April 23, 200718 yr http://www.saturnfans.com/Cars/Future/2008vuepricing.shtml VUE I4 2WD - $21,395 RAV4 I4 2WD - $21,595 VUE 3.5 AWD - $24,515 RAV4 V6 AWD - $25,030 VUE 3.6 AWD - $26,895 VUE 3.6 FWD - $24,895 RAV4 V6 FWD - $23,620 Pricing seems competitive... I hope it does well.
April 24, 200718 yr not bad. of course you get all the extra poundage with it in a smaller package...
April 24, 200718 yr not bad. of course you get all the extra poundage with it in a smaller package... You don't feel it at all. When you drive even the 215hp XE, its feels swift as hell, even with the weight and the AWD. Seriously, its fast.
April 24, 200718 yr You don't feel it at all. When you drive even the 215hp XE, its feels swift as hell, even with the weight and the AWD. Seriously, its fast. We are still waiting........................ for something from the Michigan returned gentleman.
April 24, 200718 yr Author CR-V LX 2WD: $21,195 VUE equivalent: $21,395 CR-V LX AWD: $22,395 VUE equivalent: $24,515 CR-V EX 2WD: $23,445 VUE equivalent: $22,715 CR-V EX AWD: $24,645 VUE equivalent: $25,835 CR-V EX-L 2WD: $25,395 VUE equivalent: $24,530 CR-V EX-L AWD: $26,595 VUE equivalent: $27,650 CR-V EX-L 2WD + NAV: $27,395 VUE equivalent: $26,705 CR-V EX-L AWD + NAV: $28,595 VUE equivalent: $29,825 2WD CR-Vs are generally more expensive than comparable 2WD VUEs (both with 2.4L I4s), while AWD VUEs are more expensive (by $1,055 to $2,120, depending on trim) than comparable AWD CR-Vs (mandatory V6 on the VUE AWD). CR-V 2WD: 20.4 lb/hp VUE 2WD: 23.3 lb/hp CR-V AWD: 21.1 lb/hp VUE AWD: 20.1 lb/hp (V6) Of course there are some equipment disparities, though I tried to keep them as close as possible. For example, the CR-V gets a rear view camera with the navigation system; the VUE doesn't. The VUE offers OnStar; the CR-V doesn't. LX CR-Vs get 17" steelies, while XE (the trim level I used throughout) VUEs get 16" alloys. EX CR-Vs get 17" alloys. But overall, the VUE is priced neck-and-neck with the CR-V; any differences in performance are accounted by price. MPG-wise, the '08 VUE Green Line will probably be comparable to the regular 2.4 CR-V -- hopefully the BAS system can cancel out the extra 500+ lbs. It should be interesting to see how the GL is priced; the extra cost will probably bring it to CR-V 2WD pricing. Edited April 24, 200718 yr by empowah
April 24, 200718 yr Cool, thanks for the comparo. I don't see any reason why the VUE won't sell huge; it's very competitively priced and I think it could seriously be best-in-class. The interior looks very good.
April 24, 200718 yr Here's my quick, unbiased comparison... Yeah... yep...if anything they have one thing in common...they're both ugly.
April 24, 200718 yr Author yep...if anything they have one thing in common...they're both ugly. The Marmalade owns them all.
April 24, 200718 yr There has been a few on the roads here in Michigan, and they look alot better in person. I wasn't sold on it at the Detroit show..yet. It probably had something to do with the easter egg blue color. But I've seen a few other colors on it and they look quite nice. The tailights still scream generic Japanese to me though.
April 24, 200718 yr You'll get the first two pieces tonight. "that's what she said" (rim shot). new vue will SELL. it looks great (saw it at autoshow) Tell jill we need paddle shifters and 300 hp on the outlook! give me an edge/vue 3.6 price comparo. Edited April 24, 200718 yr by regfootball
April 24, 200718 yr Isn't the VUE way smaller? Yes, Vue is small but not too small. Length Vue 180.1 Edge 186.5 Width Vue 72.8 Edge 75.8 Height Vue 67.0 Edge 67.0 Wheelbase Vue 106.6 Edge 111.0 Interior Volume Vue 100 cuft Edge 108 cuft Edited April 24, 200718 yr by smallchevy
