Hopefully GMC, Saturn and Buick play together in the same sandbox so problems found in the 2007 Outlook and Acadia will be fixed in the Buick so it won't have "First Year" problems.

They already have. The first outlooks had a motor mount problem where frozen water could cause increased vibration. It was not a safety or reliability issue. I believe a handful of the models made it into customers hands. This happened in late 2006 early 2007. The trans hesitation, and air bag recall was incorporated into the Enclave production.

That's good to know. This means that the 2009 model for Enclave will be a much better car quality wise.

I agree wit bidi, I would encourage everyone to hang in there. I think this vehicle is worth the wait.
 
I got my Enclave AWD on June 30th - Cocoa color with just about all the options, including Luxury package, Towing Package, Drivers convenience package, moon roofs, entertainment package #4. It was a dealer demo and had about 1,000 miles on it. I would liked to have gotten a brand new one with zero miles, but there were no other Enclaves in the entire greater Pittsbugh area that had the Towing Package that I wanted. I really didn't want the DVD player, but there was $1,000 conquest rebate which mostly paid for it. I was anxious to get one (had the new car fever), so I went ahead and bought the demo one - for a few hundred over dealer invoice press, less conquest.
 
I love this vehicle. It drives and handles great - very smooth ride. It looks really sharp. I have had at least a dozen people come up to me over the past 2.5 months at store parking lots, gas station, etc. and tell me how nice they thought it looked. It is very roomy - even in the 3rd row. The 2nd row captains chairs are super - they make it very easy to get to/from the 3rd row seats - much better than having to flip, fold and/or slide the second row bench seats.
 
Seeing so many people experiencing delays with their orders makes me feel good about my decision to buy off the lot and not to special order (which I wa considering doing, originally). But I have to encourage everyone to hang in there. I believe that you will LOVE the vehicle and it will be worth your wait.

lwolf99, can I ask what you are towing with it (lbs.) and how it handles/rides/accelerates with the additional weight? Also am curious as to the ground clearance - would you mind measuring the distance from the middle of the receiver to the ground?
 
Thanks - JB

JB,
 
Hello. The distance from the middle of the receiver to the ground is about 16.5 inches.
 
I don't really tow much. I got the Trailering package simply so I could mount my bike rack. In my last vehicle (minivan) I got a trailor hitch installed afterwards, and I thought it looked rather ugly. I thought the integrated hitch looked much better. And with the Enclave, it is mounted in the bumper area, and also includes a plastic overthat totally hides the hitch when I don't have anything connected. I think it looks very nice.
 
With the bike rack and our 4 bikes mounted on it, I would guess that I am adding about 300lbs or so of total weight. It handles it fine - although that is certainly not a very heavy haul.
 
I hope that helps you!

2008 is the first model year for the Enclave. It is unlikely that somebody paid below invoice on this popular car. Do you mean below MSRP?

I paid $100 below invoice. I had the offer at two dealerships. I ordered it on June 15 and it arrived Aug 28th.
