All I can say is GOOD. Its still disappointing GM didnt capitalize on its stake in Subaru and get in on the AWD tech. There are no mainstream AWD GM vehicles in Chevy/Pontiac/Buick skin. I'm talking G6, Impala, Lucurne etc.

You don't NEED AWD it's something there to make you think you need it. like if you have a GF with D breasts and a guy comes in with a gf who has DDs.

Agreed, I've always thought AWD is overplayed and more complexity when it's not needed. I'm in Central Indiana so we get our fair share of snow as well. My 2wd Fwd 05' GP does just fine.

There are certainly some styling similarities, but the Grand Vitara and Equinox do not share a platform.
