I've seen the Acadia and the Outlook at the Montreal Auto Show and a few on the road ... I guess I always imagine them smaller than they really are. Also, the Trailblazer started at 31 595$  ... not that their related. |

I'm very impressed by what I've seen/heard about this and the Enclave.
Were I in the market for a 7 passenger SUV, these are decent alternatives to the more expensive MDX.
Good job GM. |

While at the GM dealer testing trucks I quickly looked at the Acadia and was most impressed. It makes the Trailblazer look a decade old. |

Don't forget "a third-row seat that's actually usable." That's a huge improvement over most crossover SUVs. |

A very large CONGRATS to you, inco. Way to go - I've not ridden in one yet, but I was very impressed with the new Acadia when I have seen it. Not many on the street here yet, but looks great. Sounds like a very good solution to your "needs" parameters (ie, carrying several ppl often). Thanks for posting and now, go enjoy your new ride.    |

Very nice! I saw one of these yesterday. It caught my eye, especially the tail/signal lights (LED?). GM did a really good job with the look of this vehicle.  |

Congrats on your new vehicle inco! I'm interested in your evaluation between the Mazda and GMC.

Wow! Congratulations!!!  I'm curious too. What made you decide for the Acadia over the CX-9? |

A while back I did post my reasons, but I'll make it short and sweet.
Mazda - 6.9% lease rate -$190 a month more expensive than Acadia for same priced vehicles. Mazda did drop it to 5.9% later - still.
GM - 3,9% plus additional 1% off for Auto Show. - final 2.9%, plus $1,000 reward or incentive to switch from VW, plus unused Visa points that would be lost. So no brainer.
Mazda, if it were the same price I would have taken. The one pictured above is the one that was ordered for me. I just let the dealer sell it when it came in because he wanted all he could get. I didn't drive the Mazda, but I did drive the FWD Acadia - mine is AWD.
It rode nice, better than the Murano with 18s, but not as nice as the HL on 16s which was the one I coveted. Still I read the reports and the ride was always thought highly of - and it is. Smooth baby, smooth.
I also ordered the cold start package - I know, but it was put to use a few times and works very well, and also rear parking assist which helps what with the big blind spots.
And it has hands free calling and On Star - I like both and while I may not use it much - it's there and I also have the Drive & Directions package that navigates me to where I want to go - it's free for year one. So overall I'm pleased and I even noticed yesterday that all the windows are etched with serial numbers. Didn't ask for it or pay for it, but found out when going for a tint.
However, not everything is as it appears to be here. If Sir A is as diligent as he has been in the past, I'm sure he will be along to ask the question. Until then, there is a little surprise that happened on the way to Oshoway - er Toronto. I'll let him discover it.
