Silverado SS vs Saturn Vue!?
How messed up is it that the Silverado SS is going to be owned on the streets by a plastic Saturn SUV with HONDA guts
What is SS supposed to stand for anymore anyway?

I don't know how anyone can get excited about a Saturn SUV with a Honda minivan motor? The Vue is perhaps the ugliest SUV on the market. Could they have made its "tupperware" heritage even more obvious? Saturn makes a virtue out of shoddy build quality.
Of course it's easy to gripe about the expensive Silverado SS. What we should keep in mind, though, is that a sub-7 second 0-60 time is awesome for a beast this heavy. Maybe its heading for a sales disaster, but the market demand for expensive trucks never ceases to amaze.

SUV's which I think are harder to look at include:
Aztek, Element, Rendevous, Escape, Tracker, and a host of Japanese SUV's.

Too bad the Honda 3.5L is not going in the Equinox too---alot better then a 3400 (that is unless GM could put their own hi-hp V6 in it---which they can't or wont)

I think that SS stickers for like 40K !
They have a red one up at Mike Hall (Champion Chevrolet) off Highway 6 - nice looking ride, but the $'s are just obscene.
Hmm - how is the Cyclone/Typhoon market these days ?

Whew.. I thought I was the only one that liked it too, especially when comparing it to others in its class.. I didn't get to examine up close, just passed by a couple of them on the highway..
If my gf wanted to get a replacement for her Tracker, we'd be checking out the VUE..

ss = S moked by a S aturn
Actually the Saturn Vue is a nice little SUV. My wife and I have one as well as my Z28 and I really like how well the Vue handles for being an SUV. I also like the fact is has plastic panels like the Camaro that dont ding and will keep it looking good for year to come like my Camaro.
