All of the Lambdas have boring colors. I drove by the Saturn dealer yesterday, and they had a row of Outlooks that were all either blue, black, or cocoa, and they all looked more or less the same. I was rather disappointed. On the other hand, the red one that they had sitting by itself looked great. I would definitely go with red or dark blue on the Outlook and red, dark blue, or moonstone on the Acadia.

You can't get an Outlook, or any Lambda for that matter, in black.

Well, the moonstone color is more or less black. That's what I meant.

I guess they're saving regular black for the Denali Acadia, which is like the Denali signature color.

For the Enclave, I'd have a CXL in tri-coat white and 19" chromes, please. :P

I have been excited about this car like no other, not since I bought my 1990 Honda Accord. I see the same problem coming that I experienced when purchasing my 2003 Pilot. Sacrifices to deminish brand competition. At the time, Honda was concerned about canabalizing MDX sales with the new Pilot, so they didn't offer a sunroof on the EX model (a long tradition with Honda) and they did not offer complete color combinations (including black with a tan interior, a color combination that is a stanard for high-end car buyers). Buick is offering this perfectly gorgeous vehicle, that would look killer in black, and they don't offer anything anywhere near it (charcoal, ebony, whatever). And they are targeting high end buyers! A serious blunder for the market.... guess that will help sell a few more Acadias and Outlooks, though Buick has them hands down on style. Buick! Get it right!

That 2-tone really needs to go...it dilutes the vehicle, IMO. While I like White Diamond (the only color the 2-tone's not on), I want a solid red color. I definitely would upgrade to the 19" 7-spoke rims, too...the CXL's standard rims look cheap.

My CXL AWD would set me back $44,915. Seems reasonable, since I was liberal with the options.

Yeah, the 19" 7-spoke rims look BEAUTIFUL! The regular 19's definitely look cheap. They look like slightly larger versions of the ones found on the Aura XR.... which when they debuted, I stated I didn't like. I loved the rims that were on the Aura concept. I rarely like wheels over 6/7 spokes.

I spec'd one out, a CXL FWD in Ming Blue with Ebony Leather, DVD/Nav, 7 Pass seating, driver confidence package and Luxury package and the optional 19 inch wheels with a sunroof and rear cargo net/shade for $43,040...which is actually right around where I expected it to be, in fact I thought it might be closer to 44K with an AWD topping out around 46K
