Replying to: 62vetteefp (Apr 02, 2007 3:21 am) Acadia and its sister CUV are nice. I would opt for one of them to typical SUVs. But their price should not be compared to the Tahoes. They should be compared to Siennas. This is a matter of marketing. The new CUV are essentially upgraded minivans, but with four doors in place of sliding doors. I think that people will soon come to realize that reality, after the fad of newness subsides. Hyundai priced Veracruz almost identical to its minivan with similar equipments. GM is so optimistic as to its pricing of its new triplet CUVs. I envisage that their selling price will soon go down till it becomes almost similar to minivans. Soon Toyota will probably sell a Sienna-based CUVs. In fact, if the sliding door is replaced with the regular doors, it would be a direct competitor of Acadia. And the price is $1000s lower. If you still see the Saturn Outlook advertisement right next to my message, imagine any minivan with four regular doors. Wouldn't they look competing vehicles to each other?

Time will tell but so far the CUV prices are holding up. Even if the Sienna gets regular doors it still will look like an ugly minivan, not a truck. The minivan is dead, Long live the CUV!! Just yesterday I talked to my neighbor. She needs a new vehicle, does not want another minivan(4 kids). Tried to get an extended trailblazer but found out not built anymore. Loved the Acadia and will be getting one if they can find one. Finding hard to find.

I ordered a Acadia on 2/8/07 and took delivery on 3/27/07,so far like everything about it except for the way the transmission shifts.I think someone in this forum stated there was a fix for this problem,by taking it to the dealer and having them reflash the programing of the transmission.My question;is this true?

Replying to: jay_24 (Apr 03, 2007 5:21 am) Look like SUV's, priced like minivans, interior capacity of minvans, towing capacity enough for most. No wonder they are selling so well.

I just got the new GMC Acadia and love it. Now I am looking to get an iPOD connector to I can listen to my IPOD music through the factory installed Acadia sound system. I see that the factory installed Acadia sound system has a small hole (similiar to the size of a headphone prong) on the stereo system right next to the word "AUX" so you can connect your IPOD or MP3 system -- I just can't seem to find the connector. Any ideas?

Replying to: acadiachuck (Apr 03, 2007 6:17 am) But I recall reading how GM and a bunch of others were offering more integrated IPOD interfaces, here is a blurb I found: "GM, on the other hand, has developed an iPod-specific device called the Personal Audio Link. This gadget, the size of a deck of cards, synchronizes the music player with the car's XM Satellite Radio band so that the XM interface can be used as controls--including displaying the song and artist information on the XM screen. Like Ford's TripTunes Advanced, GM's iPod integration system will be located in the glove compartment and will also be able to charge the iPod while the ignition is running. The Personal Audio Link will make its debut this October in the 2006 and 2007 Chevrolet HHR sport utility vehicles; the carmaker will then gradually introduce the hardware into all 56 of its new car and truck models sold in the United States--mostly by the end of 2007. GM's device will be an opt-in feature, retailing for about $160 plus installation charges. According to a statement from GM, a subscription to XM Satellite Radio will not be required for the Personal Audio Link to work." Anyone have this set-up? B. |
