TatII · 01-24-2002, 03:07 AM

okay get this, pontiac is makin their down GT-R, its called the Vibe GT-R. what it basically is, is a toyota matrix, with a kit on it. how dare they insult the name GT-R like this~!! do those guys at general motors not know how legendary the GT-R is? how can they even put them two in the league? GT-R fans should feel insulted by this stupid thing cuse i sure was. just like how the 3000GT VR4, was called GTO in japan. but the japanese knew that there would a be awhole bunch of angry GTO fans out there that would smash every 3000GT that they see in the street. argh oh wellz. thats my .2 cents.

i know that there are many other GT-R's out there. i think Benz make one themselfs as well for the Le man's races. but come on~ them puttin the GT-R on a van/station wagon/sports car hybrid?

Nissan doesn't own the name 'GT' followed by 'R'...

lol

but all in honesty. when you hear the phrase "GT-R" what car comes to mind? a skyline~! well to me atleast. lolz. just like how when they say GTO to me i think of a old pontiac. and even the new R35 won't be called a skyline anymore, its goin to be just "GT-R".

border_project · 01-25-2002, 12:41 AM

true. sooo true
when someone says gtr. this image of a skyline pops up into your head. but yah the vibe gtr is just stupid.
comon pontiac you can do better then to copy another cars famous name.
however i forgot that in japan gtr is not a big word. they just call it 'R'.
to them GTR is too long a word. i know you guys think its stupid only three word. but when you say GTR in japanese its like 7 characters, "gitiaru". and japanese people like to shorten words up like "lanevo, inteR, 86, seven (rx7)" so they say R for GTR

TatII · 01-25-2002, 02:04 AM

that is also very true. lolz they call the skyline (gitiaru) the old 83 corollas (hachi roku) the lancer evo (lan evo) yeah i get the idea. lolz

wagon/sports car hybrid? Nissan produce the stagea wagon that gets to wear the GT-R badge, but that houses the same engine and similar/same drive train as the GT-R

but seee that one is like a wolf in sheeps clothing. it still have many GT-R components in it. sooo there its really a GT-R for a man who likes to race with his family i the car. lolz but the pontiac got nothing~!! nothing!!! okay its nimble for a van type of car. but its slow~~!! has no hp. its just wrong to call something like that a GT-R. see the CLK GT-R that Benz made for the Le mans. that sucka was fast sooo id di'nt mind. but this is a joke~
