That's the case for the AURA, I believe. It also depends on region; in the Los Angeles area...

2008 VUE Green Line inventory
Saturn of Santa Monica - 3
Saturn of the Valley - 11
Saturn of Torrance - 3
Saturn of Cerritos - 5
Saturn of Whittier - 6

Interesting... is this for the 2008 or 2007?

The 2008 EPA ratings have been changed to reflect real-world driving, and the 2008 VUE GL gets 25/32 under the new procedure, a bump of 6 MPG in both the city and the highway (non-hybrid VUE 2.4 gets 19/26).

The 2007 GL, on the other hand, only increased MPG by 1 in the city and 2 on the highway with the new procedures, but the power increase from the 2007 non-hybrid 2.2 was indeed significant. It sounds like you're describing the 2007.

I test drove a used '07 on the dealer lot. I like the '07 styling better than the '08 which seems very egg-like to me.

Just got an Email from my local dealer that they have '08 Greenlines in stock.

Decisions, decisions.
