The '''[[Buick]] Enclave''' (and similar '''[[GMC Acadia]]''' and '''[[Saturn Outlook]]''') is a full-size [[crossover SUV]] to be launched for the 2008 model year by the [[Buick]] division of [[General Motors Corporation|General Motors]]. The three vehicles will share the new GM Lambda platform.  The Enclave was previewed at the 2006 North American International Auto Show, officially as a [[concept car]], making it the first Lambda vehicle to be displayed.
 
The Enclave will replace both of Buick's current [[SUV]]s, the minivan-based [[Buick Rendezvous|Rendezvous]], the truck-based [[Buick Rainier|Rainier]], as well as the [[Buick Terraza|Terraza]] minivan. It will feature seating for at least six, and up to eight with a third row with a foot well, generous interior space, and either [[front wheel drive|front-]] or [[all wheel drive|all-wheel drive]].
 
Press reports indicate that the Lambda SUVs will feature available 3-row 8-passenger seating and [[V6 engine]]s. A [[V8 engine]] will also reportedly be offered on the [[GMC (General Motors division)|GMC]] and Buick versions but is unlikely in the [[Saturn (automobile)|Saturn]]. The Lambda vehicles will be built at [[General Motors|GM]]'s new Delta Township Assembly plant near Lansing, Michigan.
