Guy in Kalamazoo: Any idea of the name of the plant near Kansas City? This doesn't seem to google well, and I'd like more information if I can get it.

Hi Leahbeatle,
I don't think I kept my original note from Saturn Customer Service, but it looks like the Fairfax plant produces the Aura, including the hybrid. I googled "General Motors factory Kansas". The following link shows that GM also makes the Malibu.

FYI, previous online info indicated that Malibu (on the same platform) would also come out with a mild hybrid in early 2007 ... I'm not sure if that's still the case, but a GM source confirmed to me that the 2008 Malibu would be a larger vehicle, slightly larger than the current Impala. I'm not sure at this point whether the 2008 Malibu will actually be a hybrid, either. It may be that GM isn't sure at this point, either. I'm encouraged that you like your Greenline VUE.

If you go to Edmunds.com you can compare all three side-by-side.

The 3.6L V6 that the FWD Saturn VUE Green Line 2-Mode will be attached to was first introduced in the 2003 Cadillac CTS.
Definitely not old engines.
Peace,
Martin
