It turns out that the Astra isn't the only thing GM's Saturn division has up its sleeve for this week's big Windy City show. Visitors to McCormick Place will also get their first eyefuls of the 2008 Vue's performance and hybrid variants.

The '08 Vue Red Line (above) gets a nomenclature update (previously, Saturn used the single-word "Redline" moniker) and a "performance-inspired" new look that's bound to have people talking (that may not necessarily be a good thing). The Red Line's front end is dominated by an enormous air opening below the front bumper, which is bookended by big secondary cutouts that house projector-beam foglights. The center cutout is so large, you'd expect to see an intercooler hiding behind it. Don't look for any forced induction here, though. The Vue Red line has the same powertrain as the Vue XR: GM's 250-horsepower 3.6L VVT V6 matched with a six-speed automatic with a manual-shift mode. Buyers can order it with either FWD or AWD.

I like the look of the redline alot. I just don't think it is going to have any performance backing it up with that awful horsepower/weight ratio.

s-seriesguy · 02-04-2007, 02:38 AM

They look like an overbloated toyota matrix.

mellissam · 02-04-2007, 02:41 AM

Great photos uboys....the Redline looks very hungry! I like the look.

lordkosc · 02-04-2007, 06:57 PM

When does the redline come out? same time as the greenline and base model?

The launches will be stages over the course of the year:
VUE XE and XR = spring 2007
VUE Red Line = 3Q 2007
VUE Green Line = 4Q 2007

They are not my photos.
I just re-posted them large, that's all.

Audialize · 02-05-2007, 01:10 PM

Redline looks like a Mini Outlook with that front fascia. But jeez, no extra performace? come on now. REDLINE!. It does look better than the regular XE/XR vue though. I can picture it in black.

I actually think the redline looks better than whats on the market now, it for sure looks a heck of a lot better than a RAV4, CR-V, Tuscon, or Torrent.

Goooo SATURN!

ALSO! in the redline picture, does it have Projector (polyellipsoidal) head lights? I like them much more than the Reflector headlights on the XE and XR 08 Vue.

OneFastStanza · 02-07-2007, 10:50 PM

Meh I am not a fan of the new bodystyle at all. I think the non-RL looks better than the RL as well.

I have to disagree I think the Rav 4 is far more appealing as far as aesthetics go opposed to the new Vues.

cxc273 · 02-08-2007, 11:51 AM

I personally don't like it. Like someone said earlier, it looks like a bloated Toyota Matrix.

Though some people have said they don't like it, I actually like the body style of Honda's CR-V ... at the very least it is an improvement over the old version.

lordkosc · 02-09-2007, 05:14 AM

Anyone have an idea for the price range of an 08 Vue Redline ? I am hoping to get one for around 26k... is this realistic?

Else I'll get a 08 Vue RX and just live without the sport tuned version.

aat1982 · 02-09-2007, 03:57 PM

Called two saturn dealerships. Both dont have pricing on the 08 vue. This vehicle comes out in a few weeks and they didnt even know. They didnt even know when they were getting them. One said august. Another said September. This is a joke.

Yes.....it is.

Good clean aggressive look for the Red Line. Though I prefer the XR. Note this new Vue will have a wider stance and a more upgraded look than the competition including the expensive imports. It will be a winner with its improved attributes, powertrains, handling characteristics, performance, and what is sure to be a competitive price.

BobbyP · 02-10-2007, 03:46 AM

I'd like to see the 2007 and 2008 side by side in person. I expect some QC problems in the beginning, especially hearing about the problems Buick had with the Rendezvous.
