Lincolns, with their buttons, do it much simpler.

The buttons are not in the Acadia. They're in the smaller Terrain.

Correct. I didn't notice that first. And the Terrain, of course, is more of a Cherokee than a Grand Cherokee competitor.

Back to the new Traverse, it seems to be getting good-to-excellent reviews from several magazines.
