It's also very helpful that these numbers are reached with regular octane fuel rather than the premium type other high-performance engines need, since that will save the driver about 10-15 cents a litre.
With that kind of grunt on tap, it's helpful that the engineering gnomes at Saturn also tightened up the Red Line's ride and handling package to keep things from getting more exciting than they need to be in moments of excessive fun, if you know what I mean.
The Vue Red Line's stiffened suspension is lowered 26 mm and the vehicle rides on aggressively-styled 18-inch aluminum wheels with P245/50R18 Bridgestone Turanza performance touring tires, a combination that Saturn feels contributes both to sportier handling and a "slammed" appearance.
You can buy the Red Line in front- or all-wheel-drive, but the true performance geek will go with the latter for the extra grip it will deliver in hot driving. On a safety note, it must also be pointed out that all-wheel-drive is also and always a good thing to have in places where bad weather can negatively affect the road surface.
But, really, the Vue Red Line is about the fun you can have in a sport-cute when the opportunity presents itself, and that remains unchanged for the 2006 model year.
