We have a Chevy Traverse which is the poor mans Enclave. It’s great. It’s about as much interior space you can get with going to a full on truck suv like a surbuban. The third row is actually decent and it’s not terrible to drive. I’d love a model y, but would lose quite a bit of functionality, plus the costs is feasible right now.
We first saw the Acadia in 2007; GM had one parked outside the exit of the Test Track ride at EPCOT. Came home and ordered one right away - our son had just been born and we were looking to exit a Nissan Altima whose crash test results were.... dire.
That Acadia led to an Enclave which led to another Enclave which - if the deer hadn't intervened - we'd still have. But now it'll become a Model X. The X is a downgrade in a few ways - cargo room, interior and some creature comforts (rear seat HVAC controls, cooled seats, etc).... but such an upside in so many other ways. :-0
I give GM a lot of credit - it's a well designed vehicle. The Enclave/Acadia/Traverse trio - all of them - are solid. If they can stick an electric powertrain in it.... that thing has a LOT of potential.
