Refer to http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/news_press_release,122803.shtml

"DETROIT, June 14, 2007 - Novelis Inc. has been selected by General Motors to supply aluminum sheet for the hood of the 2008 Buick Enclave. Novelis is the world's leading supplier of high performance aluminum sheet for use in automotive applications"

So if GM announced this today, what about the Enclaves and Acadias already made? Doesn't make sense. ???

Maybe they are late in the announcement, or maybe it has been coming from an alternate supplier.

  3. Headlights seem dim--bulb recommendation?

    Body / Exterior
    My headlights seem sort of dim for being HID lights. I recently read that even HID bulbs dim over time, sometime by as much as 25%, which can leave them not putting out as much light as incandescent bulbs. I was driving the other night, and there was a newer Enclave driving ahead of me, and it's...
