Saturn VUE
The VUE utility vehicle plays a key role in the Saturn line-up. Having been tweaked and modified in 2008, it is still offered in five versions. The XR and Red Line versions are the only ones powered by the 3.6-litre multivalve V6 engine, while the all-wheel drive XE gets a 3.5-litre V6 engine with central camshaft. As for the front-wheel drive XE version, it is powered by a 2.4-litre four-cylinder Ecotec engine, the same used in the hybrid version. Take note that, as of 2009, the Green Line name is replaced by Hybrid. Sometime in 2009, Saturn will introduce the 2-Mode hybrid version.
