EDIT: Shit - his is an Acadia.
I recently bought the wife a 15 Traverse with 40K on it for 27. It's really clean so I pulled the trigger on it. Especially after what my buddy told me. I'm not the guy that buys new shit. I don't even buy new sprayers and those make me money.

Right, that's the Acadia that they shrunk; annoys the shit out of me that they did that as well because it's very nice looking.
The older Traverse is a mini-van; full stop. The new one looks damn nice though.
GM just stepped on their dick in every conceviable fashion here. Don't shrink the Acadia - I'd have bought it. Put a simple 2nd row ****ing bench option in the Traverse and I'd have bought one. And on either of them I'd have bought your stupid full boat 'profit center' model with every bell and whistle because I'm stupid but want things that feel soft.
But don't have your !@#$ing salesman say "well we can get you a nice deal on a Tahoe" because you ****ed up and tried to cut corners during production. If I wanted a Tahoe I'd have bought one of them in the last 7 years because that's how long you've flogged this same platform; the Tahoe is a dinosaur. It's an outdated husk of a behemoth that I don't feel like driving but because they didn't want to take sales from one of their platforms to another, they deliberately ensured that this vehicle could not be optioned the same way as the Tahoe could.
In short - **** 'em. I've tried to buy GM several times now and I'm just done with these goddamn clowns.
