Car and Driver Short Take - Vue Green Line
Funny short take on Saturn's new hybrid in my new Car and Driver. It was titled something like "Cheap, and a low price too."
They said "for $22,995 you get three shiney hybrid badges an extra 2-3 mpg, and a weak effort.
Obviously they were less than impressed by the Saturn, and I agree.
Sure it is inexpensive, but for the same money I can get a Rav4 Sport or a CR-V EX and only give up 2-3 mpg highway and 3-4 mpg city.... I suspect less in real world driving. With the arguably higher quality of the Toyota and Honda, I have a feeling you would need to be a big Saturn fan to bite on this one.
If course the image associated with 'three shiney hybrid badges' could make it a huge success as well. Jackass 2 is the number one movie in america right now after all .

BTW, I recently saw a posting for a Camry hybrid taxi. THAT would be an awsome service. Next year they start making or assembling them in Kentucky?
