DETROIT, July 9 -- GMC's Acadia - is it the best of General Motors' big crossovers, perhaps even the best of all the big street-utes? We'll figure it out this week at TheCarConnection.com, (http:www.thecarconnection.com).

Drop-dead gorgeous, the Cadillac Sixteen concept car was the hit of the Detroit Auto Show and a hint of Caddy's push into the high-end luxury market.
