But what about fuel economy? This is an important subject to me and its large displacement V6 can't help the matter much. Still, its estimated fuel consumption is decent at 11.9 L/100 km in the city and 7.8 L/100 km on the highway. I like that.

In the end the VUE Red Line exceeded my expectations on many levels. Now, all it needs is the suspension of the ION Red Line and some seats that hold the back in place and it would be ready to rock and roll. Well, hopefully not roll.
