Vote: Guess this car review, episode 1

This is the beginning of what hopefully becomes a weekly feature here at Autoweek.com. Your job as the reader is to figure out what car we were reviewing when we wrote these lines way back in 2004. This is a closed book test, so there will be no Googling of the answers.

Send your guesses to our AWContest Twitter account; we'll pick a winner at random from all correct entries and give you answers (along with a new quiz) next week. We might even have some swag lying around to send to the winner. Enjoy!

“Boy, this is a pretty incredible SUV. And I guess it's not as expensive as I thought it would be… I was guessing right around $60,000, and this one comes in about $5,000 lower than that. Still… hmmm…. I don't think so. It's an SUV.”

“My neighbor thinks the addition of a third row would move this vehicle off the lots faster, but I disagree. From the tailgate looking in, another seat back there would have to be pretty darn small, so what would be the point?”

“At this price, I would opt for a decked-out, well-powered GM SUV that could do some serious trailer-pulling, or the big new Infiniti Q SUV if it was more about status raising, and that is exactly what I told the star-struck woman in the Grand Cherokee at the vet on Saturday.”

Is it the Range Rover HSE, Ford Explorer, Porsche Cayenne or Hummer H2?

“Stand on the gas and this thing scoots. No, more than scoots, it's one of those press-you-back-in-your seat kinda cars. Power is right-now strong. Cool growl too. It also wafts along slowly in traffic; if that's the situation one finds oneself in.”

“As far as how this car drove, oh it felt as smooth as butter. I couldn't believe how fast and effortless this car was. I found myself driving faster and switching lanes with ease. But if I owned this I probably wouldn't be able to drive it long because I would put money on the fact that I would have a suspended license. At one point when I was getting on the highway from the ramp, I realized I was nearing 90 miles per hour – oops.”

“This is the max in luxury, the vented rear seats the self-closing doors and trunk, laser guided cruise control, the only thing missing was the 5'10” dark haired chauffeur with the killer legs.”

Is is the BMW 650i, Aston Martin DB7, Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG or Ferrari 612 Scaglietti?

“After spending an entire week in the car, I realize that even though it could easily stand another 40 horsepower, it's the perfect little rocket for city driving. Small enough to park in coveted downtown spaces, yet large enough to haul a month's worth of groceries.”

“The car looks great with the Euro package; the orange is a real treat. The Recaro driver's seat is way more comfortable than the regular ones and all the little add-ons make for a very nice package. The seat heater placement on the console floor is a welcome change”

“Growing up in an environment where hatchbacks were almost unheard of, it was hard to find one that I would actually consider buying. Now, I think I may have found it, granted it did take me awhile to warm up to it, I really think this car could be the one.”

Is it the Honda Civic Si, Dodge Caliber SRT4, Ford Focus SVT or Volkswagen GTI?
