I do believe that is the all doomed "black box".

this was supposed to be under "benjamin's" post. Sorry for the mess up.

I can thank my employer for this one. I can't make it, the MOTORS has us working that Saturday. If you all would make a drive out to Lordstown that would be great. I want to see that s/c Vibe.......

32k on your clutch. Seems kinda low to me. Most clutches should last about 50k to 80 k on the normal driving. I have had clutches last me over 80k... But then again it is on how you drive. If you are a heavy and fast shifter it will go out sooner. FYI dont down shift brakes are cheaper.......

That is pretty much it....

I really havent kept up with the new car as of lately. I do remember that the first drawing of it looked like an Opel (GM ownes Opel), and as i said in a previouse post. Lutz sent it back to the drawing board. So hopefully for my sake as well as all the other Gm employees Luzt made a good decision t...

yep the cavalier and sunfire will be no more in a year or so.

I think that the last J-car will be built sometime in 04. GM is doing work the the plant for the new car new pant shop, new module and marriage.

They had an idea last year on what it was going to be but Lutz sent it back to the drawing board.. One thing I do kown is that it will have the ecotec and a turbo or charger. They should be rolling out in "05" model year as romor has it... The first car they had looked like a d~~n Opel wit...

Just to let you all know that tonight was the night that the "04" Cavalier and Sunfire was built. The reason I am telling you this is I build them at the Lordstown Plant in OH.

quote:No. The Cavalier was never, and is not currently, a Toyota product. It and the Pontiac Sunbird/Sunfire were all GM. Only the 1986-88 Chevy Nova, the 1989-97 Geo Prizm and the 1998-2002 Chevy Prizm were Toyota Corolla based cars.In the mid 90's GM did build a right hand drive Cavalier for Toyot...

With the "mono-tone" vibes having this clear tape on the lower cladding tells me that this is a known problem with the vibe. GM does not spend any money if they dont have to on the manufacturing of their products. Hmmm makes me think that knowing this would benefit me in getting my vibe re...

quote:Yes, I would like to have it repaired, but... The way I see it, not much sense on replacing the parts if they're going to get eaten up again, unless something is changed with the design of the cladding. I concur with your thoughts. But still my question is, Is this normal for a car to tear its...

I dont know if something like that would be considered "normal wear and tear" to all people. So yeah sure go out and spend the 50 bucks or so on something the car should of had on it from the factory.... I dont mean to sound rude... But I dont think it is normal for the tires to pick up di...

If you dont have mud flaps on your vibe you might be experencing a sand blasting effect on the cladding by the rear doors. Does anyone think GM should be responsable for this on warrenty or is it just common wear and tear?
