(As regards going for the car styling, a nod must go to John
Cafaro, executive director, Global Chevrolet Design and
his team. Even though things that are non-cars are selling
exceedingly well—as in the aforementioned Silverado and
Colorado—they didn't go for a "truck" look with the '18
Equinox, which can be contrasted with what Chevy did in
an earlier age: back when it put the Malibu on the Epsilon
platform, which was a tectonic shift in the early '00s, it put a
front end on that car, which was the sixth generation, that was
to harken to the "bold" look of the pickups—which lasted just
two years, because that didn't work out so well.)
One more thing about what Cieslak and his team needed
to address: The Equinox is not just made for places like New
York, Chicago and Los Angeles—it is going to be offered in 115
additional global markets.
