I'm still disappointed that the Vue Hybrid version, doesn't offer a navigation system, or a AWD version. I might as well buy a Ford Escape Hybrid, or Toyota Highlander. I will get more features than what the 2009 Vue offers. Nobody really care for a bluetooth bulit in to the onstar. I can use my bluetooth headset that connects to my phone. You are still not getting much with the almost $29,000 starting sticker price.

Wow.

The base price of a Ford Escape Hybrid (FWD) is now only $680 more than the VUE. That's hardly any difference at all. I'm sure the VUE has more standard equipment, but the Ford will yield better city and combined mileage.

I love our 2007 hybrid VUE, but one of my favorite features about it was its value. The base price for the '07 was $22,995...several thousand less than the Escape hybrid. Too bad--it's really a nice, simple hybrid system for not much money, but it isn't reflected in the price anymore.

And yes, darnell89, too bad about the lack of AWD and nav system. I guess since it's such a limited production model they kept the options to a minimum. Looks like the base price for the AWD Escape hybrid is $31,780...

Tackepj, I would buy a Vue Hybrid, but the price isn't worth it. Like you said your 07 was about 23,000 vs. the 09's almost $29,000 sticker price. SATURN used to be so cheap on their prices, but now it's way too much for a SATURN. I couldn't see paying that much, when I can get a XE version, even the XE is a bit steep. I would pay what ever the price is for the 2-mode, because it has more options, even though their isn't a AWD option.

(I Can't wait to see the arm and leg price of the 2-mode Vue.)

Get used to it. Vehicle prices for all brands are going up. Compact cars are starting at mid-size prices of just a few years ago. Look at car prices in Europe - that's where we're headed.
