2007 GMC Acadia
January 10th, 2007
At the end of the year, GMC will be adding one more car and truck hybrid to the crossover craze with its 2007 Acadia. Priced at $29,990 for a front-wheel-drive model and $31,990 for the all-wheel-drive model, the Acadia will go head-to-head with the Ford Edge, Chrysler Pacifica and Toyota Highlander.
The Acadia comes standard with three rows of seats in a 2+2+3 arrangement, though a second-row bench can be ordered in place of the standard captain’s chairs, upping head count to eight. Getting into the third row is said to be eased greatly by the one-handed “Smart Slide” second-row seat feature as well as one huge-ass rear door. GMC says that three adults will fit in the back comfortably, a claim we will judge for ourselves when we get a chance to drive it closer to its launch date.
2007 GMC Sierra
December 22nd, 2006
GMC is one the best-kept secret at General Motors. With the exception of Chevrolet, GMC is GM’s best-selling division. And that is without one passenger car in its line. GMC sells more trucks and sport utility vehicles than Pontiac, Cadillac, Buick, Saturn, Saab or Hummer sells of anything.
But GMC may have trouble keeping itself secret after the launch of its all-new 2007 Sierra full-size pickups. Not only will these trucks be more aerodynamic and fuel efficient, offering better than 20 miles per gallon on the highway, but there will be an all-new Sierra Denali version that could become a breakthrough in the lux-truck category.
2007 GMC Yukon
November 15th, 2006
The 2007 Yukon is GMC’s full-size SUV cousin to the Chevrolet Tahoe that is all-new for 2007. The Yukon was originally called the Jimmy when it debuted and the name was shared with the compact S-15 Jimmy in 1982. The name was changed to Yukon in 1992 and a 4-door version was added in 1995. The 2-door version was eliminated in 1999. The all-new Yukon debuts as a 2007 model in early 2006.
The 2007 GMC Yukon is completely redesigned with new exterior styling, sharper driving feel, more power, improved fuel economy, increased interior refinement and improved interior quietness.
