Saturn VUE vs. Jeep Patriot (5 of 12)

Both the Saturn VUE and Jeep Patriot are average CUVs struggling for sales in an overcrowded segment. The recently redesigned VUE is a marked improvement over its predecessor and offers a high-performance Red Line version and two hybrids - the VUE Green Line and upcoming VUE 2 Mode Hybrid. While the Patriot lacks choice compared to the VUE, it offers what many buyers have always wanted - an efficient, comfortable Jeep. It's the spiritual successor to the classic Cherokee, and with a brand new interior for 2009, it narrowly wins out over the new VUE.

WINNER: Jeep Patriot

I whole heartily disagree with it... the Patriot is nasty, both inside and out.

VUE FTW!

Yeah, but if there has to be a choice, the Patriot's going away. GM has way too many plans in store for the VUE to put it out to pasture.

But I don't think the Patriot's going anywhere. Chrysler will be consolidated down to the Caravan, Wrangler, Patriot, and Grand Cherokee.

Totally agree with Philip Lane. If the Patriot survives it becomes a badge job of the Vue. If you kill the Caliber and the Compass Belvidere Assembly needs a new product. You can't keep that whole plant complex running on Patriot sales alone. This plant is likely one GM will want to keep but they will need a new product for it.

I'm on the fence with this one. While I can't wait to see the results from the Vue 2-Mode Hybrid, I really like the relatively classic size of the Patriot, especially one with AWD. I'd axe the Caliber & Compass and keep the Patriot. Maybe add a 2-dr version as a small, open-top soft-roader to compliment the Wrangler.
