Re: Spy pics of 2008 GMC Acadia

Is this a carbon copy of Pontiac Torrent and Chevy Equinox?

It's on Lambda not Theta so no it is not.

No. This is a brother to the upcoming Saturn Outlook and the Buick Enclave (the only one to have been displayed publicly so far). All three are Lambda based, but they will not be simple rebadges (like the Torrent is for the most part).

If the GMC, sans makeup, looks as good as the Enclave, then its going to put a lot of crossovers to shame...even the Theta trio...

It has a much "meatier" look like the Enclave, & it's on a different (and larger) chassis so I'd say no.

Probably "larger chassis" than Torrent/Equinox.

But meatier than Enclave

Hah, how does a car look meaty? But yea I read that as him saying Acadia was on a different chassis than Enclave. I should probably not write posts after having been out spying for 12 hours.

But I did manage to snag a Sierra.

Looking forward to Acadia and Outlook, already extremely impressed with the Enclave...
