August 27, 200817 yr Lambdas get IIHS Top Pick rating Link to Autoblog The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety took some GMC Acadias and smashed them up to see how the big crossovers hold up against immovable objects, and unlike recent tests conducted for the Chevy Equinox and Pontiac Torrent, the news is positive. An AWD Acadia SLE acted as a stand-in for all of the Lambda models - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, Saturn Outlook, and all Acadia trims included. It didn't matter whether the IIHS attacked the front, side, or rear – the CUV earned a "good" rating in all directions. With the standard fitment of Stabilitrak, the IIHS also bestowed a Top Safety Pick crown on GM's big haulers. The Lambas now have both a five-star rating from the NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick designator about which to brag.
August 27, 200817 yr Once again, congratulations to General Motors and its employees for their good work on the Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook!
August 28, 200817 yr Good news... What happend to the Theta Equinox/Torrent? It got a "marginal" rating, because the side structure didn't hold up. On the upside, the Ford Escape and Jeep Patriot/Compass (when equipped with optional torso airbags) did well.

Epsilon will only be around for 1 generation before major revisions... same with Delta. Even though the W-platform & G-Platform are still around, both platforms have received several updates over the years.
