Based on prior experience with GM, I'm gun shy.

The fact that the fuel tank looked new after 18 years and the rest of the equipment underneath proved to me that it CAN be done. Rust of that nature and severity needn't happen.
I wish I knew that GM had turned the corner WRT long term quality and durability.

I know what you mean, Saab. We looked at GM vehicles as a bit of an afterthought after we'd seen Honda, Toyota, Nissan, etc. This platform (Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse, and GMC Acadia) has been around for a while now and has been very well-received and very reliable. I was frankly shocked after coming from Japanese and German cars, but the Acadia (especially in the Denali trim) is awesome.
