#1 of 13 Looking for Blue-Gold Crystal Metallic in NJ by aroxas Mar 07, 2007 (10:29 am)
I am looking for an Acadia SLT2 AWD in blue-gold crystal metallic. Going through some dealer inventories, I cannot locate such a car. Can anyone provide any help/insights?   Thank you Replies to this message: hardhawk (Mar 07, 2007 11:36 am) aroxas (Mar 08, 2007 5:55 pm) kel30 (Apr 13, 2007 6:46 pm)

Replying to: aroxas (Mar 07, 2007 10:29 am) Many times the manufacturer does its painting in lots by color. Some times there are problems with a certain paint color and those orders get delayed. My guess is that the early production was in certain colors they think will be more popular. Of course, if they offer a color it should be available at any time. My experience with ordering cars in the past has been that is not always the case. I am anxious to see this color myself, as it has appeared on both the Acadia and Outlook in models that were tested by some of the car magazines. It is hard to judge a color from a magazine due to printing irregularities. I have yet to see this color "in the metal" on the street. Good luck!

Replying to: hardhawk (Mar 07, 2007 11:36 am) I saw the blue-gold at a local dealership in Northern NJ. It was not showing in dealer inventory. According to another dealer and GM, the car might have been an auto show car. The other dealer says he would not buy that car knowing that it was one of the very first ones off the production line!   The local dealer told me he just sold the blue-gold.
#4 of 13 Acadia exhaust fumes inside the car by awiggins Mar 21, 2007 (6:24 pm)
Has any of the new Acadia owners experienced the smell of exhaust fumes in the vehicle when the windows are up? Especially if the AC is on w/ air comming in from the outside. The smell ceases if i turn on the recycle air button. Besides that everything else is great w/ the vehicle. Thanks Replies to this message: ndel (Mar 12, 2008 5:04 am)

My company supplies parts to the assembly plant. It's a new facility. Thus, the ramp-up is slower than one that transitions between models, affecting output and versions of colors. I visit the plant about once a week and can attest to the fact that the output is at or near capacity. and have been producing in quantities of your favorite color for at least a month or 2 now. It's a geat product and nice color for that vehicle.
#8 of 13 Acadia AWD worth $2K?? by carquest4 Jan 08, 2008 (5:44 am)
I am looking to lease a GMC Acadia. Is it worth an extra $2K to get AWD since the gas mileage will drop approx 4MPG over the 2WD? I live in the NE part of NJ ....Thank you for the assistance!!! Replies to this message: elias (Jan 08, 2008 5:15 pm)

Replying to: carquest4 (Jan 08, 2008 5:44 am) seems like the mpg delta will be barely 2 mpg not 4mpg but either way I think seasonally swapping snow tires/wheels could be better since snow tires help the vehicle stop in winter where and AWD doesn't. i'm not even sure snow tires are available in the 18" size, maybe not. if you don't have a mountain/mud-pit driveway i bet you are probably good with FWD. either way, most people will want the AWD. i wonder what % is made AWD vs FWD for this vehicle. also, what % of people say ARCADIA instead of Acadia? and what % of owners wish for a diesel engine? keep those cards and letters coming, people.

Replying to: awiggins (Mar 21, 2007 6:24 pm) I also have smells that come into my 2008 acadia through the vents. I get smells of gas (propane). I noticed the smells the first time I drove the car. I took the car into GM who told me the smell should burn off. At 2500 miles I still get the smell. I have had the car in 4x's but they keep telling me there is nothing wrong with the car. GM corp is no help. The dealer said he switched out the catalytic convertor but I still get the smell. I can smell it when I get out of the car as well. It is a very strong propane odor. When it comes up I get a bad taste in my mouth and get lightheaded. Having children in the car I am very concerned. Yet GM says they can not identify the order. What did you do to resolve this problem. They are talking about switching out the gas tank. I leased the car and don't know what to do. Please let me know.
