The 2-Mode will deliver better power and fuel economy than the Green Line Hybrid, but it will also be priced higher than the Green Line Hybrid.

Whether it's worth waiting for the 2-Mode or popping now for the Green Line depends totally on how much value you place on the added fuel economy and performance. The Green Line achieves about 15 - 20% improvement over the 2.4L Saturn VUE. The 2-Mode is targeting 45 - 50% improvement over the 3.6L V6 Saturn VUE.

Very interesting dilemma for me.. i want to get my mom a different SUV currently she has a 2002 Trailblazer v6 and gets about 16-17mpg average. The thing guzzels gas. She is worried about a 4 cyl and not having any power. I think it's fine for her as she doesn't ever FLOOR the trailblazer.

How is the Air Conditioning in the Green Line? 4cyl
