Vue / Buick plug-in hybrid killed again?
Vue plug-in hybrid killed twiceEarlier this year I was invited to test drive the dual mode Saturn Vue hybrid, and I was excited. This was the first GM full hybrid that I could at least consider buying. Moreover, the Vue hybrid was destined to become a plug-in hybrid.
Then GM killed the test drive, then the launch of Vue hybrid, and, finally, Saturn altogether.
However, GM recently announced that the Vue hybrid, at least the plug-in version, would live as a new Buick crossover.
Apparently, according to the latest reports, GM has decided to kill this vehicle to due feedback from GM customers.

GM is said to tranfer the Plug-in Vue drive train to another vehicle. A Chevy Vue?
See green.autoblog.com.
I think its all hype from GM who cares? They are way too slow to respond to the market and when they DO, its WAY overpriced.
The shareholders which is US - could have rebuilt 3 GM's from ground up with all new employees for cost we have paid just to date!
GM will continue to loose its ars for at least another 2 years as a socialized experiment in failure.
At what point does GM just cancel itself?
first anon-
well, the reason the design was attacked was because it looked too much like the vue from what i read. critics called it the vuick.
yes, this technology is supposed to get transferred, again. still, originally the saturn vue plug-in hybrid was supposed to launch in 2010, then the date was changed so as not to still thunder from the volt.
to me, all these problems just reinforce the view that GM just isn't clicking on all cylinders.
kp - at the next big gas spike, especially if it happens in the next couple of years.

GM yanking the rug out from another electric car? Gee... they've *NEVER* don't that before!
yeah, you would have thought that maybe they would have thought this through a bit more.
