Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jan 27, 2008 8:29 am) Well, I guess the public that doesn't own a phone with bluetooth sees no reason, but it IS EXACTLY why I have a Lexus rather than a Cadillac at this time. I'm glad the transmission is a 6 speed and coil on plug has finally found its way into the GM engineering world. I do like them, I repeat.

Hi, Does anyone have any pictures of the OEM trailer hitch package for the outlook they can share? I want to be able to connect one of those bike racks that inserts into the hitch assembly. Anyone know if the assembly included with the outlook or is that part of the trailering package? For my part, really don't plan using the hitch for anything else.

Replying to: smelltest (Jan 28, 2008 3:59 am) bike rack works great but you need to take it off to open the hatch unless you use an extension on the rack. but then it sticks out quite aways. |

Replying to: albook (Feb 03, 2008 6:26 am) For 2009, Bluetooth will be there (optional/standard depending on Lambda model trim lelvel), as well as XM live traffic, cooled seats in addition to heat (again, optional), and also an interior design change to incorporate the new "integrated" center stacks. Basically, compared to now with one pod and separate radio & HVAC units, the center stack will be all one flowing piece that's not broken up. This is a design change going across GM, and will be changed in several vehicles for '09. The other very notable change is ALL 2009 Lambda vehicles will have the Direct Injection 3.6L that started life this year as the upgrade CTS and STS engine. It makes more power but also puts out less emissions and can be more efficient, so in it comes. Should be an interesting change, and we'll know facts & figures on it in the Lambdas when the new Chevrolet Traverse (the vehicle were all the 2009 details known have come from...because GM already put it on the DealerWorld system), is shown shortly.

I'm eliminating Toyota Highlander purchase inquiry after driving the Enclave but remain concerned about the mileage. My '05 Honda Pilot gussles gas to the tune of 14mpg in town. Pilot is only rated for 15 (and truthfully it is consistent  14.5 for 3 years running) so if 18 is reasonable, I could live with that. I'm reading reviews on the Enclave of 16-18mpg around city driving (90% of my driving) to a guy in Pittsburgh saying around 10 (hilly) which is quite a big difference. I do have a steep grade for about 1/2 mile 2-3times a day to get out of the valley I'm in - and am concerned that combined with traffic/lights I'm going to be buying another gas hog. Don't know that the downhill drive back compensates for the effort of the uphill on the mpg  Feedback from owners (in hilly areas) ?

Replying to: natalulu (Feb 05, 2008 7:07 pm) I seenow that the '05 was rated for 17, you get 14.5. Therefore that hill is killing your mileage but that kinda split is not unusual for the old epa ratings. Current Pilot gets 16 epa city so you are still behind on that one. So my guess would be you get 15 or so city with the Enclave. I know we are doing about 16 city or so but that is flat land. This is a FWD.
