Replying to: bobw3 (Sep 17, 2007 7:47 am) Brian MacDonald is one driver attracted by GM's new crossovers. An investment-fund manager in California, Mr. MacDonald has driven nothing but BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes for the past 20 years. But last month, with the lease on his Mercedes ML-Class winding down, Mr. MacDonald leased a $45,000 Enclave, the most luxurious of GM's three models. "If someone had told me a few months ago I'd be driving a Buick, my reaction would have been 'no way, no how,' " says Mr. MacDonald, 46 years old. The Enclave, he said, offers the roominess to haul around his three young children and the styling and interior comforts he was accustomed to with the Mercedes. Because the Mercedes ML sells for about $30,000 more than the Enclave, his monthly payment on the Buick was almost $300 lower. Half of all Acadias and Outlooks go to customers who trade in GM vehicles; about 20 percent go to people trading Asian-brand vehicles. For the Enclave, the numbers are slightly lower but still better: 44 percent of all trade-ins are non-GM brands; 14 percent of the trade-ins are Asian vehicles. And: Our data shows that Outlook has a 57 percent conquest rate as measured by trade-ins. In other words, for those purchasing/leasing an Outlook and trading-in a vehicle, 57 percent traded-in a non-GM vehicle. And that is with a trade in. Wonder how many had non GM vehicles before the purchase?

Hello. I am wondering if anyone else has come across this issue... I have a Buick Enclave AWD, with pretty much all the options, including Towing package. I got it at the end of June. It has about 3,000 miles on it so far, and I really love it. The last few days, I noticed something new. My Enclave is kept in our garage overnight. Lately, when I leave for work in the morning, I hear these squeaking noise coming from the brake pedal. It sounds like it is coming from inside the cabing near the the pedal itself - not from the actual brake pads or tire area. It occurs just as the pedal is nearly fully depressed, and again just as I let my foot off the pedal. It is not a scratching or squealing noise. It sort of sounds like the noise a squeegee would make when wiping water from a window after cleaning. I only drive a few miles to work, and hear it evey time I press the brake pedal the whole way to work (short drive). The Enclave is parked outside during my work day. I do NOT hear the noise later on, if I go out to lunch, or when driving home. It is not a terrible sound, and the brakes seems to work fine. It is just a little annoying. Has anyone else has experienced this noise or heard of this issue.

I wonder how long the GM strike will delay all the Lamba's on order? I think the UAW is shooting itself in the foot, but time will tell. Sorry for all of you who have them on order.
