That would have been nice but the only performance parts that GM has for the Vibe is the S/C.

Awesome that she's back! I still can't believe people that are complaining about these engines. There are lemon parts in every make of car. Toyota is rated the #1 reliable manufacturer, followed by Honda and a few European companies. There are never any American companies on the list. And who cares if the engine is built in West Virginia? All Japanese cars are built in America, they just use Japanese specs and engineering........ that's how it always works. And yes, the tranny in this car is a little quirky but it just takes some getting used to.

There isn't american cars on the list, because of bias people who have no clue about cars or trucks.I wish my car was a true GM car made with parts designed and made in america by americans, without the toyota crap inside it.TOYOTA QUALITY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's not start the Toyota bashing anew, please. All brands have their problems. This is not proven to be anything more than just an isolated dead engine.
