December 31, 200718 yr A Q&A with Bryan Nesbitt, V-P of Design, GMNA, "Making engineering and design work together," was published by the Boston Globe on December 30, 2007. For me being a Buick fan, he states that right now, he's driving, among others, a "next-generation Enclave." To see the entire article, click here.
December 31, 200718 yr Scary he didn't mention Pontiac in his replies, even after the interviewer mentioned it.
December 31, 200718 yr Author Don't read too much into that. Though I must admit I noticed at the end when he said "next-generation" Enclave and Acadia but didn't mention Outlook. Nah, means nothing.
December 31, 200718 yr I've never heard of the term "Upper Liberal" before, but I guess it makes sense that it's the Saab's base.
December 31, 200718 yr I've never heard of the term "Upper Liberal" before, but I guess it makes sense that it's the Saab's base. Never heard it either..I assume he meant 'upper middle class liberal'. And of course, since it is was a Boston Globe article, he mentioned Saab, since New England has long been a bastion of Saab fandom..
December 31, 200718 yr Don't read too much into that. Though I must admit I noticed at the end when he said "next-generation" Enclave and Acadia but didn't mention Outlook. Nah, means nothing. The NG Enclave, Acadia and Escalade are just what he's driving now.
December 31, 200718 yr The NG Enclave, Acadia and Escalade are just what he's driving now. Seems a bit early for them to have engineering mules for such NG models--aren't they at least 4-5 years away from production?
December 31, 200718 yr Seems a bit early for them to have engineering mules for such NG models--aren't they at least 4-5 years away from production? Thats what I was thinking...
December 31, 200718 yr He doesn't do a very good interview. Why not start on the next generation now. It does seem early to already be test driving them, though with only 3 years between cycles . . .

I'd be surprised to see GM do 3 year cycles, given that their norm is now 4-5 or so..maybe 2-3 years between MCUs, though.
December 31, 200718 yr Seems a bit early for them to have engineering mules for such NG models--aren't they at least 4-5 years away from production? Why not start on it early so they can have more time to make it better by the time it comes out?
December 31, 200718 yr Why not start on it early so they can have more time to make it better by the time it comes out? Definitely starting earlier is better...just surprised they have anything that far along at this point (since the current versions just came out).
