I saw a Yaris "S" yesterday. I have to say......I kinda liked it. I just don't know if I could deal with the center dash gauges.

I saw a prev-gen Porsche TURBO weaving in &out of traffic last week.....NICE LOOKING CAR!I saw a BENTLEY GT coupe last month...those things are HUGE....Also, I see Vibes/Matrixes here in Central PAmore and more of them....yessir!

Saw a Fit on sunday.

BlueCrush · Post by **BlueCrush** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 5:28 am

Saw 2 yellow Calibers, a Silver Solstice and a yellow Sky.

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 10:31 am

I keep seeing those f-whatever crusiers, f-in' disgusting!

umbriago · Post by **umbriago** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 1:32 pm

I saw my first Fit on Sunday, and man is that puppy small. I also keep seeing those Dodge Calibers, too, and while they look nice, they're still Chryslers (sorry DaimlerChrysler, I never forgot what a dud my dad's '73 Duster was, sorry).

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 2:07 pm

i ve a boat load of those Calibers and 3 new Solstices 2 Black and 1 Red. the black ones look sharp.

slvrvibes · Post by **slvrvibes** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 11:17 pm

A couple of black solstices and plenty of calibers. One even had what looked like 20's in chrome. It look a bit ridiculous to me.

ZubenElGenubi · Post by **ZubenElGenubi** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 11:39 pm

I've seen a couple of Mazda CX-7's and man, are they beautiful. I still think they're overpriced, but nice looking nonetheless.Saw a Yaris hatchback yesterday and my first thought was "did they change the Scion xA already?" It doesn't look bad though.Even though I'm seeing more Calibers, I'm seeing MUCH MORE Vibes. Guess the price of gas is finally getting to a few people in H-town (aka "Highway-town").

blake31 · Post by **blake31** » Sun Jul 23, 2006 10:05 pm

saw a peugeot 407 with manufacturer plates the other day on I-96

slvrvibes · Post by **slvrvibes** » Sun Jul 23, 2006 11:04 pm

I saw a white Saturn Sky over the weekend.

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Fri Jul 28, 2006 9:01 am

MAKE THEM GO AWAY!!!! Give me Aztek's or something more attractive to look at instead. I guess many feel the need to look like they're out on a safari since I can't go anywhere without seeing one of these things now... Safari, yeah, totally, like one to the MALL!

I stopped and looked at a new G5 yesterday. Much like the Vibe interior being exactly the same as the Matrix the interior is the same as the Cobalt. According to the dealer GM is not going to build the GT with the Cobalt's supercharger. Rumor has it though that next year you will be able to order it with the 260 horse/260 tourque ecotec from the solstice GXP!!!!!Also, looks like no 4-door.Overall, much better lookin' in person

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Tue Aug 01, 2006 1:19 am

i have seen my First Mazda Speed 6 and let me tell you it is geourgeous very agressive and fast. i also have seen a Sky infront of a Hooters.

isaaclud · Post by **isaaclud** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 2:12 am

saw a JEEP Grand Cherokee SRT-8man, I'm not a chrysler fan....but that thingLOOKED BAD-(removed)...the exhausts were at least 3" around and thosewheels HAD TO BE 20"...yeah, the stockerswhats the MPG on those things? 10? ha

Kari · Post by **Kari** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 2:16 am

Has anyone seen any of the Jeep version of the Caliber? I saw a commercial for it the other day and I think it looks really good.http://www.jeep.com/en/compass/index.html

new05vibeowner · Post by **new05vibeowner** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 2:31 am

Are you talking about the Compass? I think that is the ugliest thing to come out of Detroit since the Pacer! Plus, Car & Driver just gave it a bad review.

ZubenElGenubi · Post by **ZubenElGenubi** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 3:39 am

The Compass looks like a Caliber wearing braces.

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 5:36 am

man did they ever ruin the compass after the concept car and show you how cool it looked before production. but yea id take the Caliber over the Compass any day!

kostby · Post by **kostby** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 2:35 pm

I saw a Dodge Nitro last night at the Dodge NASCAR event on the Circle in Indianapolis. IMHO, it looks like it should've been named Jeep Nitro'.Link to Dodge site --> http://www.dodge.com/en/nitro/index.html

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 2:52 pm

i have to admit. i love how the speakers flip down in the back in the new jeep. that's just COOL!

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 5:34 pm

I likes it too... We're just weird, I guess, damn Caliber and its offshoot likin' freaks! For some reason, that's the only Jeep that appeals to me really...Ah yes, trdvibe, the speakers! Pretty sweet, huh? I could annoy some neighbors with one of those things. Caliber has them available too...

high revin · Post by **high revin** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 7:31 am

SilverExpress · Post by **SilverExpress** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 8:12 am

I saw the unveiling of a pre-production Camaro today. It was announced that GM will produce this car.The attached pic is of the car being driven around GM's Technical center after the announcement.

