Let's hope they don't offer the
NSAP Reliability Package standard on this Equinox.
If the fuel economy is impressive with the 4-cyl., then that will be great. But there are many examples out there now in the automotive world of 4-cyl. crossovers and SUVs that don't get much better fuel economy than V6's, and the few wagons that are out there still trounce the bloated, cladded wagons on stilts that are "CUVs" in the fuel efficiency and handling categories.
All that said, I would have been in the market for an Equinox or Torrent years ago if a moderately techy and fuel efficent 4-banger had been an option from day one. Instead we got a "value" V6 from China with questionable value.
Better late than never.
