Aren't we forgetting about GM's awesome new I-5 engine?
I would think that this would be just awesome in this vehicle. It is just as compact as the V-6...I checked this engine out in a Colorado. And its horsepower and torque are amazing for 5 cylinders.
What do you guys think?

It would be fine if the Equinox were RWD, I think Equinox's engine bay would be way to narrow (Horizontally) to adjust the I-5 two FWD duty, plus a new Trans, its just too much work, the 3.5 is the simplest solution.
