artdecho : The windows were blacked out so I could not see inside. The vehicle is not all that close to Trailblazer size, closer to the size of the old Blazer. The one pager I got says the vehicle has sliding rear seats and height adjustable cargo shelf (that doubles as a picnic table). Nothing about how flat the seats fold though.   joey : NOX looks like it's worth waiting for. The interior looks better (and more up scale) than the VUE and I think I like the exterior better also. My concerns is the mileage (vs VUE) and the price. If it's comparable to the V6 Escape, we will likely consider it.

I like the trailblazer's styling, I just found it too oversized for the volume of interior space (like most GM products). So I think the NOX looks like a mini-Trailblazer. Hopefully it's unitized-body, so no overweight truck frame rails. Of course with a AWD drive train and the need to strengthen the unitized-floor pan, you have to have a small hump in the floor. I didn't think the CRV had sliding rear seats, but I wouldn't call that feature a deal breaker. The photos have the rear wiper arm mounted to the hatch door so I guess the glass does not open, too bad. Hopefully some more changes will be worked into the design.

I could not see a hump in the one in Chicago. The 'Nox is designed lower to ground than the Trailblazer. It should also be more nimble. It will certainly be an alternative for people who want the space but do not need to tow.

Post #62 I used to work for a Hyundai dealership and the Santa Fe rear wiper was mounted to the body and the rear window still opened so just because the Equinox is like this doesn't mean the window won't open.

I know you said you don't recall seeing Honda problem boards. You obviously haven't visited edmunds discussion boards on Honda. I checked the other day on the Honda CRV and there were over 200 postings on problems alone. Also, a posting to read before buying a CRV.

I don't really need the space or the poor gas mileage a Trailblazer has though it is a nice truck. The Equinox looks more upscale than any truck in the small SUV category and it's also the most aggressive in terms of styling. Flat folding seats would be nice, I don't care about the sliding rear seats though.
#67 of 2239 Comparison by wgr Feb 19, 2003 (1:06 pm)
Anyone know how the Equinox will compare in size and price to the Ford Escape ?

The CRV has been out 6 years now. Only 200 problems is fantastic. If you read some of the posts, there's always a few complaints that every model will have. I have the first '97 model and it's a champ, not a rattle or problem. Complains: Sure, it's slow. There was one minor recall. Let's compare that to the Escape problem tread with thousands of entries. I laughed reading the Liberty problem tread that was started as soon as the car came out! Check out the VUE treads: CVT transmissions are already being replaced. The Free Lander tread has a guy with a new transmission, power window motor failure and dead AC in less then 10K miles!

The 'Nox will be somewhat larger than the Escape.   Price has not been disclosed yet, but reports are the base model will come in at less than 20k US.

wgr : Could not sit in the NOX at the Toronto show, but it certainly looks bigger than the Escape.   joey : The CR-V is a very good compact SUV. My 2 beefs with it are there is no FWD version available in Canada and I'm not crazy about the looks of the new model. Pretty much any other compact SUV looks better to me aside from the Santa FE which is just ugly.
