The Vue Red Line is powered by a DOHC 3.6-liter V6 that delivers 250 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 243 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm. The engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. It features a larger and lower front air opening, projector-beam foglamps, spoiler, a lowered suspension and 18-inch alloy wheels.
The Vue Green Line gets an electric motor mated to a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and a four-speed automatic transmission. Saturn said fuel economy numbers for the Green Line will be announced later. GM said it is still "committed to producing a plug-in version of the Vue Green Line," although no date has been set for the introduction of such a version.
What this means to you: More choices on the way, if you're of a mind to buy an '08 Vue.
