yep.....cant get them. I was hoping they would have come back, but I had to go ahead and get my car at the end of April. I guess I am at least glad to see it (GM loyalty) didnt come back in May - or else I'd been a teeny bit upset.

Just thinking.....since I dont have the car/owners manual yet.What kinda oil is recommended for the car? Hopefully not Mobil 1. I already got that in 2 vehicles. Would hate to have to pay to put it in another.

Anyone know when they come out with the s/c already installed, is it going to be dubbed something else? i.e. GT1, or Vibe SC, or what?Or is the plan merely to have the dealers install them all (I am hypotetesizing --- mispelled I know) about a 2004 model.But I got a GT.

Thanks Grumpy....but that would be within 1.5 hours of my parents (Lenoir City) and I'd have to make a visit...... ha ha haThere MAY be an update: Going to get the car tomorrow (provided they got it in). Turns out he swapped with another dealership - same car, but without the 500 in extra add-ons wh...

End of 2003 model run is getting tough! Couldnt find a Shadow GT, so had to go with my second choice - Satellite. It was at a dealership in DC, so they are bringing it down today/tomorrow? to the Hampton Roads area.So - summary: Satellite GT, monotone/moon/tunes/power/side airbag (a plus I guess) an...

the rally style (or whatever the right term is) manual shifter has been around for a while. I remember seeing them in numerous cars in Europe 4 years ago!I like that Mazda though. Looks pretty refined. But - Refinement costs $$$$$Good research though!

I can get 30-31 mpg in my Corvette. Just have to drive them in a "fuel efficient" mode. Same as any car.Even my 1993 (10 yrs old now) dinosaur can still make some of the current cars of today look plain silly. That's with ZERO mods. This winter after I play with the engine internals a wee ...

No - they were the ones that Nova posted above.But I have seen a set of VW ones that look similar. My buddy has a 2002 Jetta GLI (whichver one has the VR6 in it) and his has those 5 spoke wheels with the rivets.But - yep Nova - those are them.

Was at the dealer yesterday letting the Mrs. test drive a Vibe. Noticed the new wheels on the Aztek. Belive it or not - I think they would really look good on the vibe. I didnt have a camera, so I couldnt get a pic.I'd look on ebay for them - but who in the world buys an Aztek to mod????? lol.(just ...

Dohp! Re-read the article. Doesnt start until the 15th....maybe next weekend, I guess.

That's cool! I was planning on having the wife test drive one this weekend anyway. Now - maybe we could just bring it home!(But I dont think the dealer had any GT's)

The orange is neat. Would really like to get a vibe in a oarange-y color. But - hopefully we will be able to find a monotone Shadow. If not, hopefully we can find a satellite.

I saw the review on the Mazdaspeed Protege on Car and Driver TV this past weekend. Looked ok. I think they said it was pretty fun to drive, and handled well.But - arent they up there in the loaded WRX price range? I cant remember.

No doubt - the Jetta Wagon was a tough close-competition option. The youngster in me also wanted a Wrangler.....- but I can get the GM family discount coupled with the 0% financing - it kinda makes everything slant towards the Vibe.Edit - and Jason....you mean that when you and the Mrs go on a date ...

High Rev - Thanks for your post. I have been looking for those numbers (guess I wasnt looking hard enough )I really dont know how often I would run it past 6k. When I test drove the GT, I almost had to mentally "demand" myself to run it up that high (since with my Vette - it rarely goes pa...

Howdy! Newbie here. But - hopefully will catch up soon (frequenter of corvetteforum - and referred to here from there) Anyone got ideas on what may change from the 2003 --> 2004? Was looking at buying this month. But - interested at any info on what may change/improve with the 2004. Could wait - but...
