I share your feeling of not wanting to drive the Acadia because of the poor fuel economy. Not only is the fuel economy an issue, but the 2010 and 2011 Acadias emit black and blue smoke/exhaust on cold start ups. I had this looked at by a GMC district ... Read More

  Hi Ray. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2011 GMC Acadia SL FWD that has an MSRP of $32,715, a capitalized cost of $32,050, a money factor of .00040, and a residual value of 49%, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $464 for 36 months. Unfortunately, you won't be anywhere near $400 per month unless you get a much larger dealer discount. Car_man Host ... Read More

If I was in the market for a 2011 GMC Acadia right now, I personally would shoot for a selling price of $500 to $1,000 over the dealer invoice price that it listed here at Edmunds.com minus the $1,100 cash incentive that General Motors is currently providing on leases of this model through GMAC.
