The Enclave comes in either 7 or 8 passenger. He said 6, just to claify that's wrong. Also, the Enclave has been around since 2008, he makes it sound like it's only 2009,10,11. He also should have mentioned that you can get both cloth or leather seats. Other than that, nice review.

thanks for watching and the comments! You're right about the model years. I should have looked at my own videos! I test drove an Acadia in 2008, I was remembering it as an 09' so I was mistaken with the Enclave coming out as a 2009 too, but you're right, it came out in 2007 as a 2008 model.

With seating, you're right again. They can be "8 passenger," but in my test drives of the Lambda platform I have never thought of the 3rd row as 3 passenger and with the 2nd row captain's, it's 6 ;)

@bajabusta yep. Had a baby, got busy! I've done some great vehicles over the last year or so that I didn't get a chance to shoot, hoping to back log a few :)

thanks for checking it out.

I like the Enclave but it is the size of a whale.

I have a 1994 Buick Regal that gets 29 on the highway. Newer Buicks are still not fuel-efficient. Bear in mind that my Buick has a 3.8-liter engine! LOL!

Nice job on the review. I wonder if GM will ever offer a Buick version of the Suburban?

PS - you might bump up the audio level a bit :)

Dear Buick, please make those vents on the hood functional or get rid of them.
