08 VUEs are in

the redesigned 08 VUEs are now being shipped, my dealer recieved 3 XRs with 3.6L engines in today, i had to prep one for a loaner. honestly i'm not a big fan of the new look, but i don't like most SUVs that curve the roof down in the rear. I do like the interior, stylish and simple. but i didn't find the drivers seat very confertible, but i think the lumbar was set in the wrong spot, it should grow on me, i hope. i drove it for about 1/2 mile to the gas station, for what it was, its very smooth, almost like a AURA(it does have the same engine). my dealer for one won't put it in the showroom or front lot yet. mainly because they want to sell the last of the 07s frist(i think we have 5 left)

I'm not wild about the new look either. I think I'll stick with me '04 VUE Redline a while longer.

I'm thinking of buying the Hybrid. not sure on how it compares to the Ford Escape Hybrid. any input?

Is it true the Vue is now built in Mexico?

If you need AWD, you'll have to go with the Escape/Mariner Hybrid because the VUE Green Line is not available with AWD. 'Sup wit dat?
