GMC Acadia

[T.N.T]

Here's another 8-seater crossover which is huge but it design cleverly hides its proportions. Its like a minivan disguised as an SUV. It is part of the 'NEW GM' so it sure will be reliable, and has a superb interior too.

Does anyone know why the discrepencies within the Gulf?

For example, GMC is really big and popular in Saudi but not here.

Same goes for Subaru being big in Oman but you hardly see them here.

[T.N.T]

There is a 70% chance they will bring it here. As the Envoy is getting discontinued and the Acadia is the replacement. Expect one in showrooms by March-April.

regarding the GMCs n other american cars in saudi, kuwait as much but not in uae is coz the gas prices... american cars get thirsty, paying for petrol is not a problem when in saudi and specially after the gulf war... america found a strong market in kuwait n saudi for their toys...

[T.N.T]

This one gets more than 24 mpg which is more than a Pathfinder.

But doesnt the exterior look a bit plasticy (or carbon fiber as they say) ?

Looks more like a Ford Explorer in some ways.

[Happy_GoLucky]

The exterior (especially the front) resembles a slightly larger CRV...hmm

basic simple yet functional design. I still wouldnt touch GM with a long bargepole though...

[T.N.T]

See! They've lost so much of their reputation already that whatever they do now, it will take a really long time until everyone atleast considers their products.

nice ride.. pretty neat... yet its a crossover so i dnt think it they will replace da envoy with it.

[T.N.T]

They will. Infact, they already did!

[Tradeinsider]

The car will be in the region in April - the dealers have already processed their initial orders and they are being built in the most up to date plant in the US.

Quality is a major issue on all new GM products so expect the car to be extremely good when it arrives.

seems like Tradeinsider has insider info

What will it retail at? Any ideas?

GMC always have the design aesthetics which makes it distinct from other crossover vehicles. Every time they design trucks and crossovers there's a unique flow outside and inside of the car.
