Default Re: Saturn Announces Saturn Vue Hybrid Tax Credit

I'm not so sure the Saturn Vue Hybrid (VueHy?) really addresses the emission part of hybrids. I mean, sure, the MPG is 10% better, but only the CO2 (MPG-based, use less pollute less) emissions will be decreaesd. What about NOx and the like? Any specific clean-engine tech, like the Atkinson-Miller Prius cycle? Anyone help me out here. Will it be a SULEV or better? For ALL states?

I'm of the mindset, you pay less you get less. I feel in buying a Prius you get much more dollar for dollar. My opinion. And I'll have to drive the VueHy to really have a better viewpoint. That's just it, WHEN??
