I am 99% sure that the VUE came with a Honda Engine on some of the "higher" performance models. And yes, the Prism and also the Pontiac Vibe came with a Toyota 4 cylinder Engine that was pretty bullet-proof. I traded my '03 Vibe in on my '10 Equinox,m and at 100K miles, the engine was flawless - in fact the whole car was.
