from what I'm reading so far... its looking very positive. Maybe GM is pretty serious about hybrids but one quote I did like from the chief engineeer he said
Quote:

"We think we've hit a real balance between technology, fuel economy and price," said Tarnowsky. The Vue Green Line promises to deliver a 20-percent improvement in fuel economy over a standard Vue with a four-cylinder engine. Additionally, the Green Line shaves about 1 second from the 0-to-60-miles per hour time. This added performance and economy can be yours for about $23,000, easily making the Green Line the least expensive hybrid SUV on the market.

and reading the canadian review only shows more signs of sucesss. Hm... things can get very interesting!
i got around 20 km a liter when i drove a civic 5 spd using advanced hypermiler techniques
and now I drive a salvage nwh20 prius that gets almost to 25 km/l with 192,000 km to date.
