The new Saturn Vue Green Line is important because it provides better fuel economy for those who must drive SUVs, and does so at a decent price. As GM prepares for the next step in its hybrid strategy, and perhaps leads up to a plug-in Vue sometime in the future, this SUV will help to pave the way. All by itself, however, the Saturn Vue Green Line could be a great car as long as Saturn follows through on its recent trend and builds the thing with quality interior materials and tight construction.
