WATCH THE LA AUTO SHOW VIDEO....THE CEO DISTINCTLY STATES THAT ALTHOUGHT THEY ARE COUSINS THE ENCLAVE IS NOT BUILT ON THE SAME PLATFORM...... :deadhorse:zman said:Actually it is the same platform. Buick added different glass, more sound insulation, etc to make their "Quiet Tuning" but they are all built on the same platform.
They are all the Lambda platform. That is fact, fact, fact. The sheetmetal may be different, the suspensions may be tuned differently, the interiors may be different, but they are indeed the same PLATFORM.

THESE ARE OPINIONS FROM WRITERS....I DIDN'T SEE ANY QUOTES FROM ANYONE FROM GM....AS YOU CAN SEE THE ACADIA AND THE OUTLOOK HAVE THE SAME EXACT BODY STYLE, HENCE, BEING BUILT IN SAME PLANT....THE BODY STYLE OF THE ENCLAVE IS 100% DIFFERENT, HENCE BEING BUILT IN A DIFF PLANT. YOU CAN'T TRUST THE OPINION OF WIKEPEDIA.zman said:They are all the Lambda platform. That is fact, fact, fact.

Whatever. Send an PM to Enclave8j* and ask him. He works for GM. I have a buddy that did the crash work for the platform.
When you find you are wrong I will accept your apology.

NOW, NO WONDER ITS TAKING THEM SO LONG TO GET THAT CAR TO CALIFORNIA....TOO MUCH GOING ON IN ONE PLACE.
Did you know that the Enclave is the quietest car made. It beats every other car - GM, Ford, Honda, Toyota, etc. It will be used in an ad campaign shortly. :blob:
I didn't know that, but I do know that I am extremely pleased with how quiet mine is.
Will notice that I guess on my first test drive coming up on Thursday... can't wait :blob:
G
Quieter than every lexus? every Maybach? Bentley? VERY impressive!!Don Willems said:Did you know that the Enclave is the quietest car made. It beats every other car - GM, Ford, Honda, Toyota, etc. It will be used in an ad campaign shortly. :blob:
Yes this research has been checked and double checked even cleared through GM legal and were OK to use it in our ads! :banana:
that is impressive, i remember when i saw my first maybach aww it was sooo sweet! that is what the people on the apprentice ride around in at least last year they did i havent watched this year
But I do not like the covers on the sun roofs and no Active head rests just in case I forgot to mention that.
while active headrests* minimise the chances of whiplash.
* Only available on CDX and CDX+.
