Why is GM still making the Vibe with them???!?!?!

FYI the new Vibes are ugly from the rear, so-so from the front, yet still no GTI competitor..

I, too, have been seeing this on news stations. It was on CNN's news ticker at the bottom of the screen mostly all day yesterday.

I would say Toyota's unintended accelleration problem with the Tacoma's is much more important than this! If that would gain traction, it could actually tarnish the Sombrero brand.

I haven't heard anything about the buyback program for the tacoma's over rust through issues, though......

That must be a warranty advancement, too.

Kinda like WGA in Windows is an "advantage"

Why would you add a "warranty enhancement" for a "feature" of the subject car? I'm sure up until not the breaking windows was considered a "feature" for better interior ventilation.

Oh, my favorite comment in the whole story..."built by GM"

Shattering windows will lend much-needed excitement to two of the dreariest vehicles ever to creep down a road.

I bet when this is annouced as a GM recall of the Vibe you will see it plastered all over the evening news but Toyota will not get even a mention. Rotten communist american media that love to tear our country down while tell us how the rest of the world is enlightened.

My '72 C-10 pickup was made at Fremont. So I would like to see Fremont (NUMMI) either be a straightup GM plant again, or sell it to Toyota. Just my thoughts ...

Just something about sleeping with the enemy I don't like ...

Man, I totally agree with you. This joint venture should have ended a long time ago. As far as I'm concern, I don't acknowledge the Vibe as a Pontiac anyway. I think I have expressed enough times that I hate Toyota and this is nothing but a Toyota with a few small differences.

I will say, this recall notice is great news to my ears. Sorry for the owners of those vehicles, but I'm sure they bought them thinking Toyota is perfect and can do no wrong!!

The writer should add "but design by Toyota."

PA Dweller · 04-10-2008, 07:18 PM

Why does GM still sell the Vibe? They have the HHR now, so why not kill the Vibe and direct people's interest to the HHR?

I didn't get a chance to ask about the recall at work yesterday. But after reviewing the parts involved, it looks like a supplier issue to me. I could be wrong though. Definitely something out of our control.

Because the media loves their Toyota Camrys, Nissan Altimas and Honda Accords, but hate our Chevy Malibus, Ford Fusions and Chrysler Sebrings.

You know somethings wrong when you hear TOYOTA NEWS at a GM WEBSITE.
