Sorry guys, even if I prefer our cars (6 speed, more fun to drive, higher rpm, sportier gt/xrs...) compared to the mazda (more torque, feel solid, volvo s-40 platform, quieter...), I think the mazda will win. I'm sure we can discuss the subject at the meet next saturday...

Seeing how the Mazda will get to 1000 degrees in 5.2 seconds, it will clearly be the winner. Seriously though, looking at specs, I think it will probaly end up winning.

I don't think so...

Quote, originally posted by xrs06 Â»I don't think so...I agree. I think the Mazda 5 would lose to a base vibe. The GT uses the same engine as the base Mazda5. It has a hp advantage, but all that extra weight can't help. Put it up against a vibe gt and it will look pathetic.

Anybody watched it?

POLO · Post by **POLO** » Mon Oct 10, 2005 5:15 am

I watched,i was very deceive.The mazda win,but he say that the vibe very economical car,...He say that he have a sporty look,but not made for sport driving.But,he compare a base automatic without abs vs mazda manuel with abs.

POLO · Post by **POLO** » Mon Oct 10, 2005 5:17 am

But,the same confrontation will replay this Saturday at 10h-11h for people who missed that.

How come they didnt pick a manual Vibe Gt with abs for the matchup? its like comparing apples with oranges.

Quote, originally posted by POLO Â»base automatic without abs vs mazda manuel with abs.Thats not even fair. Put an automatic mazda 5 up against a base vibe manual and see what happens. You don't need a GT to beat that car, and it just seams clear to me that this race was rigged for the mazda crowd. I like the mazda 5, but calling it a sporty compared to the vibe is a stretch. It's sporty compared to a mini-van, mabey.

hey, let's all write an email of protestation to the show, to let them know that they were off track for that one.Edit: this is the only email I found up to now. it's good for every show for TQS, so I'll keep digging, but we can use that one... tvpublic@tqs.cavoici le email que j'ai envoyÃ© Ã cette adresse:"Bonjour Ã toute l'Ã©quipe du Monton noir. Je vous Ã©cris pour rÃ©agir au comparatif Ã l'Ã©mission RPM entre la Pontaic Vibe et la Mazda 5 GT. L'idÃ©e du match comparatif est excellente, mais le match lui-mÃªme a Ã©tÃ© blaisÃ©. Pourquoi avoir comparÃ© une Mazda 5 GT manuelle avec une Vibe de base automatique. avant mÃªme de faire une comparaison, il Ã©tait possible de savoir que le "5" allait gagner. Lorsque je compare 2 aliments Ã l'Ã©picerie pour savoir lequel acheter, je vais les comparer sur une mÃªme base: une cueillÃ¨re Ã table de beurre d'arachide lÃ©ger Kraft avec une cueillÃ¨re Ã table de beurre d'arachide lÃ©ger Skippy, et non avec du croquant Skippy. Si vous aviez voulu faire un comparatif valable, il aurait fallu comparer Mazda 5 GT avec Pontiac VIbe GT: le gros moteur de chacune, transmission manuelle pour chacune, frein abs pour chacune, etc. L'impression qui me reste aprÃ¨s avoir vu ce reprotage est que vous avez voulu que la Mazda 5 gagne, ce qui me laisse un goÃ»t trÃ¨s amer de l'Ã©mission. Ã€ l'avenir, je ferai trÃ¨s attention lors des matchs comparatifs, avant de prendre pour argent comptant les rÃ©sultats de ces matchs. Merci de faire parvenir ce courriel Ã l'Ã©quipe de RPM. Bonne journÃ©e Ã vous. Martin-Claude LeblancPropriÃ©taire d'une Pontaic Vibe 2003"

IMO, this show has little credibility. I lost interest in it when they've tested a AMG benzo and this dude from Canadian Tire claimed that there was an engineering flaw when the rear brakes were designed. Yeah, whatever...I wouldnt care about that show.

Dans la prochaine rpm,ils font comparer Honda Accord ex v6 vs Honda Accord hybride.

En autant qu'ils n'incluent pas une Yaris avec les 2 Accord

To johoiste:fredfreedom said that it "showed" a lot of consideration for their viewers. That was said in a sarcastic way.xrs06 said: From a station that needs a lot of them (viewers).
