The wife and I looked and drove the 2010 Equinox... I actually liked it and there was a lot of room in the back seat!
I posted a picture of my In-laws Saturn Vue and I hated that thing..
But this thing is pretty nice in comparison despite some similarities!
Drove really nice and the wife is happy about it!

It has a backup camera that pops up in the rear view mirror! Really nice dash and interior!

Didnt think that I would like it but I couldnt talk the wife into a Tahoe!

They only had one left at the dealer and we liked everything about it! They said they had 4 people coming to buy it tomorrow! The funny thing is they wouldnt take a deposit on it!

They cant keep these things in stock... They had 7 come in today 2 that were preordered and 4 that sold before they were delivered!

Looking back now I should have gotten the equinox insted of the trailblazer. Don't get me wrong I love my TB but the equinox seems more roomy.

It's not heaven . . . it's Iowa!
The old lady used to work with a guy who had one. She said it was really nice, but he had some problems with it. Don't know the specifics, but he said he probably wouldn't buy another one. :dunno: **His was a 2006 or so, so the new generation could be different

My mom is starting to almost think about looking at the Buick Enclave which is a Chevy Traverse/GMC Acadia. Probably bigger than you're looking for, but I've heard some good things about them.

My old lady has the Impala and I think sometimes she wishes she'd waited for more of these Crossovers to become mainstream.

We test drove an old-body-style Equinox before we bought our Envoy, didn't like it Eq very much, but we do like the new ones and Traverse's.

Yeah I would like to get a trailblazer and its sad they dont make them!

Yeah I would not buy an OBS Equinox.... I think that they made an amazing transformation between the older Eq's and the newer!

I thought that I would get the Acadia before I would get the traverse but I cant pass up a bowtie...

You know that the sales person told me that the Traverse is actually longer than the Tahoe... Not only that but once you fold down the 3rd row seat there is more cargo space than the tahoe despite the fact that the traverse is not as wide as the Hoe!

I'd wait a year myself. I never buy vehicles in the first year just to let them get bugs worked out. The new ones are way better than the old ones. Same platform, but seems that everything else was redesigned. No more Chinese engine or Japanese transmission.
