Dunno. Seems to me "redneck" transcends all makes/models of vehicles...Would it really matter if I drove a Dodge or a BMW as long as I included appropriate bumper stickers, duct tape, and obvious lack of car washes??

How will the Pontiac Vibe handle in a ski town?
I have been driving a '99 pontiac grand am with standard all weather tires in Winter Park, CO for the past 4 years and have had great luck with driving in the snow/ice. I'm due for a new vehicle and am looking at pontiac vibes. How does the traction compare to the grand am (g6). Are the tires/wheels much smaller (clearance over deep snow)? What is...

The Vibe hasn't had any significant changes since it was introduced. Well, until this year that is (there's a new one due in a month or so at your local dealer). Obviously All Wheel Drive is a huge improvement over FWD for winter traction. But tire choice is the biggest X factor here. All seasons...

What is the difference in the clutch pressure plate on a Vibe and a Vibe GT?

General Motors Rebate
I bought a new Pontiac Vibe and took delivery on July 30, 2008. Two days later on Aug 1st they started giving a $500.00 rebate. What are my chances of asking for and receiving that $500.00 rebate now ? Do I have a chance in Hxxl of getting it? Anyone been down the same road? What was the outcome?

Very unlikely. You get the incentives that are going on at that time. But, like with most things in life, it can't hurt to ask. I would suggest being really polite and calling (or visiting in person) the salesman you worked with and just ask. The worst he can say is no. Since the cash allowances...

Why should I also consider these? X

There are few vehicles of a similar size to the 2008 Pontiac Vibe that offer such versatility and usable interior space.

Other than the closely related Toyota Matrix, the Scion xB is another possibility.

Its boxy body affords an impressive amount of space, while offering good fuel efficiency.

Along more conventional lines, the Kia Spectra5 is an economical five-door hatchback model that's definitely more fun to drive than the Vibe, though it might not be as spacious inside.

The Dodge Caliber also competes in this class; it offers impressive features, such as tailgate speakers, but it has a rather loud interior and isn't as comfortable.

And if you're willing to go up a little bit in size, the Subaru Forester might fit your needs.

It's more of a sport-utility vehicle, but it's small with the most carlike driving position, and it's one of the best handling and easiest to park among them.
