I am in the market for a new vehicle.I have narrowed the choices down to three of them.Vibe AWD,Honda CRV,and a Suzuki XL7.I love the look of the Vibe(obviously)but not the power.Does anyone know about the market or aftermarket parts for performance enhancements?What has worked for you,if you have used any of them?

I take it you are looking for an AWD vehicle only? If not, get a GT. They scream.

I'd personally buy the base model 1ZZ-FE and have the optional supercharger installed from the factory. You'll be looking at 170 to 180 HP and 160 to 170 ft.lbs of torque. The Vibe should be able to get into the mid to low 6 second 0 to 60 range with this set up.

Thats why I said they are working on it. I dont think it was mechanical error, anyway from what I read. They'll figure it out and have a turbo for the GT with lots of HP.
