That interior is really the perfect color.

Re: GMC Acadia press photos released

I think it looks much better than the Outlook with the Enclave topping this one.. but it could be the illusion of the Enclave being muscular with the subtle bulges compared to the Acadia. (slightly more pronounced on the Enclave)

All in all i think it is very good and with the VVT engine of 267HP and the 6 speed tranny I think it should do well in the market, now we need to wait for the price..

The dash is amazing looking, but I'm not much of a fan of the dark red interior. If you could get that in all black I'd like it much more.

Although this really makes me think the Pontiac Torrent should be a GMC.

I hate the redish color but other than that it looks very nice. Not class-leading, IMO, like the 900s are, but certainly very class-competetive.

Re: GMC Acadia press photos released

Interior looks great, exterior is very good.

Ranking the three I have to agree with ced8:

1) Buick Enclave
2) GMC Acadia
3) Saturn Outlook

The Enclave is far ahead though.

FWIW: I like the interior color... at least it's something different.

You trying to find where it is and steal it?

It's very likely that it's artificially generated for the photoshoot much like the fact that it's going 45 miles per hour in park.

If that shot was taken indoors it's likely the nav would be complaining about a lack of signal.

BTW, what's up with the Cheers and Gears logo slapped on those shots? Was that website's graphics guy on vacation and their runner up man only knew how to use MS Paint, or what?
