4-1-07/ GM Headquarters:

Today, Rick Wagoner has announced an unanomous decision to cancel all further production of the GMC Acadia.

"With the Saturn Outlook and the upcoming Chevrolet Lambda (called "Criuse," just announced today) on the roads, and GMC being known for a tough-truck brand, it will be pulled from the production line." There is a rumor that a replacement, supposedly more rigid and GMC-like, according to insiders, is expected to debut at the Frankfurt show. Recalls for the Acadia are planned to start Tuesday, along with production halt.

"The idea of pulling the Acadia off the market is probably a good idea, for GMC's sake and its reputation." Bob Lutz includes. "Originally, I thhought the idea was a horrible one, but considering the fact that GMC isn't made for some Ford Edge rival. GMC is a great brand, but having the Outlook copycat in its model range isn't our brightest idea yet, I admit. It needs to be fixed immediately."

The rumored replacement is planned to go on sale early spring 2008.

Nice try. :AH-HA_wink:

[ToniCipriani]

Nice try... when there's an Acadia outside the door right now.

[matt41]

Again, production ENDS TUESDAY. I was actually serious.

[NOS2006]

haha Okay buddy. The girl who rooms three doors down works at the GM Delta Plant. :AH-HA_wink:

*yawn*

This is bad news, Mario. Thanks for giving us this exclusive development here at C&G.

[Flybrian]

Wow. First, the OUTLOOK was shelved, now this...

[matt41]

OK, but in all seriousness, this was an April Fool's Joke, but I added onto it (the 'I'm Serious' part.)

[Casket Demon]

I also saw a rumor from an insider on another website camaro5.com that the Corvette SS is actually just a test bed for the C7 which is scheduled to debut @ the Detriort show next year.

[ocnblu]

MARIO! You were fooling us? Oh man, you had me hook, line and sinker!

[Guest YellowJacket894]

Gotta love that tough love.

[FAPTurbo]

You know... this would have been almost believable if only the spelling were correct. Don't get me started on the grammar.

Had me fooled....

[Satty]

I canceled Pontiac and revived Olds (NOS did a wonderful chop of a Suzuki Forenza for that one) a couple of years ago, before that I introduced a few new Saturn models while killing off a few others and reintroduced the Camaro for 2006. Gotta love April Fool's Day....except some of mine actually had people for a little while.

I remember that, hehehe, had me fooled for real.

I heard from a very "serious" source that the next-gen Acadia will be based on the Kappa platform and will get up to 8,000 mpg... but it doesn't run on gas. It runs on happiness and self-awareness.

On top of that, it will be fashioned after the Flintstones family vehicle from the hit reality television series of the same name.

TOP THAT!

We don't need to top that, Jerry Flint will; be it by article or product, he'll beat or bash it.

[Cadillacfan]

Beat or bash it? You mean like BAM BAM? Jerry Flint.....stone.... It all ties together. creepy.

[NOS2006]

It all ties together. creepy.

I can make it better. Residents of Flint are sometimes called 'Flintstones' and Mariobro's prank was about an '08 Acadia. Coincidentally, in 2008, GM, which was originally established and founded in Flint, is celebrating it's 100th year.

Pretty silly April Fools joke, althought the Acadaia IS too soft and femmy for GMC.

Then again most of todays cars are too soft and vagina-oriented for my tastes,

nevermind unibody "trucks". (pick/ups & suvs)

Hmm, not a fan of things that present the orientation of a vagina? Got something to tell us, Sixty8?

[Cory Wolfe]

Yes, Sixty8... It's okay to get in touch with your inner gay self. :wink:

[aaaantoine]

Dang, I was looking forward to picking up a Chevy Criuse.

Now is that pronounced "Cree-ooze", or is it more like Toyota's hybrid and pronounced "Cree-us"?

Where's 'No Sh*t Sherlock' when I need him?
