The Chevrolet Equinox

When I first saw, I thought it was a Trailblazer with OEM Chevrolet Wheels (& that wasn't a really good sight .. kinda) - but it's no surprise to me that I was wrong. I think if you put both cars together, you'd see the resemblance .. unless of course it's just me.
Here's the definition of an Equinox : the time or date (twice each year) at which the sun crosses the celestial equator, when day and night are of equal length (usually happens September 22 and March 20); it's also another term to Equinoctial Point.
I have no idea what this has to do with a car, but that's the name they chose for it and the name that they chose for the Factory Chevrolet Equinox Wheels . The car is classified as a mid-size crossover SUV from Chevy; it's based on GM's Theta unibody platform.
The first generation (which just ended in 2009) is the very first crossover SUV that Chevy has released. Since it's built on the Theta platform, the Equinox resembles e GMC Terrain, Saturn Vue, Pontiac Torrent, and the 2007 Suzuki XL7. The only thing is that both the Equinox and the Torrent are larger than the Vue because they ride on a 112.5 in (2,858 mm) wheelbase - this means that it's 5.9 in (150 mm) longer than the Saturn.

When you buy the vehicle - or if you choose to buy the vehicle - the front wheel drive come standard and the all wheel drive is optional. Unlike some other SUV's that you may have had, the Equinox wasn't designed for serious off-roading like the Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevrolet Trailblazer. When the 2006 model was released (still in the first generation), GM had decided to update the Equinox for the very first time out of all the years it had been released. All GM did was add the GM badges to the to front doors .. but the 2006 Chevrolet Equinox Wheels were pretty nice.
When 2008 came, they decided to release the Equinox Sport. This was the model that had a lower ride height and the new 3.6 DOHC V6 engine. It also had somewhat of a different exterior compared to the regular Equinox : there were 18 inch wheels with a six - speed automatic transmission. You had the option of buying it in either a front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive option. As soon as it was released, GM had released a statement saying that the Equinox Sport "was the first vehicle to reflect its more cautious naming standards."
After this model, there was an LTZ model that was added to the family. This was the one that had the OEM 17 inch chrome cladded alloy wheels with the bright chrome door handles and the bright chrome luggage rack side rail inserts - how much chrome does a car need?! The standard features included heated seats in the front, some leather in the seats, head curtain side impact air bags, and a Pioneer premium seven-speaker audio system.
Wow.
The only thing that I'd worry about is the gas mileage that the car gets. Sure it may have great looking Chevrolet Rims on it, but don't let the wheels confuse you! After having achieved an 18.8 mpg-US (8.0 km/l) in a road test, Edmund's InsideLine had concluded stating, "...our testing didn't come close to achieving the EPA's numbers, even though we're usually within 1 mpg of the EPA combined number. "
Now what do you think about the car?
