High fuel costs, its affordability save Saturn Ion
PurdueGuy replied to Flybrian's topic in Heritage Marques
It's a good call. a) Saturn needs a small car. Saturn was CREATED for small cars! lol b) The Ion is a solid car, especially for the money. -
Well, the 2.4L is rather underpowered for reviewers expecting a sports car (gee, why would they think that?). Just wait for Sky Red Line reviews, when they all say
-
A nice review.
-
Could be neat, but somehow I doubt we'd see it in that ol' Daewoo...
-
I agree that the plastic bumpers need to go. At least they line up right, unlike on the original vue, where the plastic suddenly ends at the doors.
-
Good grief - get over it. At least they color matched it, and it's not just plain black.
-
One thing that stood out a bit to me - it's getting a little smaller. That's rather unusual - so often vehicles increase just a bit in size with each redesign. Glad to see they're staying true to it being a small SUV. Last thing it needs to do is bloat. It's already impressivly efficient for an SUV, maybe it'll even get a little better?
-
Heck of a lot better than seeing (usually dirty) black metal behind the hubs. Blech.
-
I think the radio looks fine - at least it matches the surrounding color.
-
If those are wheel covers, then why can you see the calipers through them? Is it like what frogger said and they're starting to shape the steelies?
-
I think I'm glad they're switching to the GM 3.6L V6 instead of using the Honda 3.5L V6. The Honda engine is good, but it just seems odd to be trying to be competition for companies including Honda, and have their product in ours.
-
Go VUE! Wooooooo!
-
They say it will take days - that's not THAT bad. And prices will never come back down? Seems like I remember last summer when gas prices were at 3.50/gal, and they came back down to 2.70ish for quite a while.
-
We used to have one of those, but ours shut down too.
-
Monk is a great show, and as long as the product placement isn't cheezy, I think it's a great idea.
-
Wonder if the dealer could make a few calls & get a custom order made? Might cost a bit extra? *shrug* Test that customer service! lol
-
Cool.
-
I think it looks decent, though as I was looking at it, I suddenly got a Vibe/Matrix feeling about it. I expect it's bigger, since it's SUV, not compact sport wagon (or whatever they call the Vibe/Matrix), but it has that feel to it...
-
Why is this "new" accessory showing a brush guard on an old-style Vue?
-
No AWDM? lol
-
I think that's great. I'm not a tree-hugger, but manufacturing plants should take this kind of responsability, even if just to protect the community from having to deal with a messy facility.
-
At Cornerstone (music festival I went to a month ago), one of the guys I was camping with kept running around yelling "Tom Cruise, SAVE ME WITH YOUR WITCHCRAFT!!!" My understanding is that it's from this movie? *shrug* It was funny, though... Um. Yeah. Movie looks funny. I should watch it. Yeah. *not sure if any of that was worth posting*
-
The 2.4L with a manual would have no trouble with a mini-trailer like that. I think it'd be a great idea.
-
March will be here before we know it - good to see they aren't sitting on their duffs on this.
-
I can't wait for the Sky RedLine to come out, and read the reviews for it. It seems most of the critics (and buyers) are willing to overlook the impracticality of the car due to its beauty and reasonable performance. Throw a turbo on there, and see what they say...
