For Vue the Red Line means a special package of optional equipment with the V6 engine and a 5-speed automatic transmission for either FWD or AWD traction. Vue Red Line also has its suspension dropped by an inch, which adds to the look of a slammed and modified vehicle but also reduces the risk of a roll-over. Front struts and shocks in the suspension are tuned for tighter control, and the electric power rack and pinion steering mechanism is recalibrated for a better on-center feel from the wheel.

The smooth exterior package on Vue Red Line brings the look of a custom car in monochromatic theme with unique ground effects added around the lower rim, black air intakes up front with a mesh screen grille in stainless steel and a chrome exhaust tip at the tail, plus painted cast aluminum 18-inch wheels capped by Bridgestone Turanza all-season touring tires.

And there are special paint shades reserved exclusively for Vue Red Line -- Onyx Black, Silver Nickel or Electric Lime.
