Replying to: gagrice (Nov 29, 2008 7:06 am) I think it is due to what they think it should get. The Lambda is a replacement for the Yukon/Suburban for most peoples needs. Can haul 8 people and tow 4500#. It is not a car. Sub is 14/20 Enclave is 17/24 While I never drove a sub for long enough to get my mileage my Envoy got around 14 how I drive. My Enclave gets a bit more. Do think it should get a couple more it is a big vehicle. I took it once on the highway for 12 hours and got 24 so at least I got what is expected at the top end.

Replying to: m4d_cow (Nov 29, 2008 11:41 am) Same with the Traverse. So why both? Yukon/Suburban drive like trucks (but much better than the old ones) and the Traverse drives more like a car. I guess the biggest reason for buying the Sub/Yukon is if you need real truck off road ness (contractors, etc.) and/or real large towing capability. I see many of the families at my school replacing their suburbans with the Lambdas. Must be something good about them since they are everywhere. Just do not expect them to double your mpg from the Suburban. But you will never see the Sub's go away. There is still a market for them. |

Replying to: cooterbfd (Nov 29, 2008 1:23 pm) The engine might fit, but GM doesn't have an FWD tranny that can handle the torque. |

Replying to: cooterbfd (Nov 29, 2008 4:10 pm) Sorry, couldn't resist.  And from what I've heard, Buick has actually been trying to get out of the habit of flooding the rental fleets.
