my dad called me today and told me to look at it, they have owned saturns since the company existed, and now that is what they want to trade in for. btw, saturns are reliable and fuel efficient, as a daily driver. power lacks on the otherhand, but that can be arranged

I agree with 808 they are under powered and also have relatives that have owned nothing but Saturn since they came out and they do not take care of their cars they just drive them and have had great luck with them my wife's step dad put about 50k on his the first year and had no problems got rid of it because he fell asleep and wrecked it..

Are you sure this isn't based on the Pontiac Solstice, Vauxhall's replacment for the VX220(aka Opel Speedster, which dies at the end of the year) will be based on the Solstice.

i like it.
if its the case where all saturn does is put namebadging and interior pieces then it should be fine- but if GM does its magic on the car- i'd be a little apprehensive. on the other hand the saturn vue has been getting some decent(average) reviews. heres some neat info.
IMHO, as long as they(GM) leave the car alone as much as possible i think it will be a hit... depending on the price.

For 2004 the 3.0 V6 engine was replaced by a 3.5 litre V6 from Honda. The VUE is compact in size and like all previous Saturns it has polymer body panels. A performance orientated Red Line version debuted for 2004 with the 250-hp V6 engine, sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch wheels, and a racy bodykit.
