    If there are any...

    Yeah, I know it's an SUV, auto only, blah, blah, blah... Being Hon-duh V6 powered (250HP I believe), does it have potential for a sporty DD? What about the trans reliability? Were they available FWD or just in AWD?

    EDIT - I'm talking 1G ('02-'07)

    No. If you are looking for an appliance it is fine but I wouldn't buy it if you are looking for something sporty.

    They can be had in AWD ( you would think being a Saturn parts slinger I would know for sure) but they aren't too exciting.

    I've noticed there are currently 2 or 3 in my area for sale. For what you are getting, the ones here in Jacksonville seem to be over priced. Basically, from what I've read previously on these boards, 1st gen. Vues are steaming piles. The Honda engine only makes it a FASTER/somewhat more reliable pile. That said, if and I do mean IF, you found one that seemed to be a bargain I do have to admit they are better looking than the NON-Redline Vue.

    Torrent GXP is mostly the same less ugly weve sold several GXPs and Redlines with no real problems except occasional timing chain guide issues

    If you wreck it, may as well buy another car to drive while you wait for GM to make more parts for it. Saturn specific parts have become a real problem already.
