Just saw this on the Pontiac Concept Cars website.* Supercharged 1.8 liter, 16-valve DOHC L4 engine delivering up to 35% more HP and torque than the base Vibe engine * Five-speed manual transmission * Performance-tuned suspension components * GXP-specific 18-inch forged aluminum wheels What do you guys think ??? I kinda like it.

It looks nice. A bit closer to a Matrix look, no?

LOL! However, this "new" kid on the block actually "moved" here over 5 months ago and has been hiding in his room, peeking through the windows watching us secretly since then!Tag, you're it!But I will say this: I agree with JEEPers. I like the look of the GXP Vibe.

Actually I never got the Vibe. It was too new and I ended up getting a Focus ZTS. Sorry However ... I am kind of leaning towards to what that Vibe GXP is done up. And sorry .... I wasn't aware of this particular model until I saw it on the Pontiac Concept Cars site.In the gist and good nature of things .... I will say this ... " Thank you may I have another !!! " But seriously ... I want to wait year or two for things to get sorted out with the Vibe since parts availability and a few other items are of concern with you guys as owners. Also ... after putting a CAI on my Focus and then seeing how much a pita it is to put on a Vibe .... I might wait and see. Don't worry .... I will be around but never realized this was my first post to this forum. I actually bumped into another owner from a different forum I was on accidentally too.

Actually, you may be doing the right thing. You can get (and finance) the supercharger instead of having it added on later with one large payment. And you may be able to get the GXP look too.

I love rookies. It's fun to see the excitement when they think they have found some info that everyone here has known about for months.Sorry it was funny. I'm very happy with all the new members we get. The site is really starting to take off now. I love this Vibe by the way. I hope the 2004 model makes those wheels a factory option.

I have always liked the GXP looks. I especially like the rear bumper and roof design because it look so much smoother than ours do.

I too am a fan of the tail light fins. I was told that they add 30 to 40 hp...
