I don't think these two vehicles are comparable. Apples to oranges IMHO.
I drove Jeep vehicles for eight years (over half of my driving 'career') and would have loved to buy a JGC. But I probably wouldn't even be able to buy one with leather for the price I paid for my Terrain SLT-2!
Be glad you're an American and can even buy a fully loaded Equinox (assuming you meant LTZ) for 30,000. You'd be hard pressed to get a base model for that here in Canada. Loaded Equinoxes are in the mid-40s here and that's before we add 13% sales tax
