The Enclave is sweet indeed. We drove one and felt that it was very luxurious and high off of the ground. I think the little digs in the article about the vehicle's tiny details are inconsequential. This vehicle is a real competitor against all those Japanese vehicles that litter the road.

It's almost like they are afraid to say it is a good vehicle. Oh, it is better looking than the other GM Lambdas, and 'possibly' the best looking CUV in the segment. Possibly? The only other CUV in that segment that isn't FUGLY is the Mazda. Good grief. Toyota wouldn't know how to make a good looking truck if its' life depended on it, because - well, people will buy anything with that ugly T on the hood.

Still, I guess we need to accept the (reluctant) good press when it comes.

Wow, they're right. The steering wheel wood trim isn't the same as the rest of the interior wood trim. Bad Buick!

The complaints about the same radio/climate controls as GMC and Saturn are somewhat picky, but I can't disagree that it would be nice if each DIVISION had their own radio/climate control units instead of each platform. Cadillac has usually had premium radios, and GM either has to have a really nice radio in a Chevrolet so the same is acceptable in a Buick, or an acceptable radio in a Chevrolet that is too budget-feeling for a Buick.
