2011 was the best sales year yet for the Acadia. No explanations were offered for this surprising statistic, but GMC was happy to talk about the “class-leading fuel economy”, center airbag, and LED headlamps…
The 288-hp direct-injection V6 which debuted in the Traverse continues here in the Acadia, matched to a revised transmission. The “ColorTouch” audio system is standard. The Denali, which reportedly accounts for about one in three Acadias sold, adds a full raft of luxury items to go with its eye-wateringly noveau appearance package

Exterior (and much of the interior) looks just like my 08 SLT except that HUGE snout. Holy s*** that looks awful. It's way too long and I throws off the proportions of the whole front half. Perhaps most won't notice and I hope not because I think it's a great car. 55k on mine and no troubles.
That center airbag looks like an angry Pillsbury Doughboy!
