why would an extra S make it any cooler? it would still have the same motor and trans that it has now. it would have the same appearance package.


Because "super sport" has only been given to certain cars over time, a la fathers Chevelle SS. Still does not change the fact that the car is ugly as heck IMO. Glad wifey enjoys it.

Are you arguing for arguments sake? Learn to read what I said originally. I had never seen or realized that the Equinox came as a Super Sport. While it was still "ugly as heck IMO," it still was "cool" to see that they made an SS version. Now that I know they DON'T, all "cool"-ness has depleted and a sense of douchebaggery has filled that void where "kinda cool" once belonged.

It's like putting Honda emblems on an RSX.

the only douchebaggery is somebody who thinks an SS emblem makes a vehicle "cool" or not. that badge dont really mean anything. it was used and abused forever very few cars ever shouldve had them to begin with. im just pointing out that an SS badge in your eyes made a shitty late 90s early 00s monte carlo cooler just because it had that badge. it was still a p.o.s. if my equinox was labeled a SS it wouldnt look any different or have better performance it would still be the same vehicle it is now.

so yeah normally my vehicle wouldve been an SS but they decided not to be so free with that badge.

GM stated the Equinox Sport was the first vehicle to reflect its more cautious naming standards. Instead of using the Super Sport badge as it had in the past on higher performance vehicles (such as this one), GM opted to reserve the SS nomenclature for special models worthy of its namesake.

I THOUGHT IT WAS COOL THAT I DIDN'T KNOW THEY MADE AN EQUINOX SS AND SAW ONE THE OTHER DAY. THE PROCESS OF SEEING ONE AND FINDING OUT THEY MAKE AN SS WAS "COOL." IT WAS STILL UGLY. IT'S NO LONGER COOL BECAUSE IT WAS FAKE BADGES. NO SS EQUINOX. THE CARS UGLY AS FUCK QUIT ARGUING AND NOT READING WHAT I SAY.

FYI IF THEY MADE AN SS EQUINOX, HOW DO YOU KNOW IT WOULD HAVE ANY OF THE SAME INTERIOR, ENGINE/HEADERS/CAM/INTERIOR/EXTERIOR?

THEY DIDN'T MAKE AN SS EQUINOX, IT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME IF THEY DID.

because they said theirselves that they just named it the sport instead. it fit into what they always called a SS. it has a more powerful motor than the other equinoxs and a 6 speed and it has a little better suspension. and it has an appearance package on it. and youre still saying the SS badge made it cool not any actual upgrades the vehicle has. only the badges.

Please try to validate your purchase more to "idiots" on a gaming forum. They said themselves, that they would save the SS badge for more interesting cars. The Equinox is not interesting; I used to own one, a 4wd LTZ. I thought it was "cool" or "iinteresting" that there was an SS Equinox that I did not know about. Does that make sense? Clearly it doesn't as I've explained it multiple times.
