Glad you loved the Acadia! What was your favorite feature on it?

I drove the Grand Cherokee...a 2014 actually...the new 8spd they are so proud of pretty much sucks. Very sloppy, lots of hunting for gears. AND, only improved mpg by 1 (on the sticker at least). Also drove a '13 Durango which was nice (V6 and RT). Smaller feeling then the Acadia and lower price, but seats were not as comfy. With the incentives they are giving right now, the R/T is the same price as the V6....which is friggin temping.

Try the new explorer?

My buddy has a traverse for his wife and she loves it. No issues either.

no, didn't test-drive an explorer...kinda like the looks of the acadia better.

My search ended today, signed the lease papers for the acadia. Got a good deal...after I told them I also drove a durango, they magically found a better lease rate and my price dropped $75/mo...to LESS then a durango, even-though the MSRP was higher and there were less incentives on the acadia. Dealers...gotta love 'em.

I was really close to taking the durango R/T...it's a very cool truck, but for a higher payment, insurance & worse mpg, I just couldn't justify it (common sense kicked in )...$$$ needs to go towards a SC for my camaro.

The new Acadias are nice, I love the look of them. My brother recently bought a new Durango and before he bought it I thought they were amazing. Now that I have driven it/ride in it all the time I don't really like it.

Good choice!
