It's an Equinox with an uglier (yet familiar) face. I thought Pontiac was moving towards better looks. :thumbsdown:

And the Equinox is a Vue! And the Saab 9-4 is an Equinox!

The best part is Buick and Cadillac will both be getting them too at the next redesign.

Saturn Vue --> Chevy Equinox is platform sharing
Chevy Equinox --> Pontiac Torrent is just lazy badge engineering

Platform sharing: Toyota Camry --> Solara, Highlander, RX330, Avalon, etc.
Badge engineering: Chevy Silverado --> GMC Sierra

They aren't changing anything other than the skins.

At least Dodge made the Magnum a wagon 😛

Sorry the VUE doesn't look like the Equinox, not the shell anyway. Equinox is much sportier.
