No offense, but Justin's "review" reads like a straight-up advertisement written by GM. Unfortunately becoming more and more common on autotrader reviews.
"The Bad:
interior could use a splash more colour
headlights could be a touch brighter"
That's like the job interview question "what are you weaknesses", and answering "well, I am too much of a perfectionist sometimes..."
Trying to glorify by faint criticism.
No mention that this Acadia is significantly shorter and narrower than the previous version (probably the biggest reason for the weight savings), with significantly less cargo capacity. No mention of the reduced towing capacity (from 5200 lbs to 4000). No mention of the 63K price - a fair chunk higher than any other "premium" (non-luxury brand) CUV with which it competes (Explorer platinum, any loaded Highlander/Pilot/Pathfinder/CX-9, V6 Durango, etc.)
My criticisms aside, I think this re-sized CUV is a good move by GM. Compete in the smaller part of the 7-passenger market with the Acadia, but keep the Traverse larger for those that want the extra size.
