All right,
GM's now in the "affordable"
hybrid game. So, how does the company's new
Saturn Vue Green Line Hybrid drive? The Saturn Vue isn't a hybrid in the same way a
Prius is (the electric motor can't drive the
Vue on its own, for example), but the electric side of things does increase
fuel economy (to 27/32 mpg for the SUV). Kicking Tires reviewer David Thomas recently took a Vue for a spin and discovered a quiet ride that felt like driving a standard gasoline-powered SUV. The only things that set the Vue hybrid apart from standard SUVs, he
writes, are two gauges in the dashboard, the charge/assist meter and the "Eco" indicator light.
