Not a BMW or a MBZ or an AUDI

Does anyone have one of these? Just wanted your opinion.

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
They look nice but how do they drive?


They are also a little to big for my taste.

I drove an Impala and was shocked at how bad it was. But maybe i've been driving BMW's and MBZ's too long

The Acadia has received a lot of very very positive reviews. The interior is vastly improved, it rides great, better mileage than the Trailblazer, better handling, you name it, GM got this truck right. My only issue with it is that it's front wheel biased, and I don't like that, but that's not to say that there's anything wrong with that, it's just my personal preference.

Saturn has a version of it as well.

E-gads.....didn't know about the front wheel drive part. Hmmmmm. Front wheel drive is not my cup of tea either. I have a friend who really enjoys his and i'm always looking at other rides just to see what they offer pro's and cons. Thanks

Edit:

Hey gresch, looks like it come is AWD as well (Each is available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. )

Yes the all wheel drive has a front wheel bias

The answer is "who said I wanted one"?

If i were to guess based on your question; your opinion is there's an abundance of cons about this vehicle . If that's the case please then fill us in.
