Re: Acadia?

I looked at some Acadia sticker prices today and almost fell over ($36k)! Way too expensive for me! That means the cost is probably around $32-$33k and I would be paying around $27-$28k for one (most likely). Still too big a delta from an Uplander van ($7k??). Not worth it to me.

In my travels I ran into a Pontiac Torrent which looked interesting. Still a little small in the cargo area, but maybe bigger than an Equinox. The seats also didn't look that great. But the sticker was only $24k, which would mean it would probably cost me around $2k less than an Uplander (and with the 3.4L engine and less weight it would get better gas mileage, too). Might have to look into the Torrent a little more...

Haven't seen a Taurus X. I've seen a few Edges, though, and I like them - but I can't use my GM discount on those. Why didn't you consider an Uplander minivan? Sounds like you could've saved yourself another $3k or so. That money buys a lot of "stuff" inside the house...
