GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

At the auto show here at the State Fair, there is the new Mustang GT, the Ford GT, the C6 Vette, the 500, an 05 Vibe, the G6, an SRT-10, a Viper, and some import stuff. The GT is a slick car, and my wife wants a Yukon Denali that they had as well.

Saw this GTO at a dealer nearby the other day...Schweeeeeeeet.....

i've seen a lincoln mark LT truck (nothing special, just looks like a dressed up F150) on the road a few times lately. actuallly, the guy lives right down the road from me and he must work at ford, so i see him in a lot of new cars. he was driving an '05 mustang around for a couple of weeks this fall.

I saw a few new Avalons on a truck coming from the Toyota plant in KY... I didn't know they were going to change anything on 'em. Pretty good looking car, for a big cushy sedan.

I work at a Ford dealership here in houston so i would have to say the most interesting cars i have seen are the new Ford GT and a loaded Mustang GT.

Whats so great about the new g6 isnt it the replacement for the grand am I saw one the other day and if you ask me they screwed up big I had a 1998 Pontiac Grand Am gt and loved it and would give anything to have another.

I love the looks of the G6 way more than the Grand Am - and my parents are on their third grand am, mostly because I kept insisting they get one because I used to love the Grand am that much. But I think the G6 is a much better car.

The GA couldn't last forever... The N-body platform on which it is based is already 20 years old. Granted, we've seen "redesigns" on the outside and many mechanical changes. But underneath, I'm sure that a 2004 GA isn't that much different than a 1985 - kinda like how the Cavalier has been the same underneath since 1982. A new design, building on a new platform was a good idea to me.Go G6!

Might i add to my previous post by stating that even working at the biggest Ford franchise in houston i still prefer my Vibe GT over anything we sell.

I saw a black Ford GT this morning, and I must admit... It was seriously sweet.

DAYUM! It's one thing to see a supercar in a show or a picture but to see one in person is a whole different experience. I want to see a GT on the road!I saw an H3 on the road the other day. i think they look sharp. WAAAY better then the H2.Also I saw a Qvale Mangusta. They aren't really THAT new but still, to see one arond here is pretty neat.

Few days ago, I think that I saw orange 2005 Ford Mustang GT V8 "Limited Edition" with custom rims, dual exhaust and graphite interior. It was very nice ride and I hate to see gas mileage....

I've been seeing Ford GT's at a "Ford GT" build shop on the Northwest side of Maple Rd and Stephenson Hwy. It's about 1/4 mi west of the intersection. I say build shop because you can see right into the shop, and they've got Ford GT chassis' on racks. They also have a showroom that often has 2 or 3 Ford GT's in it. They also showcase souped up '05 Mustangs quite often. Neat place. Sorry I don't have pics. Maybe this weekend. Don't want to seem to obvious snapping pics....especially when I work for the competition. Here is what an assembled car looks like....http://www.fordvehicles.com/fordgt/home.asp

I have also seen the Dodge Charger Daytona Edition out near Auburn Hills, as well as several other Chargers.

It was decent looking, but I couldn't help but think the rear end looked like a stratus. Also, the guy driving it at the time was a (removed). Swerving around, cutting people off to get one car ahead.

I still don't get what all the rage is over the GT. First off, IMHO, it's fugly. Second, it's only 550 hp. That's only 50 more than a Vette Z06. And I'm sure by next year (or two years), the Vette will put out that much or more. Last I checked, the Z06 was a hell of a lot cheaper too.

i saw a new dodge charger yesterday on I-75 in flint. looked pretty nice, but not as nice as i thought the concept car they introduced probably about 6 years ago (see pic).

not so sound racist, but in cali, every black "rapper" (aka wanna be) has a 300(not really C), magnung or something that looks like it with 20s or higher.

I saw the new Charger too sitting at the dealership. I stopped and took a good look at it but didn't have my camera with me to take any pictures . It had nice leather seats, but I wasn't really feeling the dash and interior. It was very boxy and trimmed...like they used to be.

Late last week I saw and drove the new Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged coupe, and was very impressed! It was Silver with a BIG rear wing (that made it very hard to ID the car behind you). Excellent seats, very nice short-throw shifter, great exhaust note, gorgeous 18" wheels (I'd love a set like that on my Vibe GT!) and cackle-inducing acceleration. All in all, it's a lot of car for only $23,000 (this one also had XM and a moonroof). If I had the money, and could get away with another three-door car, I'd pull the trigger on that ride. The ride was also quite impressive for a tightly sprung sport compact car with 18" wheels and tires. By the way, it had W-Rated Pirelli P Zero Rossos with tread compound that literally stuck to your fingernail when you dug it into the tread - now THAT'S grippy!!Check it out if you get the chance, y'all!

A few days ago i see this on the parking lot of where i work.But,in color silver

Saw a Honda Ridgeline yesterday.I've got one word for it: UGLY

Yesterday I saw a Smart fortwo Cabriolet on 696 near Gratiot. It had Canadian plates on it. I wish I had my camera with me. It looked just like the pic below that I got from their website. It was so small I could probably fit 4 in my garage LOL.

