Description

Auto reviewers find the all-new 2008 Buick Enclave to be a sleek-looking, smooth-riding SUV with a quiet, accommodating cabin. Road and Track says it prizes sculptural body shapes over truck-inspired toughness -- a design to which it adds a silky-smooth drive train and, to top it off, class-leading cabin quiet. The Enclave shares GM's Lambda platform with the Saturn Outlook and the GMC Acadia, but holds a price premium over both. However, its luxurious interior and sleek styling could have potential owners comparing it to more vaunted competition. The 2008 Buick Enclave is available in two trims: the base CX and the premium CXL. Both trims are available in front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) versions. Comparable Enclaves will run several thousand dollars less than the competition from Lexus. AutoWeek Driving this car, I was surprised every time I remembered the price tag.

There's just enough wood to suggest luxury, just enough polished metal to suggest modernism, and not too much of either one. This is one posh vehicle. I kept thinking, 'This is a Buick? Really?' -- less Mother Proof
