Ran a search, saw nothing, at least not a dedicated thread. If these have been posted, I can delete...

Acadia Pics

Edmunds describes them as the new Envoy, but I think that it looks more like the Lambda based Saturn Outlook in terms of overall shape. Plus the front end looks too low to the ground somehow for a GMT360/361 vehicle.

I actually found this in a thread on Saturnfans.com, and the guy who posted it listed it as the Acadia. Other posters in the thread agreed, as do I. What do you guys think?

Looks like a pretty nice vehicle.

 

Looks like an Envoy to me...could be wrong though.

 

AH-HA and evok have both confirmed that this is the Arcadia on both GMI and C&G. It is also VERY similar in profile to the Saturn Outlook spy photos that surfaced about 2-3 months ago. I do belive that engines should be the 3.6 DOHC and the 4.7 Ultra V8, rumored to be SOHC or DOHC and the 6 speed auto should be the only transmission offered. evok has illuded that they will be built in Delta Township AND the Oklahoma City plant that the LWB GMT360s are built at currently. I imagine that the plant that builds the regular wheel base models will build a slightly longer wheel base than the SWB but less than the LWB.

 

Front end too low, back end too high.

If this is the Lambda X-over, it's much bigger and upright that I envisioned it. It looks about the proportions and size of the Envoy and TrailBlazer.

 

Looks like an Envoy to me. Even has the trademark foot of space between the tire and top of the wheelwell opening.

 

Its the cross-over vehicles. Having seen them in person, this is them. The Chevy is even more impressive both interior/exterior wise.

 

You must be seeing things. There is no Chevy Lambda...........yet.

 

Can anybody shed some light on this "Ultra 4.7l" V8? The first I've heard of it is with these crossovers. Specifically, what's the "ultra" all about? And since I'm on the topic of powertrains, can anybody spare some details on the 3-valve cyl. heads? Didn't they debut at SEMA like 2 years ago? Geez, some people can claim to put out a whole car in that time (starts with a "T" and ends with "oyota"). This is one example of where I think GM is still missing it; why hold back your best effort? I can't believe that 3-valve cyl. heads costs that much more than a 2-valve. I would think you could spred costs between the 3.5l and 3.9l engines and between the 4.8l, 5.3l, 6.0l engines to dilute the cost even further. The consumer wouldn't notice a relatively small expense (<$250). They WOULD notice the even-better gas mileage and the even-better performance..

 

same.
