2008 Saturn VUE

Whelan · Post by **Whelan** » Fri Jun 29, 2007 4:30 am

Kinda looks like a raised Vibe from this angleAnd just like the other Saturn products, most are direct Opel cousinsand the Redline looks HOT! I always liked the RL VUE and this might be a rendition but it still looks good.

Here is the actual 2008 Vue Red Line production model:

I figured it would at least have had a body kit or something hence I called it a rendition most likely. I do like that though, big mouth bumper, low fenders but still very clean

I really like the looks of this new Vue. They should have renamed it completely though since it looks nothing like the original. I might consider it as a replacement for the Vibe next year.

The more new GM cars I see rollin out the more I am getting closer to possibly switching back to GM since my first two Saturns.

I will probably always stick with GM (GM points, brand loyalty etc). The problem for me is always which one do I want... I'm rather attached to the Vibe so I want something with that type of functionality, but I want a more powerful engine and I just like to have a different car if I'm buying another one. The Saturn Vue looks good from what I've seen. I only just started noticing it this week on TV.

The first photos remind me of the Ford Edge, but then those pics of the Redline remind me of the Vibe autocross concept.

i dont like it personally..especially the front..the back is alright i guess..and it definitly doesnt look like a vibe..or the autocross..vibes look alot better

We have really enjoyed our '06 Vue. Wish that Honda V6 could be grafted into the Vibe.

The Redline looks nice, but the back end is hideous!

As far as those GM points, they don't work at Saturn. I'm not sure why not but I've had 2 Saturns (SL2 and the current Relay) and have not any major problems with any of them. I'm counting myself lucky with the Relay because I've heard some real horror stories about some peoples Relays. The have the Saturn version of the Colonel Panic Vibe, I guess. Anyway, after the Relay lease is up we'll probably buy it or maybe get a 2 year old Outlook but I do like the new Vue, though.Mike

And they show Saturn cars and their redemption allowances for those Saturns... maybe its just in the US its not allowed.

Just bought a new 4 cyl Saturn Vue FWD tonight.....I was able to get almost 5,000$ off sticker for it...so all in all though I love the vibe, you get more of a vehicle for less than a price of my 09 vibe gt alternative.My mom is getting my 06 vibe.....to get rid of our 95 explorer

Kamikaze · Post by **Kamikaze** » Tue May 27, 2008 11:12 am

huh? you're getting rid of the vibe?just after being in the mag... and now bye bye?

TraySeeLea · Post by **TraySeeLea** » Tue May 27, 2008 7:35 pm

I'm not getting rid of it...it is still in the family. Our explorer has like 180k on it....so my parents thought it'd be a nice "grown up" move of me to buy my 1st car...since they bought me my vibe 2 years ago

Kamikaze · Post by **Kamikaze** » Tue May 27, 2008 9:23 pm

Well, I guess it's still in the fam, but you know how that is, it's not the same when it's not in YOUR possession but congrats on the new ride. I think you'll like it just as much if not more than the vibe. Seems like it has a lot of nice features on it.

Congrats on the new ride!

My co-worker got one of these. Nice vehicle, much better ride than I expected. Very smooth.

TraySeeLea · Post by **TraySeeLea** » Wed May 28, 2008 3:06 am

Yeah...I got some features....not all that I wanted, but you have to conform to what they have on the lot essentially. I got a power sunroof, universal remote (garage), remote starter, heated windshield nozzles, automatic windshield rain sensing...only the v6s have the fog lights that come standard so those will have to be an after market thing (though saturn claims you cannot install them later....haha c'mon?!) I would of liked the navigation system...but no saturn dealer has them on their cars...and they claim you can't add that in after market either so...idk whatever.... I pick it up on friday... wee!

You should of went with the XR V6 like I did. The painted body molding is also standard on that. I have everything you have, but I also got the chrome skid plate package, 6 disc CD changer ( I wanted NAV ), they had some on the lot, but not the other things I wanted. The XR also comes standard with the cargo maintnance system. I also picked up the window weather guards, cargo cover, and locking gas cap.But, Congrats on the new ride. I love mine. Almost as much as the Vibe.

Yeah I guess I could of went V6 but...I am not made of money and the gas milage is a little lower with the bigger engine. I don't like the look of the cladding (even though I have it on my vibe)....but I know that it has saved my vibe from a zillion stone chips....

I sat in one at the dealership and it's cramped! I slid the seat all the way back, tilted the seat back a fair amount, raised the steering wheel all the way and my knees were scraping the dashboard and the wheel was digging into my leg. I was really surprised, considering how big it looks on the outside.

Great pics! I love the Saturn Vue. My future FIL just bought a Honda CRV, but I tried so hard to convince him to get the Vue. He's never owned anything but a Pontiac until that Vue...Again, nice ride...

TraySeeLea · Post by **TraySeeLea** » Tue Jun 03, 2008 8:48 am

Thanks....it is kind of an adjustment getting use to a little bit bigger vehicle....cause I've driven my vibe for the last 2 years...but it has been a lot of fun so far

The Vue also felt too big for my liking, but it was a nice car nonetheless.

TraySeeLea · Post by **TraySeeLea** » Wed Jun 04, 2008 9:40 am

yeah i'm still getting use to the size adjustment.I would of stuck with another vibe....a gt...but there are just no deals on them at all....so I couldn't wait around for them
