Just curious have you tried the Mazda CX9 on this car seat issue, just wondering.

Just looking at rear hip room specs the CX-9 is nearly 2" narrower than the Acadia/Outlook. However "Specs" may not match real world. So go try them!

This is exactly what we did. Other than being a bit of a hassle for us, it never crossed my mind that the dealer would have a problem with it.
 
In the Outlook, two car seats will fit on the 60% side, and still allow the 40% side to slide forward, though it's tight.
 
In the CX-9, we tried two car seats, as well as a car seat and a booster, on the 60% side, and could not tilt/slide the 40% side. However, I have read in other places, that people are still able to slide the seat(s) forward with car seats in place, and still be able to get to the 3rd row, even though the seat is not tilted. I assume kids would be able to squeeze through. If you're using a booster seat, access to 3rd row should still be pretty easy since the booster is not strapped in.
 
Hope that helps.

Is HUD available on the Enclave?

It does not appear to be available. Someone mentioned it is due to the windshield glass laminations being different and not accomodating the HUD display. I don't know if that is the real reason or not.

Not sure either but all buicks use special glass for acoustics so it may be true.

I think the reflection off the glass would be there but there's a coating that makes it clearer if I undersand correctly.
 
What's this about a special acoustic glass. I've never heard that before. I learn something every day.

I have had e-mail correspondence with a Buick product manager. It is true that the 2008 Enclave will not have HUD available because of the special acoustic laminate in its windshield (designed to add to the quietness of this vehicle with the goal of making it the quietest SUV on the road) being incompatible with the HUD display. However, their engineers are working to resolve this incompatibility and are apparently getting close to doing so. They hope to offer the HUD in the Enclave by its second year of production (2009).

This is one reason why Buicks are now quieter than Lexus's.
