It can't be good that the first really impressive Vibe concept was also the last. This does not bode well for the future, which I guess is right in line with the model cancelations happening in the next couple of years.

yea, i am kinda disappointed that it was roped off tho as were all the cars in the tuner section but i am pretty sure that its an 03 model bc of how the hood meets the top of the front bumper. i doubt that its worth more than 30k. but i was able to sit in the 40k+ bmw's, benz and a few others. i like the top spoiler and how they over came the issue with the roof rails, i wish the factory offered that

i find difficult to see them bringing out a 03 -04 model to a new car show.they never had the intensions of mamking this gtr. i still love that hood.

Seems like the "brains" at GM (and other car companies) do leave a lot of money on the table. Selling a custom car hood as an option would appear to me to be a no brainer. Also never unfetstood why some selection of premium tires were not offered as an extra cost option.

they mayb a lil dark but the still look ok, some of mine came out fuzzy/ blurred cause there was too much light. i went friday night, i was kinda disappointed, there wasnt a whole lot of concept cars. last yr was my first and i think that it was more of a surprise seeing so many cars. i'll get my pics up asap. the one car that i really liked was the volvo evolve c30, i'm still drooling over the picsedit* i wont make you wait for the c30, so i added a few to an albumhttp://s37.photobucket.com/alb...%2007/i will add the rest of my pics to there and will post once i'm done

philly is not a big show in the grand scheme. Few, if any, concepts will ever make it there.If you wanna see the REAL good stuff, you gotta go to NY.

Looks good.Pittsburgh's show was supposed to start this past Saturday, but was postponed/canceled when a truck they were using to set things up went through the convention center floor.It's normally a 2 week show, a lot of money for Pittsburgh. It's been tentatively rescheduled for the end of April, cut down to a 1 week show.
