Posted: Wed Nov 24, 2010 9:08 am
was almost able to afford the Vibe GT as my first car in GT5, but it was 20,881 when you only start with 20,000 credits arrggh.I had to settle on the MR-S.so who else is playing the new Gran Turismo??? Check out photo I took of the car..its a FROSTY TOO!! too bad the body cladding isnt painted Here's the game description:The Pontiac Vibe was essentially a re-skinned version of the Toyota Matrix, a sporty subcompact crossover. The Vibe, released in 2002, featured a more American look than the Matrix, and was marketed in Japan as the Toyota Voltz.The top-of-the-line Vibe was the GT, the sportiest model in the lineup. It was mechanically identical to the Matrix XR-S. The Vibe GT's most noteworthy feature was its 1.8-liter inline-4, dubbed the 2ZZ, which also saw duty in the Toyota Celica while the base Vibe was powered by the 138 HP 1ZZ, which it shared with the Toyota Corolla.The Vibe GT's 2ZZ power plant pumped out 180 HP. The Vibe GT was a surprisingly adept performance car, with head-snapping acceleration and good handling, thanks to its sport-tuned suspension system. It kept pace with comparably-priced sports coupes, and being a true crossover (part SUV and part sedan), this FF (Front engine, Front drive) 5-door was an efficient recrational vehicle, able to transport five adults and their luggage in style and comfort.In 2008, both the Pontiac Vibe and the Toyota Matrix underwent a complete makeover that resulted in a look and feel that emphasized "sporty hatchback" rather than a utility-minded crossover. With the demise of Pontiac in 2009, amidst General Motors' bankruptcy, its anyone's guess when and if the Vibe will ever reappear again.
