I have been researching vehicles for over 1.5 years for a replacement for my purchased-new 1992 Isuzu Trooper with over 200K miles and NO major problems. Safety has been primary along with reliability, so at first considered Volvo XC-90 and others; Mercedes, BMW, Toyota, you name it. We have owned Hondas, Toyotas, etc. with no American car purchases since the early 70s. After researching the Enclave, we became really excited. With the exception of rear visibility concerns, here's our main (could be deal-breaking) problem:
How could a designer(s) put two grand canyon-like trenches in the floor to attract crumbs, handbag and camera straps, buttons, loose change, etc., etc.?!!!!!
One Enclave owner in our Iowa town loves the car, but carefully puts old towels on the floor to prevent material from collecting in the trenches there. I have contemplated having a special car carpet made to fit fully on the floor, should we order an Enclave.
Then, I started thinking: Why should I have to have a custom carpet made for a loaded $40,000+ luxury car? GM PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM; IT IS CAUSING US TO HOLD BACK ORDERING THE CAR! CAN SOMEONE FROM GM OR THE DESIGN TEAM PLEASE ADDRESS A SOLUTION! Our Honda van has removable/movable seats with attachment points that still allow the seat to slide forward/back -- is that possible. If not, at least provide some type of brush or cover for the "trenches."
Please respond.
