So, while these may look like nice trucks, people will see a large vehicle and run from it fearing large fuel bills. GM needs to trim some weight off the VUE and spread that platform across other divisions if it wants to succeed.
Not everyone looks at fuel mileage as the most important selling point. Some people just need the larger vehicle and fuel mileage is secondary. Sure it is better to have a truck that gets 20 mpg compared to 12-15mpg but that is not necessarily their biggest concern.
