Anyone have this color combination that could share some pics???
Count me as another. Looks too bug-eyed to me (especially with the conspicuous blue "iris" in the middle, and I don't like the grill that much. I really like the other 2 (I go back and forth on which I like better, I saw a beautiful Pearl white Outlook the other day in person, now that may be in the lead). But wouldn't even consider the Enclave if and when we are in the market in a few years
I love the flowing lines and "different" look of the Enclave.
GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook, are off to a good start. About 55% of
Acadia and Outlook buyers so far are new to GM, which LaNeve said "is a
very good number."

The Lucerne and LaCrosse were designed to not offend anyone as do most high volume products. However Buick is no longer a high volume producer and needs to change. Chrysler did it with their 300/magnum. Many hate, many love but most have an opinion either way.
Cannot wait until the new LaCrosse is here.
Autodollars.com is now reporting a $1,000 rebate on the Outlook good through 4/30. I don't see it on Edmunds yet.
1.90% APR for qualified buyers for 3 years
2.90% APR for qualified buyers for 4 years
3.90% APR for qualified buyers for 5 years
5.90% APR for qualified buyers for 6 years
But no mention of cash. I think I would pull the trigger now on my 2nd color choice if there was cash incentives.
Thanks for your opinions.
I agree with you, this Onstar deal is for suckers who don't know any better (no offense to anyone).
As easy as built-in bluetooth is to add aftermarket, or to use a good headset, I have to feel you are a sucker for buying a car just for bluetooth (no offense to anyone)
Just turn on the engine. Drive. Talk. It s that simple ! The Parrot CK3000 Evolution hands-free Car Kit offers the convenience of voice recognition and outstanding sound quality by using your car's sound system as a receiver. It takes less than an hour for your local mechanic to mount the Parrot EVOLUTION : electronic box, microphone, keypad. There are no apparent wires. Once installed, just turn on the engine and you are immediately connected to your phone. Even by leaving the mobile phone in his bag, with his Parrot EVOLUTION, the driver dictates a name and is immediately connected to his correspondent. The car's speakers transmit the conversation with perfect quality of sound, regardless of the driving conditions (traffic, highway¿).
Also help me with this. The Outlook weighs 500 pounds heavier than the Veracruz, right? Why have a smaller engine in a heavier vehicle?
The GM engine has a very flat torque curve at all RPMs and is rated at 248. The Veracruz is rated at 247 so it is a wash for torque. However I could not find a Veracruz torque curve but I think it is a much peakier curve than the Outlook. So overall the 3.6 is a better engine related to power and drivability.

Ask your dealer about the cash incentive. Sometimes these things are regional, so the manufacturers don't show them on their general website (that way people in Oregon are less likely to get PO'd about a rebate they can only get in the Southeast region, for example).
Folks on an Acadia enthusiast site are confirming that $1,000 Conquest offer is still being honored on the Acadia. One Canadian dealer is saying it's good until July. Haven't heard any confirmation regarding Outlook.

please help!
Has anyone out there test drove the Veracruz and the Outlook? Is it me, or is the Veracruz just about the same price of the Outlook? Doesn't the Outlook offer more for the money?

I ordered an Outlook 2 weeks ago, but didn't add the touring pkg. Now my dealer is telling me I cannot add it to my order. All it consists of is wheels/tires and chrome exhaust tips. Hopefully this is something the dealer can add after shipment.
I like the look of the larger wheel and I've checked after-market prices and they far exceed the $895 Saturn charges. In fact ebay has the exact wheels and tires for $1300.
Any opinions are appreciated.
The way to get rid of the thumping is to slightly crack open another window. Works great.
I think you are right. A GM insider on an Acadia enthusiast site had this to say in addressing a question about going to aftermarket 20" wheels:
"Factory suspension tuning for the 19's is different from the 18's. So yes, it would be better to go from 19's to 20's. Shortly, there will be a 20" package available from GM parts. It will include specifically developed tires, wheels and different stabilizer bars to keep from significantly affecting the ride. If you're doing 20's on your own...ride will change more dramatically if you're starting from 18's than 19's."

Did anybody see the black interior with the black leather? Looks nice...wow.
- brake assist
- active head restraints
- audio control on steering wheel
- wiper de-icer
- chrome polished exhaust tips
- trip computer
- turn signals on mirrors
- folding passenger seat first row
- lumbar adjust, driver
The Outlook gives you:
- MP3 input jack
- automatic headlights
If the VC was clearly cheaper, it might be the wiser choice. But it's not, so I'm not so sure it'll sell better than the Acadia/Outlook.
Does anyone know the exact specs of the wheel I need to shop for? Any idea if they make after-market wheels for the Outlook? If so, where should I shop?
$48k!!! Ha! That's with no options!!! Canadians really get screwed, don't they!
Exclusive to the CXL is the Luxury Package, which contains adaptive headlights, power-folding outside mirrors, a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel and a 110-volt outlet.
plus, it's the only way to get leather seating, memory seats and you have to get the 19 inch tires.
i wish you could have an option for 18 inch tires on the cxl package.
I hear you. I would want some of the CXL features but I have no interest in 19" wheels. It is not as bad as the CX-9 however. In order to get the options I want I would need to take 20" wheels.
