I never really liked (or disliked) the previous generation Equinox...and it took several test drives versus the competition, and many online owner reviews to convince me that the "new GM" really was new..

I have always been a GM fan. If this Equinox had been my first, I would never have bought another GM vehicle. I have had several Tahoes and Suburbans. All were excellent vehicles.

Whenever someone asks what car I bought, I say a 'Buick Regal GS'. I then get asked, "What are you, 70 years old? My grandpa drives a Buick!" That stigma will last for a while. But trust me, nothing screams "old person" about the GS.
