Spotted: 2007 Saturn Vue sans disguise

The spies at KGP photography caught the 2007 Saturn Vue undisguised in final testing yesterday. Only a small piece of tape was covering each Saturn badge on the crossover. Engineers were apparently testing the car in full production trim to ensure there were no water leaks. Like many new Saturn products, the Vue is a direct derivative of an Opel offering. In this case, the Vue is based on the Opel Antara. Gallery after the jump… (More Info Here - Continued …)

What's with the Jaguar-style side vents???
Looks nice.

jfnz24 · 09-22-2006, 12:47 PM

Sorry, not liking it.

DuSpinnst · 09-22-2006, 12:52 PM

semi

BTW that's 2008 NOT 2007. 2007's are sitting on lots.

GM_Fanatic · 09-22-2006, 12:55 PM

Looks very elegant. It will look great next to an Aura and Sky. I can't wait for the RL!

darndot · 09-22-2006, 01:05 PM

I like it. To bad I am not in the market for a car.

FightingChance · 09-22-2006, 01:06 PM

I'm very excited about the possibility of the Ecotec 4 mated to a manual - finally, choices!

It does look pretty classy, look better if it were a solid color without that dark plastics.

JDHogfisher · 09-22-2006, 02:38 PM

Whats with the plastic stuff. Look kinda tacky. BOdy color moldings is what it needs. This must be the base model

Meh...

I don't like it that much.

civilzues · 09-22-2006, 03:14 PM

Wow, just think. In 2008, the oldest car will be a 2006 SKY for Saturn. Thats crazy talk.

**BigAls87Z28** · 09-22-2006, 03:21 PM

Its nice, but the tail lights dont match the rest of Saturn, the side vent is different then the rest of Saturn, and the plastic body cladding...just not a fan of it all.

CRBoyd91 · 09-22-2006, 03:33 PM

I don't think that is body cladding. I think it is tape or soemthing.

ElmerMCR · 09-22-2006, 03:35 PM

Don't really care for it. Maybe I was expecting too much..Still, I'd like to see it in person before I knock it down too much.

Sadly I agree with everything you just said. I'm not really getting a good vibe with this VUE.
