The Buick Enclave was previewed at the 2006 North American International Auto Show , officially as a concept, making it the first Lambda vehicle to be displayed. The first Lambda vehicle on sale will be the 2007 Saturn Outlook , introduced in April at the New York Auto Show , which be followed shortly thereafter by the Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia . Pontiac was originally scheduled to receive a Lambda model, but it was given to GMC as a reward for strong sales. Lambda vehicles will feature minivan-like three-row seating. They will be offered with both V6 and V8 engines. Unlike the similar Theta Crossover SUV s, the Lambdas will offer less ground clearance. The platform has been designed for Front and All-wheel Drive applications. The Lambda platform is very versatile in that it can be made into a very swoopy and svelte design, or a more upright, boxy shape. Lambda vehicles will be produced in the new Delta Township Assembly plant near Lansing, Michigan . Delays in introducing the Lambda vehicles has suspended the start of production at that plant by more than two years from the initial schedule. The Lambda platforms may also spawn a Chi platform for Mid-size Sedan s, to replace the aging W-body . MINIVANS GM will replace the current U-body minivans with new vehicles using the Lambda platform for the 2009 model year. They will reportedly look very different from today's offerings, with one GM insider saying they look "like spaceships". They will have fold-flat seats and other features not currently available on the U-body vans. VEHICLES Future vehicles based on this platform:
