The 2010 Chevy Equinox has done the full monty and dropped all semblance of camouflage in these first, largely unobscured images of the new Theta platform crossover. The Equinox appears to be missing a few trim panels and manages to be "lane restricted" on the test track, but this is pretty much what we'll be looking at when it debuts. Revel in its inoffensive corporate styling while dreaming of what every small SUV owner desires — partial capability for partial compromise. We have the full spy report below, but we suspect you've already passed out due to a case of the vapours.

We just caught a new prototype for the 2010 Chevy Equinox, undisguised to the point that it looks darn near showroom-ready. An earlier Equinox prototype—photographed in mid-August—dropped the heavy vinyl camouflage, but still had mismatched body panels and a decent dose of graphic tape to partially muddy the waters. With the appearance of this squeaky-clean, unobscured white prototype, we're about as close as we'll get to the 100% finished product until it makes its official bow.
