The best GMC has to offer for families: GMC Acadia

One of GM's (and ours for that matter) hottest selling vehicles continues to be the GMC Acadia. Largely unchanged from its first year in 2007, the 2009 model year offers up some nice new upgrades. This year, the V6 engine receives Direct Injection that allows for more efficient fuel flow, adding to horsepower and throttle response.

Horsepower is up to 288 and torque at 270. But fuel economy is still the same as in last year's model!


Bluetooth is also an option for the 2009 model! As is XM Nav Traffic, which alerts you to upcoming traffic problems BEFORE you get to them. The Acadia is a great family vehicle. A lot of our customers who buy Acadias have small children. New for 2009 is a back-up camera right in the inside rear view mirror!

Bottom line: If you need to carry people and stuff, there is no equal in terms of space, comfort, power, fuel economy and value. They look pretty darn nice too. But don't just take our word for it. Here's what others are saying:
