For March Acadia sold 39% more vehicle then last year in same month.
 
That makes sense...wasn't the Acadia introduced in Feb of 2007? There would have been less Acadias on the road in March 2007 as compared to 2008 since the car was brand new.
 
Not sure what point you're trying to make...

I'm not here to argue. I gave to people some different perspective from sale numbers point. The 2007 models has been started selling in end of 2006.

Actually for the month is was 29%, not 39% (7424 vs 5739).
 
39% is based on selling days (28 last year, 26 this year).
 
To show the consumer shift from SUV to CUV, GMC's SUV sales (Envoy & Yukon) were down over 3800 units for the same months.

A Honda CR-V has more interior room, while being over half a foot shorter.
 
It costs less too. But neither of us like the way it looks on the inside or out and I can't stand 4 cylinders in an SUV.
 
The Flex was interesting to me, too.
 
Yeah, I can't put it into words, but it was kind of a pleasent surprise to me. I liked it in the pictures but it was much better looking in the flesh. It has kind of a 'Three Little Bears' thing going on. Not too big and not too small. Not to tall and not too short. Not too... Well, you guys get the point.
 
Make no mistake though, it is not trying to replace the minivan like the Lambdas or the CX-9 though. It definitely is a direct replacement for the TX. Just more upscale.

Yep, I saw the numbers. Production was still ramping up, though, and I believe they still had not added the extra shift. Numbers peaked around May 07 with over 9000 Acadias sold in that Month, as compared to about 5700 units sold in March 07. Sales have been hovering near 6000-7000 units per month since the May 07 peak. Nice numbers for the Acadia. Saturn, on the other hand, should just be abandoned...

nxs wasn't arguing, he was simply replying. Cut 'em some slack - no need to get snippy!
 
I would imagine that production wasn't going at full tilt right off the bat for the Acadia, etc, right?
 
I'm not sure why this is being discussed, though. Because the McDonald's hamburger sells the most, is it the best? How about the F-150 - is it the best, most competitive pickup truck? These things sell the most, but that proves nothing.

"Honda doesn't have an SUV? Where have you been in this discussion? The Pilot is an SUV,"
I said that Honda doesn't have a CUV, not SUV.
 
Fact is that Honda has both the Pilot and the Odyssey, so it doesn't need to have a bulked up CUV trying to function as a minivan like GM.

Another good thig about the lambdas is they don't really drive that big
 
This is purely subjective, but do you really think so?
 
I felt that they did drive big. Beefy, substantial in a good way, but big for sure.
 
Visibility may have made it seem worse to me, and as an owner I'm sure you'd become better at judging where the corners are with time.

Part of the reason why we didn't get the Acadia was that my wife thought it drove "big", as you mention. She didn't get that sensation in the CX-9.
