The GMC Acadia has been awarded the November 2008 “Editor's Choice Award” from Saudi Auto, an automotive magazine in Saudi Arabia. The Acadia picked up the award after a crossover comparative that saw it take on the Hyundai Veracruz, Mazda CX-9 and Honda Pilot. The sporty, spacious and versatile crossover was crowned the champion after successfully overcoming its competitors and was recognized for possessing the best aspects of the class and melding them together intelligently, and with more style than its rivals. Karim Corm, GMC SUV marketing manager in the Middle East, said: “GMC has always projected the professional grade mantra, and with its smooth lines and athletic temperament, the Acadia is everything you would expect from the brand. With its carefully executed details such as athletic overall design, tight tolerances, tailored wheel-to-body relationship, the range of upscale amenities, exciting colors, and select bright trim, the Acadia has a strong and confident presence.”
