Autoblog's Chris Shunk reviews the Pontiac Vibe GT

[tgagneguam]

...Both GM and Toyota did a nice job modernizing the Vibe/Matrix and the update couldn't have come at a better time. Gas prices are at historic all-time highs and smaller, more utilitarian vehicles are becoming more popular. That description fits the Vibe to a tee, and we wouldn't be at all surprised if sales increased as a result...

A reasonable closing that nicely describes the 2009 Vibe. I'm glad it's in the Pontiac portfolio, even if I never intend to buy one.

They should do a RHD version as a Holden for Australia.

They should probably build it off of one of their own platforms first. WHile they are at, they can use GM engines.

The styling for this thing just doesn't do it for me. For the most part, I can understand how some might find it attractice, but the rear needs a redo.

That said, given current gas prices, having the Vibe as a part of the new, (actually) performance oriented pontiac, seems like an even smarter move everyday. I agree with the author sentiment's, it should sell well.

I am so tired of the Vibe. GM needs to move on from Toyota.

Ummmm, lets see....it lost 22hp, gained 300 pounds, and became really ugly. You certainly see the Toyota influence.
