All NEW 2008 VUE

The all new 2008 VUE gets a major overhall. Standard with the 2.4-liter ECOTEC I4, the VUE may be upgraded to larger V6. Hybrid versions of the VUE will also be available! This sure does compliment the new styling direction Saturn is taking!

I'd like to see it in black or something.

I was actually able to see the VUE in person in the black. Always love black, can't go wrong with it and it's accented well with the distinctive headlines

There are actually going to be THREE hybrid versions, if things go as planned. First will be a mild hybrid with the same setup as the current Green Line. Then they'll introduce a full, 2-mode hybrid version. After that, they plan to add plug-in capability to the 2-mode hybrid.

very feminine, but "built ford tough" (haha) at the same time. dunno about those sidemirrors..

but the roof rack, wheels, and grille all work well, nice job saturn

These are starting to hit dealers now - my local one has two.

Honestly...while it's still a decent little vehicle...I like the older body style better.

theres a xr model with dual exhaust and if i remember correctly, a 3.5 liter v6 engine thats in the same family with the aura engines. the salesman said that the xr model is rated at around 260-270 hp, then again he is a salesman(i work at a saturn dealership, we have three, i think)
