    I tell what would be cool is if you stick with the gtp drivetrain and figure out some way to make it AWD. I think some of the vibes were AWD, you could probably figure out some way to use the differential out of it... but idk, prolly more work then i'd put into a GP. BUY A G8!

    The Vibe had a Toyota engine and transmission, slight difference there.

    The Volvos and I think the Aztec used an AWD version of the 4T65E. There's been talk of retrofitting a GP, but I don't know that anyone's actually done it.

    The transfer portion of it is weak, and it's still biased as FWD until it starts slipping. Only then does power get transferred to the rear wheels.

    still back to my case i think it would be better cost friendly and parts both right up from the GXP if you bought a wreck. All wheel drive has been discussed but dont plan on it being anything like a subie or eveo its FWD biased like the others said. I still say find a GXP wreck keep all the good stuff and sell the body panels and whatever else you dont need.
