Heh - funny! Not very nice, but funny.
I wonder if there is an ignore function on this site?  That way we wouldn't have to be bothered by the caps and repeats. 
I'm waiting for my dealer to actually get some of the 2010 models and keep them longer than a day so I can test drive one!
They do seem to be selling pretty well, which I take as a good sign. Lots of good reviews.

I've driven 2 of them both AWD, one a 4 and the other a LTZ with the 6. Both had outstanding feel of quality and a top of the line feel when sitting in it. Plus these are early production cars and they looked great.

If I get one, it will be the LT2 AWD with a 4 engine. How was the power? I live in the foothills and am curious to see how it will do on the inclines. And on the drive to Lake Tahoe 
I've narrowed my options down to the Equinox and the Forrester. Still need to test drive them both and compare but have been waiting for the C4C program. Also curious to see if the manufacturer's add any extra incentives. I'm probably looking at buying in September unless the vouchers start running out, then I'll buy in August.

Power is in the eyes of the beholder. That is the reason I drove the 6 as I feel in AWD it is under powered for hills etc. But there have been a couple others here who were happy with it. The thing I didn't like was at a steady driving speed when I let off the gas it felt like I was downshift maybe a 1/2 gear as instead of coasting like other cars I have driven including the V6 version AWD it slowed down. To me that was a big minus. Can't help with MPG much doing that and I just didn't like it. Maybe it was a fluke with that vehicle. Also I still don't care about the remote. You push a button that sticks out from the side and the key pops out. It isn't a whole key just the part that goes into the ign. switch. I can just see it poping out in my pocket and either polking me or tearing a hole in my pocket over time. It just wasn't well though out.

I posted a GMS price on one of these Equinox Edmunds Forums about a week ago. Look it up and you should be able to come pretty close. The GMS price is a little cheaper than the dealer pays but he does get a rebate on the units he sells at the end of the year which would put it cheaper than GMS.

GMS is usually only for GM employees. It is a little bit below the invoice price the dealer gets but in these trying times there are dealers who are willing to sell at this price to anyone. There has also been a couple times that GM has extended this price to the general public. The dealers invoice will show this price. Being that this is a brand new vehicle that seems to have a lot of people wanting them I don't know how close you can come but at least it gives you something to shoot for. Also remember that the dealer gets a rebate of I hear 3% on all vehicles he sells at either the end of the year or quarterly. So if he sells it to you at his cost he still will get money on it at some point. Also we have to remember, he is in business to make money, not lose money as he has a lot of employees depending on him so offer him a fair price and go from there. Remember one more thing you can buy from any dealer and still take it to your neighborhood dealer for work but don't expect him to step up to the plate and fight for you if something questionable comes up since he will remember you bought elsewhere.
