It’s fitting that General Motors has a vehicle named after an astronomical phenomenon that marks the seasons. The first Equinox came from the “old” GM during the autumn of its long slide. Since then, the General has emerged from a government-funded chrysalis, and the Equinox has followed suit with a redesign. Hopefully, the freshening signifies a springtime in GM’s fortunes; a future desperately in need of a green infusion of the cash variety. Its products need to not only compete – but exceed – what’s available from the competition. That figures to be a tall order, because the opposition is in rare form.
Just across town, Ford isn’t sitting around – the Escape gets tweaks and updates seemingly every year. The Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 also crowd the top of the family CUV class, with the Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Santa Fe playing supporting roles. Into this company of A-students wades the Equinox, fresh from reform school. Have the model’s rough edges and troublesome behavior been smoothed out enough by remedial study? Follow the jump to find out.
