Just a side note, the Enclave, Arcadia, and whatever the Chevy is called all get the same epa rating but that is only because of a loophole that allows GM to not compete with itself. They get to just test one and call the others the same even though they clearly each have different aerodynamics. Same thing with the Ford Flex and it's very different Lincoln brother. I personally think the Enclave has more built in aero that at best you would be trying to march with the Arcadia bit that's too late now.

Edit, I see I'm wrong as far as 2017 is concerned. They just redesigned the Arcadia where you would have to wait till 2018 for the to-do of the Enclave. Assuming no first year growing pains the Arcadia is clearly better for 2017.
