Saturn might be dead, but the Vue plug-in is not
On track for 2011In 2008 GM brought a Saturn Vue plug-in hybrid to the North American International Auto Show. Turns out that plug-in hybrid wasn't just some marketing-driven mock-up, but an actual test vehicle that GM had been road testing just days earlier. Everything seemed online for a 2010 launch.
Now Saturn is on the chopping block, however, the Vue plug-in hybrid will not be a casualty of this lost brand. Instead, GM plans to reproduce this hybrid under one of the remaining GM brands.
According to GM this plug-in hybrid will achieve at least twice the city fuel economy of any other conventional SUV.

Crazy. Even after adding plug-in hybrid technology this vehicle will still probably be less fuel efficient than the significantly cheaper Toyota Prius.
Good to know. I am glad that the greener vehicles are not being dumped
