A FWD Vue with the HF V-6 gets 17/24 mpg. If the new Equinox is the size of the Edge, it will be a lot bigger than the current Vue.

In the context of the CTS, when the HF V-6 gets direct injection, its mileage goes down.

Maybe the 4 cylinder Equinox will get "27 to 30" highway. I don't see how an Equinox with a 3.6L V-6 will get much better than the current Vue. But here are a few suggestions:

1. You do not need to improve torsional rigidity by 500% every other year.

2. 22" wheels look stupid and weigh a lot.

3. People who buy Equinoxes don't actually go "four wheeling".

Take those tips into consideration, and you can make a CUV that is not a pig.
