Well rotary-dial phones work just as well as touch-tone phones...
 
If you get past my sarcasm, you can see that bluetooth is a matter of convenience. The bluetooth headset is "always on", i.e. no need to fumble around for a cord and plug it in if your phone rings. And carrying a cord in your pocket becomes a huge tangled mess. And you can answer a call without having to actually use the phone keypad.
 
That said, factory bluetooth in car is even better, since aftermarket solutions are a pain to integrate into your stereo system and speakers if you want full functionality through your stereo/nav. You'll also have issues of cords dangling all over if you do it the cheap way.

OK...so they supposedly sold 4,300 Acadias just in February; WHERE? Look at the Phoenix area dealers and you're lucky to find a dozen in total in the whole city.
NY Metro area dealers have 5 max each, with some having NONE. Where are they all hiding, Wyoming?
 
I've only seen one on the road around here and that was a good month ago or more.
 
I don't claim to be a math wiz, but geez...ya think somebody
is tinkering with the numbers??? I dunno

So they sold 4300 Acadias. How many GMC dealers are there in the country. I live in Lansing, Mi. where there are most likely about 4 or 5 in a 25 mile area. Think a large city like Detroit, Los Angeles, Dallas, all of those cities I bet have dozens each. If there are a thousand GMC dealers nation wide than thats only about 4 each per month. So what do you expect?

4300/50 states is 86 vehicles per state. Maybe 30 vehicles in a large city of 1,000,000 vehicles. Kinda like a pin in a haystack.

I have seen several in the Toronto area.. they seem to be selling well around here. I never seem more than one Acadia on the local lot at a time. I think they sell as soon as they arrive, with good reason. Good product sells and GM is now realizing that finally!

I did a search of NY metro(and CT) and didn't come up with too many. Do a search of a 'large'city like Phoenix and see how many dealers there are in the whole city...not many...
and I doubt there's 1,000 total....there's probably 2 in all of Montana and Idaho combined.... maybe they're all in Detroit and Lansing 'cause they sure aren't around here....
Now how many did they sell in Dec, Jan, and Mar....add it all up and all I'm saying is I'm not seeing too many in a major metro area....MHO

Car Seats Anyone by metmdx

Question:
If you have car seats in second row of the Acadia (with the bench seat), can you slide seat forward w/o tilt to access third row? Doesn't seem like it to me....thxs

Well the US has 3.7 million square miles. Divide by 4300 Acadias, that's one Acadia for every 860 square mile (that's about 30 miles X 30 miles).
 
So as you can see, the odds of seeing one is nearly impossible. For those who have seen an Acadia, consider yourselves lucky

The bench will slide forward but not enough to give you access to the third row.
 
That is if you have 2 car seats. One car seat fits perfectly on the 40% side and allowsthe 60% sidetoslide and bend for access to the third row.
 
If you need to carry two car seats get the capt chairsand you have the pass through between them to get to the third row.
