these big clown faces in my rearview.

what a suprise that every Honda fan comes on and says.. "wow, it's ugly"... I think all you guys saw was GM somewhere on the car and determined it was ugly and crappy...
Rest assured, they will sell plenty..
and please don't say this car is ugly, one look at the ridgeline only confirms that Honda isn't doing a better job at designing..

Pics don't do this justice. It looks MUCH better in person. They will sell a ton of them. I'd love that 380hp 6.2L with six-speed auto Denali. Yum.
