I'm not mad.
We're opening it up a little based on the good input that Mike mentioned.
Wife would like more room, so RDX is out.
I'm trying very hard to get a decent MDX Advance package 2014+ vehicle.
Yes, I want to get something that I like. I did not work my fucking ass off to get where I am now to drive a car that does not have the features I want.
Um... The car you want doesn't even exist. Change your wants or up your budget. Doesn't matter how hard you work, ain't nobody building you a custom car in your budget
Pretty sure Florida has had cars for at least the last 70 years and people got by just fine without ventilated seats. Pretty sure plenty of people still don’t have ventilated seats and somehow they survive everyday. You do realize it takes a few minutes for those seats to cool your ass down, right? You’re ass is still going to be burning hot when you get in.
It’s you who came up with the impossible to meet wish list. So once again, quit being a baller on a budget and up your price point, or settle for something less. There’s no two ways about it.
In the mean time, I’ll write GM a letter to see if they’ll build you that one-off Traverse...
Right, and you’ve survived the first 25+ years of your life without them. Are they nice? Sure. Will you hate your life and come home and slit your wrists daily because you don’t have them? Likely not.
Seriously, if they’re that important, get the AWD version of the car that has them and be done with it. Spend a bit more and get the seats, or spend less and don’t.
Either way, sounds like he’s stretching himself too thin, or can’t get what he actually wants. Sooo... might as well wait
the traverse might be slowly dying, but it’s not dead yet and it likely won’t die soon either. Waiting another 4-6 months to get it all shouldn’t be an impossibility.
Acadia has 310hp. There are definitely some cases where AWD is necessary. I would almost call the thing dangerous in FWD only mode.
It also weighs a lot and makes that power quite high in the rev range. My inlaws have a Traverse with that same engine and I hate the thing. It's a cheap POS even compared to my Jeep.

The "no AWD" requirement is stupid. It's not that expensive of an option on a used vehicle
It's not even that expensive of an option on a new vehicle lol. Some makes even throw it in for free.

the new Acadia is completely different than the old. It's a CUV. Chevrolet does not have an equal.
