	The VUE Green Line's 2.4-liter engine produces 170 horsepower which is a substantial increase from the non-hybrid version of the VUE that has a 2.2-liter engine at 143 horsepower. Coupled with the extra torque provided by the electric motor in power assisted situations, drivers will be ~~very impressed~~ with the VUE Green Line~~'s sporty feel~~.

	The [[Saturn VUE Green Line]] is about to enter the hybrid market this summer with a promise of a 20% gain in fuel economy. Most drivers won't recognize the new hybrid model as any different from the conventionally powered VUE aside from the badge and a few extra components in the engine bay. The mild hybrid system being utilized here is designed for ease of use and low cost to the consumer. Two very important qualities in the minds of [[General Motors Corporation\|General Motors]]. The VUE has come to market as a very approachable option to the first time hybrid buyer and that in itself is a step in the right direction even though more environmentally conscious consumers would refer to it as a baby step.

	The exterior of the VUE Green Line is in most ways no different except for the hybrid badge along the rear of the vehicle. The Green Line does come with some extra standard equipment ~~from~~ the regular model to help distinguish it including anti-lock brakes with traction control, alloy wheels, chrome finish skid plates, body colored door handles and mirrors and lastly a rear spoiler to top it off.
