Amidst financial troubles, parent brand General Motors planned to sell Saturn to the Penske Automotive Group in 2009. However, General Motors later announced its intention to shut down the Saturn Corporation after the plan fell through. The Saturn brand will be phased out by 2010, so those interested in a VUE should act sooner rather than later. For a more fuel-efficient option with even more power, consider the Toyota RAV4.
