    Vue makes good sense for families
    By Ron Moorhead
    SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
    Published June 8, 2007

    Basic transportation no longer seems to satisfy most people. The hard
    facts of driving, comfort, safety and fuel economy have been the top
    items on anyone's mind recently. The mere fact that more and more
    owners are looking for value along with the creature comforts is
    reason enough to consider the 2008 Saturn Vue.
    The European-inspired exterior body design is only the precursor
    for what's to come once you slide behind the wheel of the Saturn Vue.
    Working with General Motors' European arm, Opel, Saturn has developed
    a vehicle that is nearly everything to all people as long as you want
    a crossover vehicle with plenty of room and has more safety features
    then ever before.
    The new exterior design is sleek and contemporary. The front end
    is accented by a bright chrome grille, contoured front bumper and an
    attractive, functional air intake opening in the lower fascia. Large
    gills inserted behind the front wheel add to the Euro styling. It is
    this combination with all these facets that lend to new attractive
    look for the new Vue.
    Our emotions are certainly important when considering our next set
    of wheels, but practicality most certainly overcomes us so that we can
    get more serious about our families' needs. This is where the new Vue
    shows its virtues. Under the stylish body sits a fully ridged platform
    that is the basis for an incredible number of standard safety features
    incorporated here.
    Keeping passengers safe in an accident is a priority we all strive
    to obtain. However, I think we all agree that is much better to avoid
    an accident if at all possible. With that in mind, Saturn engineers
    have incorporated a bevy of safety innovations that can help us avoid
    accidents in many ways.
    They begin with that rigid platform, which allows engineers to add
    a suspension system that offers both excellent handling
    characteristics along with providing superb ride comfort. This vehicle
    will soak up the irregularities of any bad road while providing the
    fun of a spirited drive down your favorite back road.
    A collection of safety features help the driver remain in control
    even if the unexpected is encountered. Four-wheel anti-lock disc
    brakes bring the vehicle to a quick and sure stop. If a deer happens
    to jump onto the road in front of you, General Motors' StabiliTrak
    electronic stability control will help to keep you in control in an
    emergency lane change.
    Of course, if the unfortunate happens, safety during an accident
    can greatly reduce or even eliminate injury to our loved ones. This is
    where the high-strength steel body structure helps by reducing
    intrusion into the passenger compartment. A collection of air bags
    help reduce injury, all of which are standard equipment on all Vue
    models. These include dual front, dual front side seat air bags as
    well as full head curtain air bags cover the front and rear seats.
    We all enjoy the ability to venture out to do many outdoor
    activities. The Saturn Vue provides a tow package that allows us to
    tow up to 3,500 pounds. This is plenty of capacity to tow a couple of
    personal water craft or motocross bikes. Another feature with the Vue
    is the stabilization system knows when you are towing a load and
    adjusts to help keep control of the vehicle in an emergency situation.
    And for RVers, the Vue can be flat-towed with all four wheels on the
    road, proving it is a true adventurer's vehicle.
    Contemporary styling combined with a comfortable interior and the
    advanced safety features make the Saturn Vue an easy fit into a
    family's active life style.

    So will the next CEO when they bring it back to the US. Big US
    corporations are stupid that way. Their goal is to save money no matter
    what it costs.

    Hi,

    thanks for telling me about the country of origin problem.

    I have a '99 SWP and -was- considering a VUE...

    when I bought my SWP it had one of the highest (if not they highest)
    domestic content.

    but I see that the VUE is an import now.

    I'd just as soon buy a nice used Morris Minor 1000 in the UK.
