That car was the 2007 Saturn Vue Green Line, and I managed to find one in a Denver-area car graveyard recently.

Charged EVs

The two body styles parallel the pair of H2 versions sold from 2002 to 2009, when Hummer was one of eight brands offered by GM. The brand died in 2009 as GM declared bankruptcy, restructured with US government backing, and jettisoned not only Hummer but also Pontiac, Saab and Saturn.

Junkyard Find: 2009 Suzuki Equator RWD Crew Cab

The Truth About Cars

Saab dealers were issued rebadged Trailblazers and Subaru Imprezas , because what the hell, and Saturn offered Opels that few wanted. It had dwindled to just the Axiom and Rodeo by 2004, then staggered on for a few more years selling hastily rebadged Chevy Trailblazers and Colorados. Valuable, no.
