Reviewed on March 26, 2008The 2008 Saturn Vue Green Line is the cheapest hybrid SUV you can buy--in more ways than one. We like its revamped exterior and we can live with the spartan cabin, but its gas mileage falls short.TAGS:OnStar, Saturn, direction, navigation, car, map
Reviewed on May 25, 2007Although we aren't crazy about the exterior of the 2007 Chevrolet HHR, we give it credit for making a strong statement. The car is meant for cruising, not for speed, and although it has a full range of tech gear, we don't find OnStar as convenient as onboard systems.TAGS:OnStar, navigation, GPS navigation, direction, operator, car, GPS, radio, San Francisco
Reviewed on May 12, 2008The 2008 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ isn't a driver's car, but offers a comfortable cabin for the daily commute or shopping trips. Its cabin tech is largely unremarkable.TAGS:OnStar, signal, cell phone, call, dashboard, car
Reviewed on July 26, 2007The 2007 Saturn Aura Green Line succeeds in its mission statement of being a cheap hybrid. While its stripped-down cabin disappoints, its entry-level drive train technology delivers decent fuel economy gains over the V-6 gasoline model.TAGS:OnStar, Saturn, journey, direction, car
Reviewed on January 3, 2007Although its dashboard isn't loaded with electronics, the 2007 Saturn Aura is a solid sedan with a decent stereo and has navigation and hands-free calling offered through OnStar.TAGS:Saturn, OnStar, sedan, stereo, car, navigation, engine, MP3 player, MP3, cell phone
Reviewed on March 20, 2006Our criticisms of the 2006 Acura RL are minor compared to all it has to offer. It's marketed as a high-tech car and delivers on all fronts, from live traffic on its navigation screen to cutting-edge driving technology.TAGS:Acura, tire, brake, OnStar, car, mile, coverage
Reviewed on June 23, 2008The 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT lacks the cabin tech for modern entertainment and information. But its saving grace is the usable interior space and the good fuel economy.TAGS:Pontiac, OnStar, car, Los Angeles, direction, subwoofer, engine, MP3, CD
