For 2009, GMC is offering up two SUV models: the Envoy and the Yukon.  Back in 1990, Ford released a vehicle that would offer car-buyers a unique option in the marketplace: the Explorer. The launch of the Explorer re-invigorated the consumer’s passion to have it all: the towing capacity of a pickup truck, the passenger space of a minivan, and a presumably safer mode of transport. The newly coined SUV would enjoy major success for a the better half of a decade, but increasing gas prices coupled with more stringent EPA mandates have left many consumers asking themselves if they really need one, especially since few owners took their SUVs off-road.

Enter the Acadia, GMC’s Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV). A CUV has the look of an SUV with the feel of a sedan, offering better fuel economy, a lower price, and a softer more comfortable ride. The Acadia comes standard with the same 3.6L 275-hp V6 found in the more luxurious Buick Enclave, while also sharing the same platform. GMC is hoping its CUV kicks off the trend Ford started back in 1990.

And with a cost to entry of $29,990 (base), you’d be hard-pressed to find something that can do more with less than the GMC Acadia.
