Re: The VUE forward: 2008 Model

I would definitely trade in my other ICE car for the first manufacturer to produce a PHEV. However, the VUE would only have 10 miles battery range? I need at least 30 for my commute. If I know other manufacturer was comming out with their own PHEV after the Vue, I'd wait for the longer range one.

I'm not sure what the battery-only range would be for a PHEV Vue. I only cited 10 miles as an example because that fits my commute.

I just hope GM actually builds it and that they build it well.

*sigh* Such is life. I also just checked the KBB on my old vehicle and I may have a question or two for my Saturn dealer.

I'm still within my 30 days.

I paid $25,498 for my FEH with the hybrid premium package. That was out the door with title tax and tags. Factoring in my $3000 tax credit brings it to $22,498.00 out the door. There are people that paid more for their 4 cylinder escape...

So yes my FEH cost less than a vue green line. OH and I get 34-36 MPG easily on the open hwy sticking to around 55-62 mph.
