I was told buy a friend that the salesman told him the Saturn Vue Redline had a Honda V6 Engine (from the Honda Oddysey) is this true?

yes, GM and Honda made a deal to swap engines. The VUE gets the honda V-6 with 240 horses and supposedly Honda will get a GM engine for its large trucks they plan on releasing..

Apparently, it was some sort of swap with some diesel engines overseas. I don't know the validity of this since this came from a Saturn salesperson.

They spoke the truth.

The 250 HP Honda V6 makes for a pretty quick little VUE now. With the VUE Redline, it's quick and actually doesn't handle too bad - like a tall sports wagon.

If this is true I will NEVER buy a Honda truck!!!!!!!

I second that.

the engine is good while the rest of the car fall apart?

gm heavy duty truck engines are among the best in the buisness...this allows gm to save money from developing "high feature" smaller engines and allows honda to save money for r and d for heavy duty engines...i dont think the gm engines will ever make it to the us market though..iimgine the pr nightmare

even the VUE has a HONDA engine ,,, the Red saturn emblem will make the car break down ...... just jk
that is great how that car has Honda engine but kinda pointless putting other manufacturer's engines on their car with their brand names.....
samething on VIBE like how they put toyota matrix engine in them
what is the point ??? it is like telling buyers that they are not capable enough to make their own engines so they had to put other brand's engine into them.... sad

To help that statement, american truck engines (Dodge, Chevy Ford) heavy dutys are THE best in the business. No car company compares.
