GM says Saturn electric Vue may be on the road by '09

FRANKFURT, Germany -- Saturn will put General Motors Corp.'s first plug-in hybrid -- a Vue compact SUV that can run up to 10 miles solely on electricity and switch to an engine for longer trips -- on the road "very quickly," brand general manager Jill Lajdziak said Wednesday, according to the Detroit Free Press.

"In 2009-ish," Lajdziak said.

Hooray for GM's wisdom in choosing SATURN to lead the plug-in, hybrid charge, hopefully beating Toyota and everyone else into this vital market.

In my view, Saturn is the most credible of all the General Motors car divisions and should be GM's choice for the leader of all future hi-tech inovations.
