This thing was tested by Car & Acura magazine, and they came away with pretty decent numbers.
0-60MPH in 7 sec
0-90MPH in 16 sec
5-60MPH in 7.5 sec
1/4 mile in 15.5 sec @ 89 MPH
Of course the #s for braking and skidpad were a joke, but that's hardly suprising. The new VUE rolls with a Honda 3.5L VTEC V6 and 5AT; same as the MDX. In Saturn application the motor pumps 250HP and 242 lb-ft. And it retails for about $25K. So if one doesn't cringe at the thought of being seen driving a Saturn, I'd say it's quite a bargain. What I do find distressing is its posted 0-60MPH times. Which are in the FX35 territory. Ouch :shock: ! Could that trigger the ****-I-shoulda-gotten-V8 threads now :mrgreen: ?
