The Saturn version of the two-mode plug-in hybrid at the Milford Proving Grounds. As part of the culling, GM has the option to re-badge vehicles from the non-core brands, such as the Pontiac G8, Opel Insignia and Saturn Vue. It also offers better fuel economy than the M5. by Bill Cooke. Click to enlarge.

NREL simulation results showed similar fuel consumption vs. energy window trends for various drive cycles, with approximately half of the fuel savings being provided by a window ? For the Saturn VUE study, NREL selected off-the-shelf Maxwell 48 V, 165 F modules (each with around 35 Wh usable). Source: Gonder et al. Pesaran, A.;

California Air Resources Board studies show that battery electric vehicles emit at least 67% lower greenhouse gases than gasoline cars -- even more assuming renewables. If we optimistically assume the average US fuel economy is 25 miles per gallon, at $3.00 Using the average U.S. See CalCars-News Archive for updates.

They only have that many models because they use the same chassis and drivetrain to build 3 different cars, one branded as a Chevy, the next a Pontiac, then a Saturn, etc. If no one wants your car (because people think it sucks), then no one will buy it, regardless of how good the fuel economy may or may not be.
