I was in the market for a crossover SUV, looking at both the Acura MDX and the GMC Acadia. I took both models out for a test drive with my wife (a current Acura owner), driving the Acura first and then the GMC. I had been leaning toward the GMC because of the lower price for similar features, but was willing to pay more if there was a noticeable difference during the test drive. The salespeople at both locations were nice enough during the test drives, but when I sat down to discuss terms, the Acura salesperson had to excuse himself several times to ask other staff for help in answering some of my questions, while the GMC salesperson had similar knowledge already at hand. With the lower price and (seemingly) more knowledgeable staff, I felt that the GMC was the better choice.
