L.A. Show: 2008 Saturn Vue Uncovered

    0 Ratings
    LOS ANGELES — Saturn formally introduced its redesigned Vue crossover vehicle, a model that had been unveiled previously in Europe as the Opel Antara.

    The Saturn variant will be assembled in Mexico and will go on sale in early summer 2007.

    Saturn also said it will market Green Line hybrid and Red Line performance editions of the new Vue during the 2008 model year.

    The base 2008 Vue will feature a 164-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine equipped with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. Uplevel engine choices include a 215-hp 3.5-liter V6 and, on the Red Line version, a 250-hp DOHC 3.6-liter V6. Six-cylinder models will get a six-speed automatic and will be available with optional all-wheel drive.

    Standard safety features include front side airbags and air curtains.

    What this means to you: The next Saturn Vue looks a darn sight more attractive than the boxy original.
