Vue Green Line is GM's sucker punch toward Toyota. There is absolutely no fault with this hybrid application. It's incredibly smooth and the fuel economy gains are tangible. Unfortunately, the fact that Vue Green Line is still a Vue and suffers all that vehicles other vices is a disappointment. Hopefully the hybrid application will work better in the next-generation 2008 Vue or the upcoming Aura Green Line.

Critics who decry GM's "mild hybrid" system as low-tech may want to spend some time with the Vue Green Line. Elegant is a better descriptor, with the less complicated drivetrain keeping the price of our test truck under $24,000 with the optional leather. In practice the system approaches seemless, and bests the smoothness and drivability of any other 4-cylinder hybrid, including Toyota Prius. And at 26 mpg, Vue Hybrid falls smack in the middle of the 24-29 mpg results we logged with the much pricier Escape and Mariner hybrids. Sadly, the dated Saturn Vue is a lousy platform to showcase this impressive drivetrain. I look forward to driving the upcoming Saturn Aura Green Line which will incorporate the same hybrid system in a much more refined vehicle.
