Re: Yakima rack solution! (meathead333)

This is not the first Yakima that I have installed on a car that I have owned. If you do it properly and use the tools provided, you shouldn't scratch your car up.....if you are careful. I didn't go with the Thule because I don't like their system, it's more expensive and I hear they are harder to i...

Yakima rack solution!

Hi out there, I haven't posted for a while though I do visit quite often. I bought my GT back in August and have been pondering the roof rack problem ever since. Well, I did come up with a solution that enables one to have skis and/or bikes on the car while still being able to use the hatchback. Acc...

Here's my 2 cents..... It's obvious the review was written in a less than objective style. I wouldn't put any stock in it whatsoever. Yes, you do have to push the clutch down all the way to the floor to start it, maybe the reviewer should have adjusted her seat properly before trying to drive the ca...

I haven't pushed mine past 90 yet and was curious to see what it can do. I must say that next to my old car, (95 mercrury tracer wagon with a whoppin 88 hp) this...

Thanks for the reply. I will be turning 30 here in October so I would guess that my rates should be less than what you are paying. I really can't wait for the car to get here. I ordered an abyss GT with the moon and tunes package! Hopefully the insurance doesn't break my bank! Jwnmt

Re: Has anyone seen the new Vibe ads? (d_m_kolb)

I am sure that the ad was designed that way on purpose. Pontiac is trying to get an image across to prospective buyers. The car may not be in the ad that much but it will generate curiosity about the car in general. I my opinion, most GM commercials these days are boring and don't last in my memory....

Hello again, I just saw one of the new ads for the Vibe the other day. It featured some guy who was obviously a DJ or something to that effect loading his gear into his Vibe.

Re: What else did you consider (Fformula88)

I looked at the Saturn Vue and the Aztec (ugh). I didn't bother to look at the WRX because I knew that was the car I would fall in love with (too pricey). I enjoy an active lifestyle and the Vibe GT fit the price and the profile. I do really wish I could afford a WRX though. Jwnmt

Re: Factory Rack problem (labelle)

The other option would be to have a trailer hitch installed (is it available?) and buy a rack that sits on that. I guess you would still run into the same problem though. I know the Saturn Vue has an interior rack available. Perhaps Pontiac will release one for the vibe (I don't know if it is tall e...

Personally, I still stand behind GM and their products. It's quite obvious that GM has made some mistakes in the demand for certain packages and models of the vehicle.
