Replying to: volkov (Jan 17, 2008 9:47 am) I have a good answer on your statement. How is fun to drive Acadia? MT test: MT figure eight: MDX - 27.4 sec  0.63 g avg; Acadia- 28.2 sec 0.59 g avg; CX-9 - 28.2 sec 0.59 g avg . So it's 0.6 sec less than MDX and even with CX-9.

Yes, it's still smart to not just look at cost, but rather cost of ownership. I would still have concerns re. resale, but the intent is to lease this vehicle so resale value isn't an issue. Actually the VC residuals in Canada are higher than Toyo Highlander, making lease payments even lower. And I too hate shelling out for roof rails when I'm getting the top of the line premium model, but Subaru is the same on that one. |

So it's 0.6 sec less than MDX and even with CX-9. So you think .59g in the figure eight constitutes good handling - that's hilarious! Oh and by the way, the VC scored .58g so it must handle great too. Based in this evidence, I request you withdraw your prior statement. |

Replying to: cason1 (Jan 16, 2008 9:40 am) It is an urban legend. However, you can get the Q7's (and Porsche Cayenne's) cousin, the VW Touareg in a V6 out the door at a shade under $40K without a lot of options. I was traditionally a 16-17k miles/year driver prior to buying the Touareg. 24 months into ownership I've got 46k miles on the car. |

Replying to: baggs32 (Jan 17, 2008 9:49 am) Any how, I think most people would be able to negotiate the price down a bit more than some of the more in-demand models. Plus, he was talking Loonies, not US dollars.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 17, 2008 11:49 am) $500 is all I see for a rebate here too on both the '07 and the '08. That seems way off to me.

Replying to: baggs32 (Jan 17, 2008 1:30 pm)  $38k seems high to me as well, but nowadays it's scary how easily some cars break $40k and even $50 grand. Quick double-check...LTD AWD with DVD selling for $33,427, or choose NAV instead of the DVD and pay $33,635. Seems like a decent value once the discounts are factored in. The exact same dealer's Enclaves are priced from $35.6k to $40.9k, just as a reference. These prices are in the Mid-Atlantic, and as they say, YMMV. And I don't think they accept Canadian currency.