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 1:33 pm

Finally saw an SRT-8 Charger and 300C, and also a Cayman S(Boxter coupe)......mmmmmm....

Atomic · Post by **Atomic** » Thu Aug 17, 2006 11:43 am

I took this picture of the Smart roadster in the Amsterdam airport.

Atomic · Post by **Atomic** » Thu Aug 17, 2006 11:51 am

There was also this SEAT Altera that was kind of neat: These Fiat Doblos were everywhere:

TRDman · Post by **TRDman** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 7:35 am

That Fiat is the neatest vehicle I have seen in some time. But then, I like the Scion xB, so... But, I've seen: a Lamborghini Gallardo (LOUD), an M6 (this was a very good week for car spotting) and a couple new Rav4's. I saw a Mazda5 too, which looks a lot smaller than the pictures in person.

ramenboy... · Post by **ramenboy...** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 10:31 am

saw my first smart car in chicago, driving down lincoln around irving park today. not the roadster. it was the two2. pretty cool

slvrvibes · Post by **slvrvibes** » Sun Aug 20, 2006 10:17 pm

I saw a gray Ford GT this morning. Thought it was a Ferrari, until I drove by it and saw the big Ford GT on the side.

Finaly saw one of the Jeep Grand Cherokees SRT8'S and ohh baby that thing looks Sick!!

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Fri Sep 29, 2006 3:47 am

and they are supposed to be bigger than the previous model design..

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Thu Oct 05, 2006 9:46 am

Saw something on a Dodge dealer's lot today and was like "huh?" Some crazy looking SUV thing I hadn't seen before...Turns out to be a Dodge Nitro. Appears to be based on the Liberty from what I read. Sure is MANLY! Like we'd expect anything else from Dodge. lol!The Caliber is REALLY kicking (removed) around here, you see them everywhere now. The Vibe was nowhere near as popular in this area. The usual Hyundai (removed) post content includes the new '06 Accent SE hatch, pretty snazzy looking, altezza lookin' tail lights and all. Saw one in this color the other day... I've been seeing the new Santa Fe on the lots for a while now, but haven't been seeing many on the road. But that is changing... Not too bad for some SUV.And last but not least, from elsewhere in Korea, I saw the first new Aveo on a dealer's lot on Monday. Mom just bought a new last-gen '06 4-door, it was like $10K or something. Say what you want about 'em, but I got a chance to take that car for a spin tonight, and it wasn't bad at all for the price. A good, way up high driving position and excellent visibility all around. Nice, smooth tranny and engine, decent amount of pep for only 103 HP (a tiny engine turned over by a whopping 550 CCA AC Delco! ). Very smooth ride for something that small. I'd say the new model would be even better. Has some nice features they've added since last year. Still like the Accent better though. For what they are, the small rinky dink transportation appliances are getting pretty easy to live with these days. I'm becoming a fan of the breed...

isaaclud · Post by **isaaclud** » Thu Oct 05, 2006 10:04 pm

The Audi Q7....my GOD....that thing looks NICElike a 2-tone SHARK driving around....very slick....Plus a bright-(removed)-yellow MATRIX at the TOYOTAdealership near me....WAS NOT PLEASANT onthe eyes, let me tell you

blake31 · Post by **blake31** » Wed Nov 01, 2006 4:00 am

They are HOTT!!My friend's dad works for Garett and he has a Smart Roadster that he uses at demos and stuff, and he had it, along with a RHD Focus RS and a BMW 325d at Honeywell's booth at the dreamcruise and I drove the Smart home and my friend drove the focus and all i can say is..WOW! That thing handles like a go-kart, but 88hp doesnt do it justice lol

J-freakie · Post by **J-freakie** » Wed Nov 01, 2006 8:26 am

Being that it's start to get to the Winter season, I don't really see much. But during the summer/fall seasons. I saw 2 Lamborghini's, 1 Ferrari, 1 Porsche Turbo and couple Supercharged Saleen Mustangs. Other than that, not much of anything special.dan

michaelgt · Post by **michaelgt** » Wed Nov 01, 2006 8:20 pm

I am guessing that it is a test mule for next years Saturn. Since GM is going to give Saturn a Astra model, they are probably performing testing with the vehicle. I think this will be my next small 5-door.

Vibr8tr · Post by **Vibr8tr** » Wed Nov 01, 2006 9:38 pm

Saw two new vipers the other day.... nice looking cars right there. But cars that are in my price range, I saw three brand new EVO's cruising together the other day. I didn't know that there was enough of them out there to see three together.... crazy crazy crazy world we are in.

michaelgt · Post by **michaelgt** » Thu Nov 02, 2006 4:52 am

I checked out the new GMC Acadia today. I really like the way the second-row seat slides forward. Pretty nice vehicle.
