18 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday July 4, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com 2008 Saturn Vue Continued from Page 16 wheels and very aggressive front and rear spoilers. A hybrid based on the 2.4-litre engine is coming in fall and a twomode hybrid using the 3.6-litre V6 is due in 2008. I mentioned a lot of standard stuff at the top but there are other standard features worth noting like a tire pressure monitoring system. And Vue takes GM's Stabilitrak system one step further by adding trailer sway control. If the Vue senses something you're towing is going out of control, it starts individual wheel braking and engine retardation to keep things in line.

Low, Low K. $ The AWD system is proactive instead of reactive. Instead of starting to shift torque back and forth after grip has been lost, the Vue's system checks wheel speed to see if one or more wheels are slipping. As well it monitors throttle and steering angle. Torque is normally 99 per cent at the front axle but can shift to as much as 80 per cent to the rear. In short, the system comes into play before the wheel(s) start losing grip and it's too late. I drove both the XR and XE with the V6 engines, no fours being available at the test. I didn't detect a lot of power difference between the two, but then, I was cruising country roads at well below the posted limit instead of trying to keep up with the hectic flow of traffic on Highway 401. Interestingly the XR, with its "tap shift" in sequential mode, gets .1L/100 km city/highway better mileage than the automatic because it shifts quicker. Chisholm was nervous because the Vue I was driving was a very early pre-production model, number 19 in fact, off the line. She apologized for a difference in the hue of two parts of the centre console and the look of the webbing used in the seat belts. Honestly, if she hadn't pointed it out, I never would have noticed. It wasn't much of a test of the AWD system, but I did pull off onto a rocky beach along the Lake Huron shore to get some images of the Vue with a summer thunderstorm trying to boil up in the background over the lake. The point here is the AWD systems of today can get vehicles like the Vue in and out of low traction situations where this same truck of a decade ago would have feared to tread. Saturn is evolving even as you read this. A conquest sale is when your vehicle proves more attractive to a buyer than the one he/she owns. The 2007 Aura sedan is currently showing a 38 per cent conquest rate while the full-size Outlook CUV is hitting a full 71 per cent.
