I received my 2009 Saturn VUE Hybrid yesterday from the dealership. I was quite surprised when I saw "Hybrid" stickers all over the car. On the front windshield, on the back window and along both sides at the base of the car.

I was told all the Hybrid VUEs will have this. It just looks tacky, like driving a billboard. It's a bit misleading on the website. I researched this before ordering the car, and there were no stickers there.

Otherwise the car is nice. The interior looks good. It runs smooth. The steering is very easy while parking. It's the easiest power steering I have used.

This is my company car, so it is free. I know I shouldn't be complaining, but I thought everyone should know what it looks like if you were thinking about buying this car.

I went to the dealership and took a look at the Saturn Vue, but it did not appeal to me; I thought it looked too boxy (not enough aerodynamics), unlike the RAV4.

I have a 2004 Saturn Vue and have been very pleased with its performance. As such, I am in the market for a newer model. However, I do not like the "new look" of the Saturn Vue and prefer the original design. Why did Saturn think they had to drastically alter the original design so much? The new design is too boxy and quite frankly I may go with another manufacturer altogether because of this look.
Is anyone seeing significant gas mileage improvements with their Hybrid?

That is a beautiful VUE! Love the color!
