The '''[[GMC (General Motors division)|GMC]] Acadia''' is a [[crossover SUV]] from GM. The GMC Acadia, [[Buick Enclave]] and [[Saturn Outlook]] share the new [[GM Lambda platform]].  The Acadia went on sale in the United States in December 2006, and in Canada in January, 2007.  The Acadia replaces 3 of the 7/8-passenger vehicles on the [[Pontiac]]-[[Buick]]-GMC dealership network, the [[mid-size]] [[GMC Safari]] [[van]], the long-wheelbase [[GMC Envoy|GMC Envoy XL/XUV]], and the [[Pontiac Montana SV6]] [[minivan]USA Only.

Start off with a brief Introduction to the particular MODEL. Please DO NOT use the same Introduction text from the [[Wikicars:Model Review Template|<MODEL> Review]] page, but rather paraphrase ideas relevant to grasp an overall scope of the [[automobile|vehicle]].  
The Acadia augments GMC with an entry level truck-like [[SUV]] and is the first [[unibody]] vehicle from the marque. It is also GMC's first [[front-wheel drive]] passenger vehicle and GMC's first [[crossover SUV]]. The Acadia features seating for eight, generous interior space, and either front or [[all-wheel drive]]. With a 4,500 lb (2,042 kg) towing capacity, the Acadia slots between the [[Chevrolet Tahoe|Yukon]] and the [[GMC Envoy|Envoy]]. The Acadia is the mid-priced Lambda model between the Outlook and Enclave. GM leads all other automakers in Strategic Vision's Total Quality Index (TQI).<ref> Strategic Vision (2006).

This section should reference points on safety ratings and features of the vehicle.  
Because of the Acadia's car-like build type, it offers a lower center of gravity that will reduce the risk of rollover accidents. Much of the Acadia's structure is reinforced with high-strength steel, including a steel cross-car beam welded across the floor between the B-pillars.
 
The Acadia has six different [[airbag]]s equipped in the vehicle; two dual-stage front air bags for the driver and front passenger, two seat-mounted side-impact air bags in the first row and two head curtain side impact air bags that cover all three seating rows. Similar to the [[Volvo XC90]], the Acadia will have a detection system on-board that will deploy various airbags if a rollover is detected.
 
Additionally, the Acadia has a standard [[OnStar]] system, now in its seventh generation. The new OnStar system now has a feature in which after a crash has been detected, OnStar will be notified so that they can automatically contact necessary emergency services.

In recent months GM has also announced that the Lambda vehicles will replace the Buick Rainier, and then subsequently the GMC Envoy and Chevrolet Trailblazer, as a Chevrolet variant called the Traverse will go on sale sometime in the next two years.<ref>REPORT: Chevy Traverse to join GM's group of Lambda CUVs

The Acadia augments GMC with an entry level truck-like SUV and is the first unibody vehicle from the marque. It is also GMC's first front-wheel drive passenger vehicle and GMC's first crossover SUV. The Acadia features seating for eight, generous interior space, and either front or all-wheel drive. With a 4,500 lb (2,042 kg) towing capacity, the Acadia slots between the Yukon and the Envoy.
