GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

The next auto show at TQS (RPM) will confront Pontiac Vibe and Mazda 5 GThttp://www.tqs.ca/emissions/rpm/accueil.phpFew month ago my boss have bought mazda 5.I don't know if i will say to him to watch the confrontation between our car.If his mazda win,he will laugh to me,but if our vibe win i will lough to him So,who will win you thing?I will the poll to decide to tell him or not.

There's also the new Guide De l'Auto that is about to go out and the car of the year is that ugly thing called a Mazda 5.OHHHHHHHHHHH boy, they thrully like Mazda now...to be continued

so, who won?? not that ugly Mazda 5 I hope!!

At the next show RPM,next sunday at 10.00am.

oh!! I thought it was the one this last sunday...

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 »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.

Qu’est-ce qui s’est passé!?!?I saw the ad in the half hour before the show and theire was no vibe...!C’était 2 chars de 75 000$!C’es-tu moi qui est ****é!?!?À vous!!!

C'est a la prochaine emission,le 9oct.

Anybody watched it?

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.

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 »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 envoyé à cette adresse:"Bonjour à toute l'équipe du Monton noir. Je vous écris pour réagir au comparatif à l'émission RPM entre la Pontaic Vibe et la Mazda 5 GT. L'idée du match comparatif est excellente, mais le match lui-même a été blaisé. Pourquoi avoir comparé une Mazda 5 GT manuelle avec une Vibe de base automatique. avant même de faire une comparaison, il était possible de savoir que le "5" allait gagner. Lorsque je compare 2 aliments à l'épicerie pour savoir lequel acheter, je vais les comparer sur une même base: une cueillère à table de beurre d'arachide léger Kraft avec une cueillère à table de beurre d'arachide léger 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 après avoir vu ce reprotage est que vous avez voulu que la Mazda 5 gagne, ce qui me laisse un goût très amer de l'émission. À l'avenir, je ferai très attention lors des matchs comparatifs, avant de prendre pour argent comptant les résultats de ces matchs. Merci de faire parvenir ce courriel à l'équipe de RPM. Bonne journée à vous. Martin-Claude LeblancPropriétaire d'une Pontaic Vibe 2003"

Great

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.

Quote, originally posted by Thewhite »oupos, c¸a c'Est la faute à mesa doigtrs trop grso pour le clavier...tant qu'il n'a pas marqué que le comparatif était baisé... c'est correct!

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

still didn't received any feed back about my mail. they probably didn't receiving the truth by an outsider

(removed)!!!! I JUST received an answer!!! amazing!!! 3 weeks later! My email was sent on October 11th, and today I got this:Quote »Bonjour, Merci de communiquer avec nous. Nous avons transféré votre message à nos recherchistes de l'émission. Nous vous invitons à demeurer à notre antenne et vous souhaitons une belle saison sur les ondes de TQS!Bonne journée !!

Wow! 3 weeks to wait to get an auto response That station is such BS!

Que de considérations pour leurs auditeurs!

D'une station qui en a grandement besoin...

i can't understand frenchplease translate to english for the ignorant like me

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).
