C&G Exclusive - 2008 GMC Acadia

[titan]

It looks good. And thankfully very different from the much more luxurious Enclave. Honestly, I still think Chevy should have gotten the Acadia instead of GMC. Still, they should all do well.

[Intrepidation]

I've seen these before on edmunds...anyway it looks far better than what GM's got now, especially the interior. My only real gripe about it, as with all Domestics, is that they haven't switched to integrated stereo units...it would look so much better that way. However I think GM's corporate stereo is probably the best looking and most integrated-like of the Domestics.

I don't have a problem with the corporate stereo - I just wish they didn't use it in every car from the DTS, SAAB 9'5, Tahoe and Impala. I wish the higher end brands had a unique stereo. For example, the Lucerne shouldn't have the same stereo as the Impala. Thankfully Cadillac has several other stereos that are different from this one (except for the DTS) The NAV units look nice though.

I'm cautiously optimistic that we might be FINALLY seeing that product fueled revolution that GM has been promising for YEARS...

If only GM can hold on long enough for these new products to take hold....

P.S. Oh, wait.. I forgot... The media will find *SOME* reason to shun them... Nevermind.

i'm looking forward to see the graphyte design cues underneath!

yep! when ahha was on, he said the two would share cues, and the yukon would end up getting updated in a couple of years to match the look better. The Yukon looks good already, but I would have no problem with it getting a slightly macho-er look, it would complement the Denali version well.

The rims hint at those used on the Graphyte concept.

Maybe other cues will translate into the Acadia as well? Pure speculation.

To refresh your memory, in case you forgot what the GMC Graphyte looks like:

It's still not my favorite GMC, but there are aspects of the design I do like (I just don't like the frontend at all and am glad to see in the spy shots that the Acadia doesn't seem to have it).

Nah, that's the Equinox.

[03Yukon]

I noticed that it was the Equinox but the Cheers and Gears website appeared to have gone offline before I could correct it.

[ichbinjohnk]

Wait...what's the Equinox?

Wait...what's the Equinox?

I found an old pic of the Equinox preview from another forum thinking it was the Acadia. I planned to edit my post but instead hit delete by mistake.

Can someone post the spy pictures and the GMC Graphyte pictures in the same post to compare - especially the front end? Thanks in advance.

It seems like the recent pictures of the Acadia should be on this thread instead of the new one on the home page.
