Replying to: zman3 (Apr 02, 2007 4:37 am) SPRING HILL, Tenn. -- Saturn did a very un-Saturn thing last week: It shut down its factory here for retooling.   Back in 1996, Saturn broke ground for General Motors when it showed the automaker how to execute its first rolling model change. Former Saturn engineers are still teaching the practice around GM today.   Spring Hill was built to emulate GM's efficient Japanese competitors, who routinely switch models without stopping the assembly line. Detroit 3 factories typically had shut down for weeks to prepare for new models.   On Friday, March 30, Spring Hill built its last Saturn vehicle. Starting this week, the plant will be out of commission for 16 months as technicians and contractors remove equipment, redesign assembly lines and introduce a new vehicle, a Chevrolet crossover.
#2087 of 2998 Gold Mist Outlook with Black Leather Interior by myblubu Apr 03, 2007 (6:28 pm)
Anyone have a Gold Mist Outlook with Black Leather interior??? About to pull the trigger on a different color, but my wife thinks she would like this color combination, but it would have to be ordered. I would like to see pics of one before we commit to waiting.   Anyone have this color combination that could share some pics???
#2088 of 2998 Enclave by proudnewdad Apr 03, 2007 (10:32 pm)
I live in Lansing where all these CUV's are made. Recently, I have seen a lot of Enclaves on the road - i live a few miles from the plant. The Enclave to me has a old school look when you see it coming at you. Normally I like the old school look, but this one does not do it for me. I thought I would really like the Enclave over the Acadia, but not anymore after seeing it on the road in person. Just wondering if anyone has seen them on the road and felt the same way.

"   Count me as another. Looks too bug-eyed to me (especially with the conspicuous blue "iris" in the middle, and I don't like the grill that much. I really like the other 2 (I go back and forth on which I like better, I saw a beautiful Pearl white Outlook the other day in person, now that may be in the lead). But wouldn't even consider the Enclave if and when we are in the market in a few years       Replies to this message: 62vetteefp (Apr 04, 2007 6:36 am)

#2092 of 2998 LeNeve quote by 62vetteefp Apr 04, 2007 (6:36 am)
He also said the recent launch of GM's crossover utility vehicles, the  GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook, are off to a good start. About 55% of  Acadia and Outlook buyers so far are new to GM, which LaNeve said "is a  very good number."

The Enclave has a crafted look to it, something like the CTS. If the headlight treatment were on a Toyota or Honda, my opinion is it would be accepted more broadly as great.
#2094 of 2998 A matter of personal taste by hardhawk Apr 04, 2007 (7:23 am)
I like the Enclave because it is so stylized. My order of preference is Enclave, Acadia, Outlook. They all look nice, and it is nice to see that GM's current brand engineering amounts to more than slapping on a different grille and tail lights, as it was for so many years. I currently drive a Dodge Magnum, certainly a car that you either love or hate. For me, the look of a vehicle has to catch me, or it is all over. Once I see a look I like, then it is past the first cut and on to the substance of the car. I can never look at a car as an appliance and I will never own a car that makes me wince or even not smile as I walk into the garage each morning to drive to work. Life is too short to not enjoy it a little. The fact that we now have so many quality choices available to us from many car makers is what makes America great!

Replying to: hardhawk (Apr 04, 2007 7:23 am) I think the future of Buick designs will be polarizing.   The Lucerne and LaCrosse were designed to not offend anyone as do most high volume products. However Buick is no longer a high volume producer and needs to change. Chrysler did it with their 300/magnum. Many hate, many love but most have an opinion either way.   Cannot wait until the new LaCrosse is here.
