if you had to get a new car, other than the Vibe what wood you get?

a corvette... and if it had to be a wagon i would get the caliber

Vibe GT

x

What "wood" I get - I've always been partial to cherry. Walnut is nice too.

Seriously folks - take my wife, please!Maybe a Mazda 5.

Probably a Mazda 3 wagon, and if I was financially secure then I would get the Solstice or GTO as well.

a new mazdaspeed3: new turbocharged 263HP with 280Lbs of torque.They are really nice and gonna run only 22K to start!!!

Don't know why, maybe it's the 300HP, maybe it's just how cool it looks....But if we were going ANY car in the world.... I am a Ford GT kinda guy. Something about it makes me weak in the knees.

A Matrix... JK, I wood get G5 or a GTO.

I dunno, perhaps an FJ Cruiser or a Mini Cooper S

If I HAD to get a new car, I'd really be tempted to get an Acura RDX or Mazda CX-7. Or a Magnum R/T.But I'd probably end up with a Caliber or Honda FIT. Yuk.

I miss my 05 Rex Sedan, but a wagon is more my style now.

'07 Honda Accord V6 sedan with the 6-speed manual.

Mazda Speed 3. I actually wanted a Vibe GT when they first came out but saw pics of the Mazda3 and figured I'd wait for one. I wasn't too impressed with the test drive of the 3S and heard rumors of a Speed version in the future. I couldn't wait and ended up with a left over 05 Vibe GT for VERY cheap and couldn't be happier.

I would be getting the Subaru Impreza WRX STi. Would rather get the STi Limited but... they are limited lol. Only 800 made and probably all sold out of by the time I can get one. But thats the next car I'd get... I wood.

being reasonable, sticking with the wagon theme to haul my crap to and from collegei'd check out the saab 9-2xhttp://www.saabusa.com/saabjsp...wer=5or audi a3if price is less conserned an s4 or somethin

Corvette z06..ya baby..ok back to the real world....something that would fit my needs as a parent and my love for a sporty driving/looking car.

Mazda 3 wagon

Quote, originally posted by coldmm803 »i'd check out the saab 9-2xhttp://www.saabusa.com/saabjsp...wer=5Ahh, yea, the 9-2x Areo would also work for me, because it's basicly a WRX, in differant Skin. (Same differance between Vibe and Matrix)

Good question I would get a Mazda 3 or a Chevy HHR.

Boy, you people just don't have any imagination. This is more my style...

I can't see getting a Mazda 3 wagon, it is so much a vibe clone that the "other than the Vibe" part of the original question should apply to it as well.

A new 7 passenger Rav 4. What other vehicle seats 7 and still averages over 20 mpg?

Ok, if I had to pick something OUT of the Vibe family, I'm thinking an orange Mini-Cooper convertible with black racing stripes on hood and bonnet. Yum.

Porche Cayman S in black w/red brake calipers and black interior. One of the best balanced, best handling, sweetest shifting, sweetest sounding, downrite sexiest mid engined cars on the market. All this with the practicality of two trunks. 14 cubic ft!Zero to 60 mph takes just 5 seconds and the car covers the standing quarter-mile in 13.2 seconds at 105 mph. 295 horse with the fuel economy of a buick (20-28). All this for 60k. Cheap for a Porsche and arguably better balanced than the 911. How can you go wrong?http://www.dailycars.ru/cars/p...2.jpg

theres one of these in my town (Defiance, Ohio) its sweeeeet! its like a Porsche 911 (or whatever they are called) SUV. sweeeeet

Quote, originally posted by Pyro-Andrew »... its sweeeeet! its like a Porsche 911 (or whatever they are called) SUV. sweeeeetNo, no, no! You're thinking Cayenne. This is the Cayman. Two seat, hard top, sports car on the Boxster chassis. Check the linky pic above.

its not turbo'd anymore i read up on it and its more like V-tec, more power throught the range and 5hp gain

ooh sorry man. but still the that car is sweeeeeeet too!! but the Porsche 911 SUV is hottt!!!!! but woodnt pay for it. haha

dont get me wrong, Ive always wanted a wrx but now leaning towards the sti......grrrr. I was just saying that its a better engine now, thats all

WoW Whata loaded ? but a great one! but i'll try and keep myself in check here speaking realisticly in the way of replacing my Vibe GT not to many and i have been looking this Vibe GT does it all for me for the money and power wow great car be hard to replace but first few choices being i need a 4 to carry my rug rats in would be a 07 Civic SI 4 door way sweet car comming out new i really looked the last few years at a magnum but was never sold on the quality got to drive my friends FJ cruiser the other day way impressive handles and does everything well except fuel mileage, not real impressed with the HHR thought i would be and the caliber is only selling because its cheap and i Mean cheap in more than one way this new civic SI 4 door just may be my next car already have a mazda 5 and love it probably buy far the best opptioned car to the vibe and qualty and price all in one highly recommmed looking at this car but noticed an older trans am on here in the way of a photo AMEN i have 2 hot rods 56 chevy show car and a 48 chevy fleetline pro street project that is swallowing all my money at a rapid rate lol but will be soooo hot when done but i guess i have all the cars i could want but than again if i could go right a check for one under 100 K it would be this jewel great poll later

An 06 350Z, just like my wife's. It is a blast to drive and you can get the base model for $26k.But since I car pool and put 25-30k miles on per year probably a 07 Camry with the V6. I wasn't pooling when I bought the Vibe, it has enough leg room (barely) but it doesn't handle or accelerate very well with 3 225# 6 foot plus people in it.

EEK. today is different from tomorrow... or next year or the year after. hard to say, but for now: i traded my VGT for what i wanted: 05 Legacy GT Lmtd (not the color i wanted but i like it more each day) 2.5L turbo 4 cyl 250/250 hp/tq AWD stock. now that i have AWD, i would NEVER get anything other than AWD for daily driving! no way! the handling is so smooth, holds onto the road, and dammit, it's sexy!next vehicle: so many choices, but my list would be:Legacy GT Spec B 6MT with STI swap (if i were to swap out my current LGT)BMW Z4 roadster convertible 6MTHonda S2000 convertible 6MTSaturn Sky Turbo 6MTNissan 350Z Sport convertible 6MTbasicly something with 6MT, a two seater roadster convertible (must have power roof). That's if I keep my LGT and just go with the upgraded turbo/TMIC/headers.

id love to get a 1995 MR2 T-Top Turbo! that or a 1970 Pontiac GTO The Judge!

1970 Hemi-Cuda. Almost bought one when I just got out of the Marine Corps. Some yahoo smashed it in a parking lot just before I closed the deal. OrAudi R85.2L 500hp V-10Audi's first mid-engine exotic sports car.But I can settle with the new Skyline GT-R

Louts Elise fo shosticking with the VVTL-I

70 GTO great choice my favoriate car on the planet it was my first car i ever owned that and i'll take a 70 chevelle LS-6 454 4spd aswell

Probably a Nissan Versa. It would have to be big enough for 2 or possibly 3 people (at points) and would still have to be roughly as fuel efficient as the Vibe. I would consider a Mazda5, but that's probably a little more than I need.
