Replying to: vinnyny (Feb 16, 2009 9:39 am) The point of that, I think, is to get the "big score" in rural areas, where they can negotiate less: car dealers almost NEVER negotiate around my area, because there's comparatively few. Luckily, I work near White Plains, and can always hit them over the head with that and get them to move, but a lot of people are not willing to drive an hour-plus to go to another dealer. Of course, even here GM shoots itself in the foot: though one must drive an hour to look at another Acadia, one can drive 2 minutes north and look at an Outlook, or 1 minute south and look at a Traverse. Curiously, the Chevy dealer doesn't tend to move much either... |

Replying to: vinnyny (Feb 16, 2009 9:39 am) When you're listing an Enclave or Acadia into the mid $40s and consumers can go buy an MDX, M-Class, etc for about the same price, very few people will stick with the Buick/GMC, unless they're desperately looking to avoid a minivan and need the seating capacity of a minivan. And lets face it, that market is extremely small. The Enclave is supposed to target the MDX, RX, M-Class, etc., though, although the Acadia is admittedly geared more towards the "mainstream" market consisting of the Pilot, Highlander, CX-9, etc. Heck, for $50K, you could get an Audi Q7.

Replying to: fintail (Feb 21, 2009 9:29 am) Problem is, nobody has done a comparison test between the Enclave and its competitors yet. (Hint; Steve, get the crew on it.)

Replying to: cooterbfd (Feb 20, 2009 3:27 am) Especially since the Enclave is badged as a Buick and not a Cadillac; many people still don't see Buick as a Lexus equal. (which, outside of the Enclave and forthcoming LaCrosse, it isn't a Lexus equal) The Enclave is not overpriced in the low $40s, but when you start hitting the $50K mark that's a little pricey, especially when the RX comes rather well equipped under $50K. And once again, the Q7 option is there, although at $50K, you're not looking at much of a Q7.
