Same thing for the GM Super Cruise.
As an example, here in Canada, the option for the SC package (plus a few little bells and whistles) on an Acadia is $4055 ($4,662.24 taxes incl), and the trial should be 3 years. In the US, I found $25/month ($15/month if you already have an Onstar service), not sure in Canada, and not sure this info is still valid. Also, you are at the mercy of increases.
For the Traverse, if you wish the Bose audio system, you are forced to take the SuperCruise package at $4325 ($4,972.66 taxes incl). CRAZY!!!!
No way I would ever consider that option. Not sure what people think when buying a vehicle and if they do all the calculations? or only use their emotions while buying. If you get the package and then refuse to pay the subscription afterward, that is a BIG loss in the wallet, and won't provide any extra resale value.
