I wonder how the tire pressure monitor will work with everyone's aftermarket wheels...

w/ the exception of the stabilitrak and integrated sub in the rear, nothing that i would really want.... other than leather, but i have my own custom interior that i like better.

If one is consistently turning faster than the rest, it can only be that it is soft or flat (or that you're running a mini spare on that corner!) Obviously this doesn't help if all four are soft, so there are systems with pressure transducers inside each tire which transmit RF signals to a processor in the car. Don't know which will be in the Vibe.

Found commonly on higher-end cars such as Grand Prix and Bonneville, the technology has become cheaper, and it's slowly funneling it's way down to entry level cars.Quote, originally posted by Jahntassa »And Mike...have you been in NYC again..?

Just got back from the NY Auto Show (how could you miss the thread?) and we saw it walking towards Javitz...I was amused, and had to have it.

Didn't find out what new color (if any) was going to replace it but my salesman told me that Pontiac has dropped the Fusion Orange color from any new orders for all models.
