The Chevrolet Equinox 2010 is selling like gangbusters. We went to check to take it for a test drive but the salesperson didn’t have any. That’s unfortunate because, in that empty wasteland of a dealership they the salesperson said 4 or 5 people would come to see it but Chevrolet didn’t allocate any to the area.

(Update 7/19/2010)

For the most part people are still paying almost MSRP. Demand for Chevrolet Equinox remains high for relatively low (well-constrained?) supply.

2LT 4-cylinder with most of the bells and whistles: heated seats, trailer hitch, programmable lift gate. $29,540 near Dayton, OH

1LT $23,400 with backup camera, moon roof, power seats, vehicle interface.
