Just a teaser. It will be interesting to see how they freshen the exterior, maybe a new nose and new tail lights out back. I am not expecting any major sheet metal changes. I am sure the interior will be a huge improvement and the ambient lighting is really cool.

Looks nice, but not much to see here. I like the illumination, and it looks like a nice nav screen. I'm not really familiar with the interior of the current Enclave, so it's hard to notice what's new.
Looking forward to the real thing.

Acadia's main weakness was the OK but not great interior. I'm glad to see they addressed the shortcomings there. The exteriors of the lambdas should be fine with just a refresh, as they are still quite handsome (though I'd like to see the Traverse get a little more attention, at least at the rear end / tailgate area).

It looks like the addition of ambient lighting and Intellilink. Other than that, it looks about the same.
As for the 2.0L Turbo, that engine wouldn't have enough grunt to move that tank around. Those are big, heavy vehicles, and while the 3.6 does alright, it could stand to have more power.

Given the interiors of the LaCrosse, Allure, and Regal, I suspect the Enclave interior will get a healthy upgrade as well.

Re: 2013 Buick Enclave
Will it really only be a couple years?
I've heard 2016 as the year for the all new design, but nobody really saying if that's the calendar year it'll come out or the model year.
2 years after this refresh would put the all new design in fall of 2014, which seems a little quicker than I'd expect an all new design to come out after a fairly significant refresh.
I'm pretty interested in this refreshed Enclave, but if I knew the all new design was coming out only 2 years later, I'd probably hold out - especially because this design is really pretty long in the tooth even now.
