2018 Chevrolet Equinox is the skinny supermodel of crossovers

The midsize crossover lost some weight and gained some style.

I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.

The front fascia now sports a more modern look, skewing more toward the sleek lines of the Chevy Volt and Cruze. It's a good thing.

The new model is 5 inches shorter at the wheelbase and more than 3 inches shorter overall.

As an added bonus, Chevy's popular crossover lost 400 pounds for the 2018 model year, about 10 percent of last year's weight.

The MyLink infotainment system in the Equinox is one of the easiest to use, with big tiles and intuitive menus.
