#18 of 75 Re: One more good reference [stevedebi] by logic1 Feb 16, 2006 (1:16 pm)
Replying to: stevedebi (Feb 16, 2006 1:00 pm) Stopping the engine while vehicle is at idle is a means to conserve fuel. The disadvantage to this type of system is that you notice the engine starting and stopping. The control system for this technology so far has been somewhat crude in comparison to the full hybrid engine startups and for some people it could be annoying.   The Edmunds first drive says starting and stopping the engine is not noticeable.   Otherwise, I think the quote is correct in that the Vue hybrid will probably show the best savings in stop and go driving over highway.

#22 of 75 Exhaust Emissions & Flex Fuel by jagaman Feb 18, 2006 (8:25 pm)
The Green Line Vue sounds like something I would be interested in, but I can't seem to find anything about the exhaust emissions, how do they stack up to CARB's requirements? Do they exceed the 2007 requirements? How do the stack up to the import hybrid emisssions?   Since all California Fuels contain an average of 6% ethanol and E85 would be a delight, but may not happen for awhile how does the Green Line stack up with the Flex Fuels?

#24 of 75 Tax credit by mtena Mar 04, 2006 (8:10 am)
The new Saturn offering would be even more attractive, if it would qualify for the federal tax credit - basically a purchase rebate, off the top of your tax return.   New Tax Incentive for 2006
#25 of 75 saturn dealerships closing by beebee13 Mar 07, 2006 (1:41 pm)
I have a '97 Saturn wagon, and I sure love this little car. My sister recently bought an '05 VUE that is great for her. She recently took it in for its oil change, and was told that out closest dealership is closing. There are two more dealerships a little farther away that are ALSO closing!! Now we will have to go many many miles away if we want to go to a Saturn dealership. Her concern is her warranty... now what does she do?? I don't know if she has the extended or not, but all she was told by Saturn is that each dealership is independently owned, and that she will have to keep looking. Is this information correct?! I can't believe that Saturn would leave their customers high and dry like that! Any information would be greatly helpful. she is considering trading in her Saturn for something else as am I which is sad. We are in Southern California.

#26 of 75 Towable? by lewis54 Mar 19, 2006 (7:52 pm)
I am looking for a vehicle to tow behind my RV. Everything I read says the Saturn is the way to go if you want all 4 wheels on the ground. Will the Hybrid be able to be be towed as easily?

All vehicles of this type will have higher MPG in the city than HWY. The reasoning is that the system engages during breaking,stopping, starting.   So the VUE will be in-line with all others.   Of course it will be a very good purchase should you drive in congested HWYs where you still seat stopped for minutes during rush hours.   Regards Replies to this message: pisulino (Apr 01, 2006 5:42 am) pisulino (Apr 01, 2006 5:55 am)
