Not exactly a tow vehicle, but it does have a tow package option.... :cool

After nearly 10 years of Grand Prix's as company cars, the Saturn VUE AWD is an option for this year.  No optional equipment though.... :(

Anybody own one or have an opinion on them...??  :stupid

I might choose it, just to have a different ride for the next 3 years.... :D

My parents have a 2wd one that's a couple of years old. It has the 250hp v-6. Dad isn't a FWD guy, because of the torque steer, but he likes the way ift run. I think he said that it gets28-32 mpg at about 80 on the road. He bought it because he can tow it behind the motor home........

The one thing about Saturn is that their cars are setup that they can be flat towed. A major plus for motor home travelers!!  As CE said our folks have the Vue  2/wd with the v6.  Runs pretty good they say.  I have heard that the 4 bangers are gutless wonders. AS for the 4 wheel drive. I think there worthless unless you live in Minisota or  North Dakota.  Just my 2 bits worth.  :D

I think that's why the Saturn is a choice this year.  With our HQ in MPLS, lots of folks will be choosing this or the Pontaic....

What the heck....I ain't payin' for it... :cool   and with the AWD, I could take it out in the dirt and chase NT around.... :beat  :laugh
