Replying to: hardhawk (Sep 24, 2007 12:41 pm) I wonder how long the GM strike will delay all the Lamba's on order?   About day for day. The plants will do a slow startup but should not delay too many units. Replies to this message: hardhawk (Sep 24, 2007 3:25 pm)

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Sep 24, 2007 3:07 pm) I just read where the Teamsters are not going to deliver any GM products already made in solidarity with the UAW. How frustrating would that be to have your new vehicle made but sitting on a lot somewhere because it cannot get delivered!?!

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Sep 18, 2007 5:12 pm) I read this and think you're hearing the air vented into the vacuum booster for the power brake. When the pedal is depressed after the motor has been running, you hear a swishing sound. But turn the motor off and repeated push the pedal and the pedal height rises and the intake sound of air going in to help you push the pedal ceases.   But on my newer leSabre there's a slight, soft sound even after the vacuum is all gone. I must be a seal sliding on a rod or something. Tomorrow I'll get upside down and look up to see if I can see what it is. You guys have good hearing if that last sound is the one you're noticing!!!

Replying to: imidazol97 (Sep 24, 2007 5:14 pm) It sounds like Buick is creating their own problems by making the Enclave too quiet. Now you can hear sounds that would normally be obscured by road noises. Replies to this message: zman3 (Sep 28, 2007 5:20 am) 62vetteefp (Sep 28, 2007 5:43 am) beach15 (Sep 28, 2007 4:04 pm)

Replying to: rockfish1 (Sep 28, 2007 5:16 am) That was actually one of my fears before buying. I was afraid every little rattle and squeak was going to be more noticeable. So far it is rock solid. Replies to this message: 62vetteefp (Sep 28, 2007 5:43 am) beach15 (Sep 28, 2007 4:04 pm)

Replying to: zman3 (Sep 28, 2007 5:20 am) Part of Buick's "quiettuning" is engineering out any possible squeaks and rattles. Replies to this message: beach15 (Sep 28, 2007 4:04 pm)

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Sep 28, 2007 5:43 am) Actually, THAT is part of GM design in general, and the Buick Quiet-tuning is to back that up, but also take road, wind, and drivetrain noise to class leading levels.   All the Lambdas are equally as "solid" and noise free, but the Enclave, for instance, has very noticeably less road, wind, and engine noise compared to the already very quiet Acadia and Outlook.

Replying to: bobw3 (Oct 01, 2007 11:10 am) It was leased (3 years, 36,000 miles) and the lease was up in January. I had 35,000 miles on it, so with the 2 months "pull-ahead", it made sense to get rid of it now...but it was a great car.

Replying to: bobw3 (Sep 17, 2007 7:47 am) Just took delivery of a brand new, fully loaded, Cocoa Metallic, AWD CXL Enclave. First American made vehicle I have purchased in my life of 45 years. Have owned the following SUVs: Isuzu Trooper, Toyota Land Cruiser, Acura MDX, Honda Element, Lexus LX470 and Mercedes GL 450 plus numerous high quality import sedans (Mercedes E420, Infiniti J35 and Q45, Lexus LS 400, Lexus SC430 and Lexus LS430). Still have the Mercedes GL (wife's car), but our short list for a new SUV included the new Lexus LX 570(due out late this year), the Range Rover Sport(Supercharged), and a 2nd Mercedes GL.    The Buick Enclave caught my eye in some articles from the 3 auto Magazines I get monthly (Car & Driver, Automobile, Motor Trend). After reading numerous positive consumer reviews I visted the Buick dealer and checked out the Enclave. I must admit, having never owned an American brand vehicle, this is a nicely designed and appointed SUV. It looks great from the front and sides and has one of the nicest looking rear ends of any SUV made. The interior is very well appointed. For $45,000 it's by far one of the best values for the look, size, and amenities this car delivers. I'm please to see there's finally a GM product that fits the look, design, quality and value I expect in an automobile.    Havent' had it long, but the Enclave looks, drives and feels better behind the wheel than I even expected. I'm very pleased with the decision to purchase the Enclave. I'll post later with some thoughts on the ownership experience.
