Replying to: stevedebi (Apr 10, 2006 11:49 am) This is cheaper than the current ToyHonFord (Escape) system because it does not require an additional set of gears to the electric engine.* But that is the point GM is making for the Green Line. They are not claiming the Green Line will get Prius mpgs. Rather, they are saying at almost no cost to the consumer allowing the IRS rebate, the Greenline will return gas mileage closer to a compact car than a compact SUV. I do not see how this is misleading or unfair in any way. I've always seen all bold outside of the title line as shouting as well. To each their own, I suppose. *n.b.: If my understanding is correct, the hybrid Daimler and GM are developing will incorporate the electric engines within the drive train. This should also keep prices somewhat lower than they are now.

Replying to: pisulino (Apr 10, 2006 4:00 pm) Hmmm, GM is claiming it will provide some boost during acceleration, which is a bit more than a basic BAS. It will be interesting to watch this and see how well it works. 10kw is pretty small HP... |

A reporter from a large daily newspaper is looking to speak to current or previous Saturn owners that went to the homecoming events in Springhill, TN sometime around 1994 and 2000. Please provide your daytime contact info to ctalati edmunds.com no later than Friday, October 20, 2006.

Since the VUE Green Line is a brand new vehicle, we'll pretty much be building this group from scratch. I'll be creating some of the basic discussions that we will need, like: New Saturn VUE Green Line Owners -Give Us Your Report Saturn VUE Green Line - Real World MPG Numbers Saturn VUE Green Line Interior & Passenger Comfort Questions Saturn VUE Green Line Tire/Wheel Questions Saturn VUE Green Line Hybrid Engine Issues Saturn VUE Green Line Transmission Questions Saturn VUE Green Line Suspension/Steering Issues Saturn VUE Green Line Driving Tips & Tricks VUE Green Line - A New Hybrid System? Please be sure to check the discussion list on the main Saturn VUE Green Line Hybrid Group page for an appropriate discussion before you post. Being a new vehicle, there certainly could be issues that come up that will be unique and need their own discussions. Please feel free tostart up new discussions as new issues arise. Thanks for your help in getting the Saturn VUE Green Line Hybrid Group off the ground! |

Replying to: pf_flyer (Jan 10, 2006 7:00 am) with Vue Green Line uses an electric motor and nickel-metal hydride battery pack to supplement a 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine with 170 horsepower, this Vue cannot run beyond a few short seconds solely on electric power. Features are improvised like with saturn headlight cover, emblem, hood, etc.

Replying to: chelle26 (Sep 05, 2007 6:52 pm) Sounds like you work for Saturn, or you copied those words off of a Saturn website. In any case, the information is wrong. Both the Toyota Highlander and Ford Escape (both full dual mode "full" hybrids) offer either FWD or AWD.

Replying to: stevedebi (Sep 06, 2007 2:12 pm) Toyota disagrees with you: In any case, the information is wrong. Both the Toyota Highlander and Ford Escape (both full dual mode "full" hybrids) offer either FWD or AWD Perhaps they are saturn employees as well.

Replying to: dhanley (Sep 06, 2007 2:23 pm) Ummm, not sure if you meant to paste in a comment from Toyota? You pasted in my original comment instead. The HH and Escape are both available in FWD models. I almost bought a FWD Escape myself last year...
