Isn’t the Buick the same car as the Saturn Outlook?? I know there has been some issues with them. I would go with the nissan. It is smaller, better built, and probably more reliable than the Buick. ---

both are nice, enclave/acadia is a great choice for a domestic, one of the few i’d consider myself. i’ve always loved muranos though and i think the new ones are nice, i like the different look it has, sort of space-ship like. you should have them check out acuras too, mdx/rdx. i’d pick the rdx before either of those two. it is a little smaller though so maybe mdx would be a little more suitable. however fully loaded you can pick one up in the mid 30s i think. ---

Id go for the murano, Import resale value will hold alot better vs then enclave. Do they see themselves switchin cars again in a few years? Do they want to get a little more for their money in the end when/ if they do trade it in? Im not sure of the buick familys relibility, but IMO anything domestic ive purchased has been a headache in one way or another (ive had ford, chevy and olds). With nissan ive had very minor problems over the last 4 years and its worth more to me to have the peace of mind knowin that shit wont break. ---

I personally like the Enclave better. CVT FTL!. GM did a really good job building this car, its on par or above Caddys. Just doesnt have the name or the price. ---

I priced out an MDX fully loaded and it’s close to 50 grand. SO that is a no-go. plus my dad isn’t too crazy about the styling… the murano is CVT? danm, I didn;t know…fuck that. ---
