GM plans to launch the Saturn Aura Greenline Hybrid sedan by the end of this year. GM had a low key launch event at the New York International Auto Show for this car. Even though there is only a 20% increase in fuel economy when compared to the Saturn Vue SUV (using the same hybrid tech), this is a giant step for GM. Atleast GM realizes the fact that hybrid sedans are what the savvy car owners want and I give GM credit for stepping up to the plate. People may say that this is not enough, but everyone has to start somewhere, we cannot expect all automakers to come up with Toyota Prius look alike. The main fact is that the folks at
GM realize that hybrids are the future and once demand for these kinds of vehicles grows, supply will increase.
