How does it compare to the competition when it comes to weight and aerodynamics? Its competitor I see more frequently is the Chevy Equinox. On a sidenote, it does surprise me the fact that versions of the Equinox with the 1.5L engine still resort to a 6-speed transmission, while the smaller engine would eventually benefit even more from a 9-speed one with a wider gear-spread than the 2.0L does.
