Re: Local review: 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

Nice review. I like the new 'Nox.

But, I like the exterior styling on the outgoing model better though. Just my opinion. The interior is sharp.

Re: Local review: 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

Appropriately positive review, particularly in light of the competitive comparisons to what Honda and Toyota offer. I, for one, like it.

Re: Local review: 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

Another good review.

Those center rear seats have never been comfortable in any vehicle.

I don't care for the nose, in fact I hate it, but it seems pretty darn impressive otherwise.

Re: Local review: 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

Wow... nice nice nice.... we need more people to give subjective reviews like this gentleman does...

The styling of the new Nox is really starting to grow on me... I like it and the whole deal with the sliding rear seat is awesome... I'm glad that they carried over that feature from the previous generation. Not only that, but to hear about the automatic rear hatch and how it can be adjusted... simply awesome!!! I loved the review.

AND IT GETS A 5 MILES PER THE GALLON "BETTER" THAN THE HONDA!!! WOW!!!

That's fantastic. Isn't that even better than the Malibu?

Re: Local review: 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

^Awesome. I would like to check one out to be sure, but it looks to me like GM actually crushed the competition with this one. Good job guys!

Re: Local review: 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

I also agree that they need to stick the new 2.4L motor in the Chevy Malibu, I wonder what the Malibu would get with the new 2.4L and 6 speed combo maybe 35MPG highway.

Re: Local review: 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

I've been waiting to here a revieww on the new 'Nox, because my wife and i are planning to purchase anew one this summer.Good review..very informative. As far as the reviewers gripes, i'm glad to here it didn't shrink in size like the Saturn Vue did. Looks like i will be making a good decision here. I am very happy with my '07 Nox and looking forward to the new one.

Re: Local review: 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

When the video was showing the frontal shots of the nox's competition i had to lol at the rav4 and CR-V. The blandness is so loud.

Re: Local review: 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

great review. The Japanese better be watching their back!
I'd love to see this come down under as a Holden but I imagine it would almost certainly eat into the Captivas strong sales.

Re: Local review: 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

They are pretty sharp in real life!!!!

The advertising should start with a giant 5 superimposed over the car for how much better the gas milage is over the CRV!
