GMC CROSSES OVER WITH 2007 ACADIA!

GMC yesterday announced the all-new 2007 Acadia, its first crossover. The Acadia brings a smooth, responsive driving experience, athletic design, a spacious interior and a comprehensive safety package to the fastest-growing vehicle segment in the U.S. “Acadia is a natural extension of the GMC brand,” said John Larson, Pontiac-GMC general manager. “Its combination of smooth, responsive driving traits and SUV versatility embody GMC’s professional grade philosophy. Acadia is a great looking vehicle that will attract customers who’ve never visited a GMC showroom.”

The smooth ride and agile handling come from a four-wheel independent suspension system mounted to a rigid body-frame integral structure. The structure enables a lower center of gravity, while the independent front and rear suspensions, combined with a precise rack-and-pinion steering system, provide sharp and immediate response to driver input.

Acadia’s agility is complemented by responsive performance from a 3.6L V-6 VVT – a high-feature engine with variable valve timing that is designed for good fuel economy, low emissions and exceptional smoothness. It is rated at 267 horsepower (199 kW) and 247 lb.-ft. of torque (335 Nm). The engine is backed by a new, fuel-saving Hydra-Matic 6T75 six-speed automatic transmission.
