DETROIT - The large crossover GMC Acadia has been on sale for almost a decade will stay a little longer, even after the next generation 2017 model arrives in showrooms this spring.

The decision was largely a fabrication. Production of the new Acadia will be in Spring Hill, Tennessee, where the current Acadia is built with its platform of brothers, the Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse, rather than GM Lansing plant in Michigan .. L enclave and Traverse next generation will be built in Lansing, but should not be put on sale until mid-2017.
GM wants to keep a full production program at the Lansing plant until a new product can fill the empty Acadians.
 
"Given the fact that these sisters will continue their production vehicles, the current Acadia will continue to be built to provide another option for our customers," said Goebel.
 
This will help buyers compare side by side the oldest Acadian model shriveled and 2017, leaving the middle segment. There will be shorter and 7 convert a design to five, six or seven passengers inches.
The enclave of the next generation and Traverse should be built in versions of long platform of the wheelbase of the new Acadia.
