Updates and information about Equinox Owners Club.

Spring 2008 update

It’s time to air this place out for Spring, and bring everyone up to date on the latest gossip about the Chevy Equinox.  Was Paris Hilton seen driving one?  Did Brangelina take one to Malawi?  Does the ‘Nox cost more than an ounce of plutonium?  Is Chevy still building the Equinox, and is anybody buying them?  I had to know, and set off to do some hard-nosed Internet investigating (after a quick stop at eBay to buy a few pounds of chocolate covered gummy bears… now you know my weakness). 

After my shopping interlude, I started my research at a site called CarSeek. I found CarSeek through their full, individual reviews of the 2007 and 2008 Equinox models, and after reading them both, I think the folks at CarSeek covet your ‘Nox!  Reviews of both years’ models were extremely positive, and enough to make any Equinox owner feel 10 IQ points smarter and 15 pounds thinner.  The future of the model seems brighter when independent feedback is so positive.  There are many, many well-written vehicle reviews on the CarSeek site, and I want you to know that it’s okay to look at pictures of a Saab or a Toyota while reading about things like “aerodynamic headlights”.  It’s not cheating on your Equinox to educate yourself about other types of vehicles, and it’s normal to be curious.  I think it’s even acceptable to ask for a quote on another model of car without hurting your ‘Nox’s feelings, but that’s a delicate issue between you and your car.  If you did decide to price a cute little Mazda Miata, you can request a quote on CarSeek.com and it will come to you in email.  I asked for a quote on a 2008 Equinox LTZ, and I had first email contact in literally 30 seconds, and a full quote is supposed to arrive within a couple of hours.  Whoosh… the Internet tubes are fast today!  I’ll let you know what pricing is like in my part of the country as soon as I have the information.

CarSeek really appeals to my inner-reader, and I spent quite a bit of time enjoying the handy, informative articles about things like self-parking cars.  (It’s cool and it’s creepy).  The site also has an extensive selection of news stories related to the automotive industry, although there are no big news surprises right now.  People are buying fewer cars, and the industry expects fewer profits.  I hope the Equinox is a solid producer for Chevrolet and that it help carry them through the unavoidable financial downturn.  I do wish they’d produce a hybrid Equinox, even if times are slow.  If you need a primer on hybrids, as I did, CarSeek will hook you up.

This kind of turned into a blog entry about CarSeek rather than an entry about Brangelina, for which I apologize.  Seeing as I’ve gone this far, I’d might as well add that CarSeek offers online car insurance quotes and, most importantly, new vehicle car loans (even for those of us who have a few, um, pimples on our financial history).  In short, if you’re looking for a nice bit of reading about all things automotive, stop by CarSeek.com.  Go for the reviews and articles, stay for the financial quotes and the blueberry cheesecake.  It’s a nice way to spend an afternoon, even if you didn’t intend to shop for a new car.
