Whatever. Call yourself a baller, having features on your car that no one needs in your region
for me it's all about the launch

I read an article that said used vehicle prices are actually rising right now.

Cars are generally cheaper in the winter months. Though I have no idea if that makes a difference in FL

The Acadia is the same as the Traverse and Enclave in typical GM badge engineering.

From Wikipedia:
C1XX is the crossover variant of the E2XX platform, replacing the Theta Premium and Lambda platforms. It underpins the 2017 Cadillac XT5 and soon to be followed the 2017 GMC Acadia in regular wheelbase form, while the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse and 2018 Buick Enclave will utilize the long wheelbase variant.

The upcoming Blazer will use the SWB platform.

What about the Buick Envision, it looks good... Hell, I was parked next to a new Equinox the other day, that thing looked pretty good, IMO!!!

Didn't realize GM dropped the Lambda platform because the shape and size and alll really hasn't changed much sine it's debut in the 2007-08 'era...

What you posted says it's the same as the xt5 and 2 future, unreleased vehicles.
Anyway, my post was about how awd is important in some instances having nothing to do with geography. I wasn't playing homer for the Acadia.

Wait, the Enclave is the same as the Travesty?

Buddy of mine had one of those. Yuge piece of shit.

It started making funny noises and he was like, "hey can you drive this and see what you think is wrong?"

I did and then just handed him his keys back an was like, "everything. Everything is wrong."

He's got a 4Runner now.

The 2018 Traverse and Enclave are most definitely already on sale.

Whatever though, I agree that AWD is not a bad thing regardless of where you live.

Yeah. Enclave, Traverse, Acadia, and now the XT5 are all the same.

Badge engineering FTW!

The 2019 CX5 will have a better engine but no cooled seats I believe. In every other way it’s really good.

He'd probably pull some mad automatik respeks if he got a 4Runner
Bully would befriend Gatr son and stop being such a cunt

Gatr wife would probably throw that ass in a circle
Might even move up in the office

But his stank swampy cooter needs ventilated seats
and fuck no to the rear wheels being driven

Don't settle for crap...
No offense if you or your family works for GM/Chevy....but the Acadia is a real POS. Drove a 2018 Acadia (albeit it was a rental....but still only had like 300mi on it)...interior is crap and some dash panels already starting to mis-align...does have 3 rows but the 3rd row is pretty useless... and a anemic motor (think they do have a bigger motor? though..)

Someone already posted but it feels like this is worth repeating, given his constraints and pickiness, 1 of the following has to change: compromise on a feature (drivetrain/cooled seats) OR compromise on price (increase budget/model year consideration)....

It sounded like Gatr and his wife discussed and arrived at some compromises...

Gatr will accept swampnuts. And the search continues.
