GM FastLane:Introducing the Acadia

[Bruce Nunnally]

By John Larson

General Manager, Buick-Pontiac-GMC

We at GMC got to show off our first crossover vehicle to journalists in Hollywood today. It’s called the Acadia, and for the first time pairs the versatility of a small utility vehicle with the “Professional Grade” standards of GMC.

The 2007 GMC Acadia

Crossovers are the fastest-growing vehicle segment in the U.S., with nearly a million sales last year. And because we expect that number to grow by another million by 2010, General Motors will double the number of our crossover entries by then. Right now, the GMC Acadia is our eighth crossover, joining the Chevy Equinox and HHR, the Pontiac Torrent and Vibe, the Saturn Vue, the Buick Rendezvous and the Cadillac SRX. We believe the Acadia will bring new customers to GMC showrooms.
