Thumbs up 2010 Chevy Equinox

Looks excellent Nothing like the Vue, this is platform sharing done right.

Impressive MPG numbers from the new 2.4L, 21 city 30hwy for the FWD

The more I look at it, the more I like it. My wife may be in the market for a new car next year, and that might be the ticket.

I also see some hints of Cadillac and 2010 Camaro styling in there.

This looks to be one great step forward for Chevrolet.

Looks like they took a lot of design cues from the Traverse and Acadia.

very nice.

A bit heavy and longer then I would have liked.

How about a 3.6L DI option. 5000 DA kinda huts the power

Wow, that's... quite nice! The interior looks great, the styling is wonderful for a two-box SUV, and I'm very impressed with the claimed fuel economy numbers.

Holy moly, I know what vehicle I'm recommending for my business partner when her Chrysler 300 lease is up. This--with the DI 4-cylinder.

About the same length as a Ford Edge, Mazda CX-7 or Toyota 4 Runner/Highlander yet is lighter than them

Equinox = Edge
HHR = Escape (both around 175")

3.6L DI should be going in the Cadillac SRX

I guess the real question is...will GM be around in 2010 to release it?

Styling is great inside and out. I hope the people who are looking at a Toyota or Honda take a serious look at Chevy's offering.
