As many of you know, the Pontiac Vibe is the twin of the Toyota Matrix. For that reason, I'd like you to be aware of the new Toyota Matrix discussion on the Hatchbacks Message Board. Also, I eventually hope to link this discussion to the Hatchbacks message board, and that discussion over here..., since these vehicles fall into both categories. In the meantime, please note: I'm going to link the Toyota Matrix discussion into the Additional Resources Box on the left side for the page. Hope this is helpful.

Autoweek says they will sell all of these they can make. For such a guaranteed success, there isn't much information/discussion out there (here or other sites). I remember it was the same way with the PT Cruiser...

Am I the only one who thinks that Pontiac's Vibe web site is USELESS? 'My Art', 'My Music' & 'My Stuff' ????? MY GOD! Were they on drugs when they laid out the site contents? Just try to get any real, useful information by digging through the slow-loading B.S. and music, and GIF's of pierced tongues and skateboarders! I understand they are targeting a young, trendy, 'Hip' demographic, but hey, this IS still a car, not an ad for baggy-crotch jeans! I notice that Toyota has done a much more credible job with the pre-release publicity on the Matrix. Sorry for the rant, but it is VERY frustrating trying to find solid info on the Vibe on that site. |

| I agree with ya on the site. Once I saw it I just figured that the car MUST not have been designed for me and I should look elsewhere. | |
| It could be that Ford finally fired the guy/girl that "created" the '00 Focus brochure and he/she now works in the GM marketing dept. | |

The argument continues: is this "clone" of a Vibe a wagon or a SUV? Chicago Tribune Automotive Notebook Column Steve Host Vans, SUVs and Aftermarket & Accessories Message Boards |

| Saw a Vibe today, can't say where, I know I'll get some grief from a few friends but I'm planning on getting one of these. Four wheel discs, 17 / 50 Z rated tires, just the right size for me. Was planning on a 02 Alero just to placate my cheap side but the Vibe with a 6 speed can make me a whole lot happier. | |

6-speed? Maybe in the Vibe GT accompanied by the 180-hp engine. You'll be paying extra for that trim. I just got one of their flyers. It says that Vibe arrives early in '02 as a '03 model. They included some close-ups of the dash. The radio and control console are extremely cheap looking: typical Pontiac (especially the sound system with those ugly grey buttons!!!). The tail lights look just horrible . IMHO On the other hand its roominess is amazing. The cargo area is huge!! And it gets the 110-volt AC power outlet in the instrument panel. Also the DVD-based navigation system as an option! Not bad. How much will they charge for it? |

Pontiac finally updated their website....it still sucks, but I managed to find the specs for the Vibe: http://www.pontiac.com/vibe/iepopper_specs.html
I'm pissed. The Vibe AWD is a completely different option package than the base and GT versions. It only comes with the 130 hp engine and a 4 speed auto! Looks like I'm scratching the vibe off my list. I would have sprung for an AWD GT in a second....6 speed, 180 hp, AWD....ahhhhhh. Woulda been heaven. Oh well, such is life I guess. With any luck the 2004 model will give me what I want, that's when I was planning on buying anyway. |
