I’ve been seeing a lot of mid-00s cars recently and they all have the WORST imitation wood there is. Like they don’t even try. They put real burlwood in my 98 oldsmobile for christ sake, so they’re actually taking steps backward.

Although actually the wood in 2015 GMs is actually good now that I think about it.

I’m truly sympathetic. On the other hand, I’m glad for you that you get a loaner. Not all service departments do that anymore.

Ah, yes I remember my family's Equinox well. No matter how many problems that car had, it just would not die. We got ours in 2005 and had it for 10 years before my sister got in a wreck with it and it was sent to the scrapyard. Still remember the color, it was gold, they don't make gold cars anymore.

Actually turns out the radiator fan is vibrating. They’re going to see if they can refasten the housing vs having to replace the unit.

Because the other loaner car was a Santa Fe and I decided to go for humor today.

That remains to be determined though. Depending on if they don’t need to replace the fan. I’m hoping they’ll come through for me. I’m finding this minor misfortune all to be a little frustrating. For something on an pricy used car i bought just 4 weeks ago to fail. I think it’s just pure misfortune again, but... very wary in general. And this is my first car purchased from a dealership. If this goes south I may stick with my 300 tercels indefinitely -_-

That interior makes me ill. Even more ill when I remember GM’s Economy Car division’s crossover looked like this just a year later.

Kinja'd!!!

The upper dash and door were actually-gasp- squishy to the touch.

Let’s not even talk about the disgusting 3.4 V6 and 4-speed in the Equinox compared to the Vue’s 3.6 and 6-speed.

Yeah make a new one with dr z as your name. I hesitate to upload to YouTube for the same reason! I've got to make a new account.

We have a 05, did they keep that weird fold up table in the hatch area?

I’m confused about the Vue — did it have the MDX power train or not?

The first generation used a Honda 3.5L V6. The second gen used either a GM 3.5 or 3.6 depending on the trim level/drive configuration.

The sides protrude into the cargo space to much & we never use it as a table anyway. Waste of space. Probably made its way over from the Aztek genetics.

Wow that’s crazy. By the way this Equinox has only one cup holder up front and it’s on the floor and very shallow. The hell is up with that?


Kinja'd!!! XJDano > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo

Ours has a fold out dual cup holder built into the armrest. + 2 in the back of center counsel that also folds out.

My center thingie is just a glove box, which creaks a lot... looks like it was used as an ash tray as well. Also has a hand brake.l


Kinja'd!!! XJDano > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo

It folds out the front, not the inside of the arm rest. If you had arm rest down looking at it you wouldn’t see it.
