I've always keep car just over 100k,
 
How long do you think it will take you to put $100K on your Acadia? I guess you won't be in the market for another car until then.
 
Actually, since you had a trouble-free Explorer for 5 years I'd think you'd get another Ford since you've had such good luck from them!

yes I do if Ford will have good model. Before Acadia came up and I had smaller family, I thought to buy Edge. I have test drove for whole day. it's good car. Only one problem needs little more power or better trans. settings. The trans and power ratio one of the biggest problem in domestics cars. They look underpower, compare to made in japan. The best ratio power in the Nissan cars.

Maybe because Nissan is going for power and many of the domestics are trying for better MPG...depends on what you want. Do you need the power for towing, or do you just like the extra zip when you press the gas?

However, the VC is not called "the Hyundai" but rather "the Veracruz" is their name of choice for it. It's like they are afraid to call it by the mfrs name.
 
Very interesting.
 
In fact we're talking about Hyundai in this thread, if you want to hop over and share that tidbit:
 
ateixeira, "Is There Room in the Luxury Market for Hyundai?" #1141, 18 Jan 2008 10:38 am
 
Hyundai wants to make Kia their value brand and move Hyundai upscale, but as good as the cars are, the memory of the name is still a handicap IMHO.
 
It's simply hard to fathom that the company that used to make the Excel and Scoupe make the Veracruz. Night and day.
 
Maybe they should launch a new brand?
 
Bad timing, as we approach a likely recession. Remember right before the last one, Mazda yanked plans for their upscale division, what was it going to be called, Amati IIRC?

I think you're doing a trolling. You don't have any position, you're swinging between different cars. So, give me you're "better choice", that I can recored for future refernces.
 
I refuse - there is no "better choice" overall. It will vary along with each person's likes and needs.
 
I'm not supporting one car over another here, because to each his own best choice. It's a shame you don't (or refuse to) understand that important fact.

This stops here. The next personal snipe by anyone gets a personal letter from me.

For example it doesn’t have variable effort steering as option.
 
For once you are right...it's not an option. It is standard.
 
At least do a little research before you blast someone's choice.

I'm OK if vad doesn't like my car. I'll get over it. Eventually.
 
You made a good choice with the Acadia vad. I think you should enjoy it. Just because I, or others, felt another vehicle was better than the Acadia for me/us, don't sweat it so much. I'm not sure what you are chasing. Are you looking for every member to agree that the Acadia is the best of the lot and end the discussion there?
 
You've shared your feelings on the matter - abundantly. I (and the others) hear you. But it may be time to move past. I don't think any of the vehicles in this thread are bad choices. In fact I think they are all very good choices. I've driven pretty much all of them, some several times. We're fortunate we all have the resources to even consider them in our car purchase decision.
 
I'll try and lead us in another, slightly more productive, positive direction...
 
The CX9 SUCKS!

I have to go against that. The CX-9 was a great example of breaking the mold. I like that they tried to bring sport CUV to the mainstream- and they were decently succesful (It doesn't look awesome, but they did a decent styling job.
