2006 Buick Enclave

The Buick Enclave is one of three crossovers that GM is building off the same so-called Lambda platform, the GMC Acadia, and the Saturn Outlook. The Buick is the most interesting of the three, with elegant lines and a gorgeous interior, whereas the Saturn and GMC are a little dull to look at, we're told. The Enclave even has portholes in the hood, but they look good here, as opposed to the dorky ones on the current Buick sedans.

The Buick is front- or all-wheel-drive, and power comes from a 270-hp 3.6-liter DOHC V-6, although there will be V-8 option. The GM triplets are larger than most crossovers so they can accommodate a real third-row seat.
