Didn't realize the Acadia was the same platform. The XL7 I'm driving now, is FWD, with the Platinum pkg and XM radio, stickers at just under $31k. Has the navigation, chrome wheels, etc. There are some nice options on the Acadia I was just looking at. Acadia also has a 6spd transmission, where the XL7 is 5. As far as synthetic being required, there are a lot of cars out there that require it. It doesn't surprise me being that it's a cadillac based motor that it would require it, but I have yet to find it in writing anywhere.
