I'm guessing that's exactly right. I think 001 once said something about 500-600 of the first acadias being preproduction for testing, like the one he drove around. I'd guess same w/ the enclave. He test drove an enclave for 12,000 miles recently.
I'm actually not sure where we started selling production unit VINs for the Enclave. I would guess somewhere around 200...I'm in 007 and have about 10500 miles on it. I put 12000 miles on an Outlook. Thanks for the great chart admin!!!
It's hard to say. I think it's going to depend on whether they start up the third shift at the Lansing Delta plant. With only 2 shifts running, Don told us they can only produce about 17,500 Lambdas/month. If this trend keeps up, they'll be selling in the 17,000 range by June.

The assembly line only moves so fast. Don Willem (a member who works at the plant) said they can produce about 17,520, without overtime. They have to decide how to divide those up between 3 cars now, instead of two. I believe the percentages he gave were
50% Acadia
30% Enclave
20% Outlook
Adding an extra car to the assembly line doesn't change how many they can produce in a given time period.
Let me rephrase the question - which of the three Lambdas do you think will appeal to the consumer more? I would rank them 1 Enclave, 2 Outlook, 3 Acadia. I originally started looking at the Acadia but the red dashboard lighting really was a turnoff. I think the Acadia will have the highest sales in '08. But, I think the Enclave will catch up fast and have higher sales by 2010.
I THINK IT DEPENDS ON WHETHER YOU WANT THE SPORTY/CASUAL LOOK (ACADIA) OR IF YOU WANT THE CLASSY/LUXURY LOOK (ENCLAVE). AS FOR ME, IM GOING FOR THE ENCLAVE FOR A CLASSY/LUXURIOUS LADY :sunny: ;D :angel:
If unique new visitors to a website were any indication, I'd have to say the Enclave is getting more attention right now, based on my forum stats. Obviously, acadiaforum.net gets TON more page views, since it has 8 times the number of users, but I can also keep track of first time unique visitors and enclaveforum.net is currently pulling in THREE times the number of those as the acadiaforum! Now maybe that has something to do with it just about to enter production and getting a lot of press. Still, it's very impressive.

Absolutely! The more members we can get here, the better the information and conversations will be! All I ask is that you guys abide by other forums rules regarding links and try not to spam a site with multiple posts.

I recently read an article where the Buick will be the lowest production vehicle of the three Lambdas. I do remember reading that the Acadia would be about 50%...but maybe the Outlook at 30% and the Enclave at 20%. I'll try to find that article and link it up.
That production schedule doesn't seem to add up. 17500 * 20% = 3,500. With 9,000 preorders waiting for production and 3,500 Enclaves produced each month - GM is extremely behind in production of the Enclave. They really should increase production of the Enclave - at least temporarily.
Hi guys, I was trying to find the USB port, there’s nothing on the dash compartment and neither in the center console, have someone add a USB port with the oem monochromatic radio? (Not the touch Screen) thank you Guys!!!
First time ever that the monthly Buick deliveries exceeded 100,000 in China. Impressive.

As GM is now reporting sales quarterly instead of monthly, the sales figures listed below are comparing 2nd quarter (April to June) 2018 with the same period in 2017. The figures are 2nd quarter 2018 sales, followed by the percentage of increase or decrease compared to last year.
Enclave...
Enclave 4011 up 6.3%
Acadia 11751 up 2.8%
Traverse 15023 up 41.0%
Buick overall up 28% / Buick’s best March since 2004
Of note is the red hot Encore with sales of 15118, up 82.3%, more than half of all Buicks sold were Encores!
Buick crossovers were up 50 percent. It was the Encore’s best...
