My wife recently received a 2010 Chevy Equinox as a company car (she got the V6 - personally (and most auto journalists agree) the four cylinder is more than adequate unless you're towing or hauling around Sumo wrestlers.
Anyway, prior to her receiving the vehicle, I thought the CRV was the cat's pyjamas. I've never been a GM fan, but I can honestly say that I would chose the new Equinox over the CRV.
