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...

Replying to: stevedebi (Sep 07, 2007 1:54 pm) http://www.toyota.com/highlander/specs.html Scroll down to drivetrain.... FWD is N/A. The escape, though, does come with FWD.

Replying to: dhanley (Sep 07, 2007 3:15 pm) I was going by Edmunds, but I just realized that they were referring to the 2007 model. I'm not surprised that they went to AWD on all models; using electric motors instead of a transmission is very weight-effective, so it doesn't have the MPG penalty of a traditional AWD SUV setup. "The escape, though, does come with FWD." Which goes back to my original point about the Vue not being the only hybrid SUV out there with FWD... |

Hello all, I have an offer of $21,995 plus TT&L for 2007 VUE Greenline. It's a dark blue with comfort package and window tint. $3,000 off MSRP of $24,995. Also, this is an "exchange" vehicle where a previous owner drove it less than 3,000 miles and traded it in (or exchange) for another Saturn. Has anybody heard of this program before? Good thing is that this program lets it qualify for new car financing plus GM's stellar 5 year 100,000 mile powertrain warranty! Also, is $21,995 a fair price for 2007? I know that there's a $3,000 rebates, but it seems like I could ask for more off (even though Saturn is a no-haggle price dealer). Any input would be appreciated.
