The highly acclaimed GMC Acadia has added the US Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) Top Safety Pick 2008 to its growing list of accolades. This significant safety award results from the GMC Acadia meeting the Institute's highest rating for performance in its demanding front, side and rear impacts in addition to providing standard Stabilitrak, an advanced electronic stability control system. The IIHS test results also apply to the GMC Acadia's sister vehicles, including the Chevrolet Traverse. “The Acadia aced our front, side, and rear crash tests,” says Institute president Adrian Lund in a press release issued out of Detroit. “While affording buyers state-of-the-art crash protection, the Acadia also includes standard electronic stability control, which safety research shows can help keep drivers out of some crashes altogether.” The GMC Acadia has taken the marketplace by storm one year after its arrival in the Middle East, it is already established among General Motors' top 10 best-sellers in the region, and was last year named “2007 Best Crossover” by Middle East Car magazine.
