A sneak peak at the Saturn Vue plug-in hybrid

A real lithium powered plug-in hybrid from GM?

I wasn't going to post any pictures of GM's plug-in Saturn Vue hybrid until tomorrow, but I have a few extra minutes on my hands. The plug-in hybrid pictured here contains a lithium-ion battery, not a NiMH battery. More important, this exact vehicle is being tested on the track in real world driving conditions.

If the future is lithium, or plug-in hybrid vehicles, then GM is as much in the game as any other automaker. More on this later.