This isn't exactly a "new" auto, but I was shocked to see one up close...The other day at work, I'm bored, so as usual, I look out to the lot by my car...and what's parked next to me but...**GASP** A FREAKIN MASERATI QUATTROPORTE! Yes, a MASERATI! A $95,000 automobile! And the first thing I said to my co-workers: "They're eating at FRIDAY'S?"But yes, this is the best picture I could get, it wasn't there for very long once I noticed it...And the owners? A very elderly couple...nice way to retire, eh?BTW: Here's a better pic of one...

I have seen a bunch of new cars this week. I saw a Malibu Maxx SS, Lincoln Zephyr, a new Ford Focus (I think that it was the European Focus), HHRs, the new Jeep, and the 06 Vue.

Two new Chargers this week. One on base here at Buckley AFB, the other at my daughter's school.Saw one of those Ridgelines too....fugly.

The other day I saw 2 Corvette C6sSOOOOOOOO NICE!

And I forgot, I also saw a 06 Z06 in the parking lot at the GM Performance Vehicle building.

seen a few 06 vettes around, those are so hot. Lots of Ridgelines up here in Alaska though, seen several of those about town. Or maybe its the same ones... they remind me of an Avalanch with a big H for honda instead.

seen quite a few of those new chargers. and the new mustangs. everyone's going back to retro. also, plenty of the new vette's. had lunch with some people that went to my church and they just bought one of those new ridgelines... in person, i still think they're ugly. and of course, LOTS of B9 tribeca's lol.

I saw a couple of the new Mercedes R series, the waggon style, kinda nice, The website doesn't show much of the interior, but it has a documentary w/ skateborder legend Tony Hawk.

a few solstices with the camo on the front, also saw a g6 gtp and grand prix gxp a while ago.EDIT: Charger sxt, and, maybe not new, but i parked next to a Bentley Continental GT at the grocery store, of all places, a few days ago

I finally went back to the states last week (first time in 2 years) and saw the Ridgeline for the first time in the flesh. Yuck!Saw the Charger for the first time as well...I like it better in person than in pics. Same for the B9 Tribeca...the nose is not nearly as offensive as I thought it would be, and the profile and rear are actually kinda nice.And I also saw the G6 for the first time in person...MUCH better looking than in pics. I seriously thought it was an Acura until I saw the front end. Hats off to Pontiac for the G6...very nice. I take back everything bad I ever thought about the G6 coupe too...I haven't seen that one in person, but if it's anything like the G6 sedan, it's gotta be good.

I saw i saw a....................ma..ma.....Maserati Coupe.My eye wouldn't quit the car.The blue one.Have a frigging engine sound,he got 390hp 7000torque v8.Please God i want one.

Saw this yesterday:I did take more pics but my phone corrupted them.It's obviously new because it was covered with fake padded mesh and whatnot. It had Michigan plates and was traveling with a caravan of other Michigan plated cars. What is it exactly? I saw a Hyundai badge on it.

Seeing that you saw the crooked H on that thing, my best guess would be that it is the upcoming 2007 Santa Fe. http://www.edmunds.com/insidel...454#4

They used to be uncommon, but I see them every day now.

I saw a ford GT a couple weeks ago a a loca car show.

Saw a new civic coupe yesterday.That thing is looks quite nice!Honda did awesome breathing new life into that model line.

ive seen atleast 3 new civic coupes, two HHR's, 4 Chargers, 1 Cobalt SS, quite a few H3's, 2 Ridglines, and 1 Ford Fusion.

saw an o6 civic on the highway today on the way to work. have to say, it looks smooth

saw a saturn aura and outlook yesterday. the aura was kinda blah. the outlook was pretty nice though. i saw it coming up behind me, so i got over and cruised along side it for a couple miles. it was partially camoflagued (why? they have a full gallery of pics of it at saturn.com). didn't have my camera with me, sorry.

The vehicles you saw were probably "mule builds" and did not have production quality body panels, paint, and trim. They use the camo to hide the ugliness of the test vehicles so that people don't see what it looks like before they reach production.

Regarding Maserati, I saw one on the road the other day. I don't know enough about them to tell what model/year it was, however, I did make this observation: 1. Cool: Maserati Convertible on a sunny day.2. Less Cool: Middle aged man with cigar in a Maserati Convertible on a sunny day.3. Uncool: Middle aged man with cigar and stetson in a Maserati Convertible on a sunny day. 4. Busted: Middle aged man with cigar and stetson on a sunny day in a Maserati Convertible with dealer plates!

I've seen: many Civics, 2 Solstices, 1 Sky (Mother's remark: "That's nice-looking"), 1 Maserati Quattroporte, several GMT900's, and others which I cannot think of right now.

I saw a late model Ferrari tonight,....it looked like a Superamerica, but I didn't know they were out yet.....

i saw what i think was a silver ferrari F50 this morning. i only had about 2 seconds to look at it, as it was going north and i was going south on US23.I also see an orange lotus elise almost every day going the opposite direction as me. sometimes i pass him on the way in to work and on the way home.

I've seen about 5 solstices, 1 sky, few porches, and a few new vettes. all except for one solstice/sky was in or going to Little Rock. I saw a red solstice with the top down sitting at a resturant and really wanted to turn around and look at it close, but I resisted the temptation I wish I would've turned around now; I haven't seen another one since
