please.... "Sales of these vehicles rose 60% last month as compared to the same month last year." that's because they were just rolling off the assembly line, and most people didn't get their enclaves til early 2008 regardless!!!
and to tell people that they have to pay $40,000+ for an enclave is absolutely silly....!!! i've gotten price quotes $500 BELOW the employee pricing on both 2008 and 2009 models... it's the darn interest rate that has me sitting on the fence.

I really don't see why you can't understand what's going on here. The Enclave is SELLING without incentives or low interest rates from GM. If you want a great automobile, then buy an Enclave. If you want a "great deal", then buy a Toyota or Honda or whatever. Obviously, in order to move these overstocks, the manufacturers must give "deals" on these overpriced hulks. If you can't negotiate a good price on a great car, don't blame GM...just look in the mirror and stop complaining! Lots of us have bought this car and are very happy with the deal and price!

I agree with Kcorey, GM is in business to make money. They reported huge losses so they need to make that up somewhere. Supply and demand is what it is all about. Incentives are for moving product that is not selling. We waited 18 weeks for our Enclave and continue to be very happy with it; we use to drive Lexus. Incentives (including loan rates) are made generated by GM; negotiations are with the dealer; do not confuse them! We went to three dealers in Houston before we made a deal on ordering the SAME car. One Dealership laughed at me (really, he did) when i told him i wasn't going to pay MSRP on an Enclave. He told me I was right, I would have to pay MORE. I got it for about $200 over invoice.. not bad for a car in such high demand and low availability. BTW, we are seeing more and more on the road..

All you have to do is go to BUICK.COM, locate a dealer in your area, search their stock and find one equipped like you want. You can display the Window Sticker that shows all the equipment.
Sorry, I went to buick.com and their locate only shows 2007 & 2008 models. I then went to my local dealer sunriseatwolfchase.com and was able to locate all their Enclaves. Of of the first ones up is a CXL, MSRP $44,535, employee price $39,961. No rebate on these like the 2008 models, don't know if you can get a lower price than this, but this would be a starting point to see if you are in the ballpark. The only 2009 showing are CXL, 2008 show CX models starting at around $31K employee price.
I was leaning toward the Enclave and found a Saturn Outlook with a little better equipment for a decent price.

I agree with you 100 %....great car, worth the wait. Pricey, but a fantastic vehicle. I have had my Enclave since March. If anyone is thinking about it....the answer is yes. I am seeing them everywhere now and I saw a dozen in one car dealers lot who only got one at a time not too long ago. The interest rate is what it is. Makes for a hefty car payment. You can negotiate with the dealer on car pricing. If not, go someplace else!!!!!!!!!

I don't know what kind of vehicles you buy, but for my money I'm not sitting on cloth and I want some gadgets. That means a well optioned model. You may be happy with a base CX and that is your choice, not mine. I'm actually in that ballpark for an AWD CXL the way I want it.
You seem very unhappy about this interest rate. So SHOP the rate, why is that so hard to do? My credit union is more that a point below the rate you quoted. Take the price and shop the rate. If you're getting such great out the door quotes, I don't understand the problem - other than the interest rate, which we have established you DON'T HAVE TO TAKE.

What gadgets are you looking for? I ended up with an '08 Saturn Outlook XR with tow package, convenience, extended convenience and leather. Gives just about everything but Sunroof, DVD and NAV or upgraded radio package which I really did not want.
Leather 8 way pwr driver, 4 way pwr passenger, dual zone climate, remote start, power tailgate, backup assist beeper, CD, auto lights, DIC.
The Saturn was a little less $$ than the Acadia or Enclave with the same equipment.

I'm looking at pretty much everything except DVD and the sunroof. I'm going to have DVD installed in the headrests and I don't want the sunroof (don't like the execution of the lambda sunroof - it looks and feels cheap to me).
Have you noticed a difference in the amount of dust that accumulates in your Outlook? I know these units don't have cabin filters in any real sense and I have a son with allergies.

Anyone found pricing BELOW the employee price in the Southeast US? Every dealer I've spoken to stated that they were locked into the employee pricing and could not go lower.
