Saturn VUE

I just thought I would add my 2 cents on the Saturn VUE. I checked it out yesterday at the Austin Auto Show. I really don't think Mazda or Ford will have a problem with loosing sales to Saturn. The styling isn't all that, and the interior is really cheap. The doors have no armrests, or at least one high enough to use and the door is about 2 inches thick. Let's see how good that does in a side impact. Size wise it is similar to the Tribute. However, the interior is full of cheap parts, worse than the Trib, and the "Vue" out is actually worse. It really reminded me of the Hyundai Santa Fe from the driver's seat. The interior's ergonomics were pretty bad, too. There were switches all over the place, but worst of all the power window switches were splayed around the shifter at an odd angle. Since I wasn't planning on waiting for the VUE anyway, I am glad I picked the best mini-ute of the bunch!

I read that earlier this morning. It really didn't say if they liked it or not. They really didn't compare it with others in it's class. My opinion is that the Tribute is still the better buy!

Well an Escape/Tribute owner calling the Vue's interior cheap is somewhat of a moot point if you ask me. <br><br>I think the real test will be how reliable they will be out of the gate and will they suffer the same fate as most Escapes/Tributes.
