Default Re: Hybrid Vue Too Much Trouble?
Some of us are watching this brand closely due to the connection with Johnson Controls and the upcoming PHEV Saturn VUE in 2009. The upcoming Volt and well known Prius have been grabbing most of the news about the PHEV version of their vehicle in 2010 but....GM quietly announced a rollout of the PHEV Saturn VUE for late 2009. With Mary Ann Wright (former Ford Escape Hybrid Executive) at the head of Johnson Controls Auto Hybrid division, I'm betting the lithium ion hybrid battery will be ready for the roll out as schedule but will GM still have Saturn at this time?
