there's an awful lot of buzz floating around regarding boycotting GM...if you're going to buy one of these, at least buy the Equinox as most are made in Ingersoll at the CAMI plant...all Terrain vehicles are made in Mexico.
When you've lost the argument, admit defeat and hit the smite button.

The Equinox has one of the lowest repairs of 12 per 100 in the segment.  Which is unheard of for a new design from any manufacturer.

As someone who supplies parts for GM repairs all day, I call BS on that one.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

i couldn't spend $46k plus tax for this vehicle. SO many more options in the Japanese brands.

I couldn't either, but nobody is spending that...if incentives aren't already here, they will be soon.  The price after two years will make this a pretty attractive used buy if you want bells and whistles for cheap.

We have a good GMC dealership here....I'd think about one if I was already a customer, buying commercial fleets and wanted a good deal on something in this class for personal use.  With my own money though, it would not be high on my list.  There are nicer cars for similar lease payments if I was a short term owner, and more reliable vehicles for less money if I was in it for the long haul.  So I guess it is same old, same old for GM....not a bad product, but the price needs to be right.

The 0% financing on Acadia still didn't sway me from a used Pilot....
