For 2004, Saturn has upgraded the cabin, replaced the 3.0-liter V6 with a stronger 3.5-liter V6 supplied by Honda and made a sport-tuned model, called the Red Line, available to enthusiast types.

The new Red Line series from General Motors Performance Division is literally out of this world; particularly since it belongs to Saturn.
Vue Red Line Gets Raves
Hurray for Saturn! Although the previous Vue, a 2003 model, was OK, it was nothing special when compared to compact SUVs from Ford, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai and Kia. But the 2004 Vue "Red Line" model changes everything, and is truly something to rave about.

VUE Vehicle Overview
Late in 2001, Saturn entered the sport utility vehicle arena with its Vue, which was compact in size and intended to be carlike in personality. One special technological touch was a gearless continuously variable transmission (CVT).
