A new Buick Enclave is coming for 2025, and we stumbled upon an engineering mule parked on the streets of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Buick's big three-row may shrink down in size for its third generation, though, as the Enclave prototype we captured appeared to cast a shadow closer to that of the 198.5-inch long Cadillac XT6 than that of the current 204.8-inch Enclave.
