Well, all that changed when I called GM and asked them to provide us with a vehicle to take a road-trip to Detroit for the major North American auto show.<\/p>\n<p>While we asked for a hybrid vehicle (you know, so we can talk about how fuel-efficient it is on a long road-trip and all that geeky stuff), GM came to us with a fully-loaded 2010 GMC Acadia AWD (seeing as we may face some inclement weather during our drive).<\/p>\n<p><strong>First Impression<\/strong>: We love the Lambda platform here at egmCarTech. We recently test-drove a Buick Enclave and have previously driven the Saturn Outlook. Out of all three, the GMC Acadia seems to be the most rugged with better handling and smoother acceleration.<\/p>\n<p>Power comes form a 3.6L SIDI V6 making 288-hp with maximum torque of 270 lb-ft. Mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, EPA estimated fuel-economy comes in at 16\/23 mpg.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing for the 2010 GMC Acadia AWD starts at $42,185. Our test-model is equipped with a $1,000 Technology Package (head-up display, cargo area audio controls, HID headlamps), $1,890 Touch Screen Navigation w\/ Reverse Camera, $1,445 AM\/FM Stereo Dual Play DVD and CD w\/AUX input, $1,400 Power Sunroof with 2nd Row Skylight, $650 for heated and cooled leather seats and $395 Red Jewel Tincoat. That brings final pricing to $49,740.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/egmcartech\"> Tweeting about the 2010 GMC Acadia during our drive to Detroit<\/a>, so keep checking out <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/egmcartech\">our Twitter status<\/a> for updates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: Yes, that is annoying road-salt on the Acadia in the pictures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2010 GMC Acadia AWD (Weekly Test-Drive)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.egmcartech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/2010_gmc_acadia_wtd_images_002.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-48514\" title=\"2010 GMC Acadia AWD (Weekly Test-Drive)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.egmcartech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/2010_gmc_acadia_wtd_images_002-128x84.jpg\" alt=\"2010 GMC Acadia AWD (Weekly Test-Drive)\" width=\"128\" height=\"84\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.egmcartech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/2010_gmc_acadia_wtd_images_004.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-48515\" title=\"2010 GMC Acadia AWD (Weekly Test-Drive)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.egmcartech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/2010_gmc_acadia_wtd_images_004-128x84.jpg\" alt=\"2010 GMC Acadia AWD (Weekly Test-Drive)\" width=\"128\" height=\"84\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.egmcartech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/2010_gmc_acadia_wtd_images_005.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-48516\" title=\"2010 GMC Acadia AWD (Weekly Test-Drive)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.egmcartech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/2010_gmc_acadia_wtd_images_005-128x84.jpg\" alt=\"2010 GMC Acadia AWD (Weekly Test-Drive)\" width=\"128\" height=\"84\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.egmcartech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/2010_gmc_acadia_wtd_images_006.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-48517\" title=\"2010 GMC Acadia AWD (Weekly Test-Drive)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.egmcartech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/2010_gmc_acadia_wtd_images_006-128x84.jpg\" alt=\"2010 GMC Acadia AWD (Weekly Test-Drive)\" width=\"128\" height=\"84\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>All Photos Copyright \u00a9 2009 Omar Rana \u2013 egmCarTech<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211; By: Omar Rana<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/JwHAKgpWKja6RV3tUGinPrfoY0Y\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/JwHAKgpWKja6RV3tUGinPrfoY0Y\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/JwHAKgpWKja6RV3tUGinPrfoY0Y\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/JwHAKgpWKja6RV3tUGinPrfoY0Y\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?a=9ADfbOyb970:MPyfqJPKs3A:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?a=9ADfbOyb970:MPyfqJPKs3A:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?i=9ADfbOyb970:MPyfqJPKs3A:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?a=9ADfbOyb970:MPyfqJPKs3A:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?i=9ADfbOyb970:MPyfqJPKs3A:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?a=9ADfbOyb970:MPyfqJPKs3A:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?a=9ADfbOyb970:MPyfqJPKs3A:TzevzKxY174\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally, when we planned our trip to Michigan for the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, we figured we&#8217;d take a flight out to DTT the night before.
