#6 of 9 New Vue? by viamede Mar 03, 2007 (10:08 am)
The new Vue does look nice. The downside is that it is even smaller than the old but has become substantially heavier and much heavier than the Rondo. Unless you are waiting for the new Green Vue or the full hybrid Vue next year (I recall)I expect the Vue mileage will be poorer in the new model.

Replying to: csandste (Mar 03, 2007 9:24 am) The new Vue has European roots as the Opel Antara, not Daewoo. The 4-cyl model is a little over 3800 lbs. The V6 is 4100 lbs for FWD and 4300 lbs for AWD. They are really porky for their size (1" longer than a Rondo).   Opel Antara   2008 Saturn Vue Replies to this message: csandste (Mar 03, 2007 2:15 pm)

Replying to: arumage (Mar 03, 2007 10:45 am) http://www.globalinsight.com/SDA/SDADetail7148.htm   The announcement confirms GM's commitment to its South Korean arm as the division has consistently delivered projects on time and under budget. GM is to expand GMDAT's product line-up as well; the unit recently began production of the Daewoo Windstorm (Chevrolet-branded Captiva) cross-utility vehicle (CUV) that will also underpin the European Opel Antera (see South Korea: 7 June 2006:GM Daewoo Launches Captiva SUV). GMDAT will also work to expand its large sedan line-up, working in conjunction with Australia's Holden on the ZETA platform, which underpins the new Commodore and will serve as the platform for a Daewoo product to replace the Statesman, currently imported to South Korea from Australia

It's good to see Saturn having the same relationship to Opel that Vauxhall does. The first gen. plastic cars were OK for their time but the Ion was one of the strangest and (especially the four door) ugliest vehicles ever. I know that the car sold quite well considering and so I'll probably get flamed but Opel stuff looks a lot better IMHO. Too bad the Aura didn't sell better in February.
