First, I'd like to say that this is a wonderful forum! I've been reviewing this website for the last several weeks and it helped me to finalize my decision to buy a new Acadia. I was test driving the Acadia and the new Mazda CX-9. The CX-9 was nice but it was much smaller than the Acadia. The Acadia drove so smoothly and the ride was very quiet. With having 3 kids, the Acadia made more sense to us. I was a little nervous buying an American-made car as I have always owned Japanese cars. Reading this forum really helped me feel better about buying a GMC vehicle.
I went to the dealership on Thursday evening to order my Acadia. We wanted Carbon Metallic/Ebony Leather/SLT-2/DVD/HUD/Dual Sunroofs. As I started my order with the Inventory Manager, he mentioned that a couple from Tennessee just called and wanted the last Medium Brown Acadia that was on the lot. I would have taken this one but it didn't have the Sunroofs (which was a must with me). In turn, the Tennessee Dealership had a Carbon Metallic/SLT-2/DVD/NAV/19" wheels/Sunroofs/HID which just came in and they offered it as a trade to my dealership for the Medium Brown one. Even though this Acadia had more things on it than we wanted, we decided to grab it anyway. The choice was to order and wait the 6-10 weeks or take this one. It was an easy decision
. The only downside was that they hired a driver to drive the car from Knoxville to Atlanta (240 miles). I wish they would have just put it on a truck but I guess at this point, I can't be picky. This is the only Carbon Metallic within a 250 mile radius!! I'm happy to say that I just drove it home about an hour ago so I haven't had a chance to play with all of the features yet. I hope to do so in the next few days
