The Acadia has received high praise from automotive critics and consumers alike. As have its siblings. The Traverse, which will be assembled all by itself at the former Saturn plant in Spring Hill. The Acadia has been among the most brand vehicle selling in the tough times the american public is going through right now.

These crossovers eventually will replace GM’s truck-based midsize SUVs – the Chevy TrailBlazer and GMC Envoy (already gone is the Buick Rainier, a sibling to the TrailBlazer/Envoy). The crossover vehicles are just so much more widely used then then the midsize SUV vehicles.

What’s driving sales of the crossovers, besides the fact that consumers have grown tired of the truck-style SUVs, is that they have generally better fuel economy and they offer more-refined rides and handling. That is what most of the American public is concerned about right now is the fuel economy of their vehicle.
