2009 Pontiac Vibe at LA Auto Show by Edmunds' Inside Line

[f1nuts]

The Vibe will soon be gone. G.M. has informed Toyota that they are pulling out of NUMMI. G.M. is insane to walk away from Toyota at this point.

I got a Vibe 2009 model SC1 with 17 inch rim and the 2.4 engine.

I don't give a shit about the Matrix,i love far better the curve of my Vibe,far better than the overexposed Matrix...everytime i get on the road i see 125 matrix per hour,its like a woman who whent to a party and see all the girls with the same dress then her..so pathétic...VIBE forever...

[omgoodness101]

i want this car soooooo bad! i am in love

[Bigtruck2007]

I rented one of these Boogers and the motor seem to hesitate for nothing. Also had to have the steering wheel in the head-loc while driving on the Highway.

[sebast007]

I believe the motor choices are engines found in the Corolla and the Camry. I drove both of those cars before and found nothing disturbing 'bout them (eccept that the Corrola one was a bit noisyer*).

the VIBE is dead ! the matrix half brother

long live the Matrix the real one !

[cozumelove]

I freakin' love this car.

:]]

I have a red Pontiac Vibe GT

[2009skyline]

@cozumelove do u still have the vibe??? cuase i think thats my next car,,,lol

[cozumelove]

@2009skyline Yes, I do!!

I still love this car and probably even more. Everywhere I go it turns heads whether it is picking up my sister from high school, going to Costco, on the freeway (especially when I pass sports cars), and even when I drive by the Toyota dealership every once in a while. The car picks up pretty fast which is great for merging onto the freeway. And all my friends call my car the "party car" since the seating is spacious and comfy, and the exterior look is a plus. :)

[emforty2]

go get your TOYOTA products at your local GM dealership

get the Vibe

thanks GM for making TOYOTA #1 automaker 2008 on a bad economy GM is talking about

see ya and eat my dust

WAIT FOR THE G3

[icanfeelthebeat]

'admired almost universally as a Japanese-style Alfa Romeo. '

Alfa romeo's are beautiful....this car is nothing, no design value

[GMsucks01]

The matrix will make up the extra cost with its resale value. The matrix looks better

[GMsucks01]

Everyone time you buy this, you are giving Toyota money. Buy it people. your not supporting GM by buying this

[emforty2]

i'm buying the Chevy Aveo then...

[lowincash]

you really hate GM huh? eh i am only buying this car because i like the look over the matrix and it's a couple thousand cheaper plus has a longer warranty. i know it's got the toyota engine and stuff that's the reason i'm going to buy this car.  but your statement is wacky.

[enicolson15]

Why would GM sell it if it did not help them?

[HakemEX]

you really have no life if you made a profile just to hate on GM. You are not funding toyota if you buy this. Your money is going to GM, still. Get your facts straight, dickweed. Nobody likes a hater.

[jorkjica]

Matrix/Vibe is a joint project between Toyota and GM. Go to Wikipedia for the story. This is 'merican made. Test drive one, the 2.4 liter with standard trans is really nice.

[thinkingoutloud39]

nice check mine out

[k9feces]

Feb 2009?  its already being sold.

[k9feces]

This better be alot cheaper than the Matrix

[AlfieWoof]

The Vibe was $800 cheaper than the Matrix. Similar model, same standard equipment, same options.

[k9feces]

The Matrix would makeup for the $800 and then some at resale.

[AlfieWoof]

Perhaps, but it's 6 of one, half dozen of the other. I'd rather save $800 on a new car that I can enjoy now than count on a higher resale value x number of years down the road.

[k9feces]

Plus if you plan on driving a car to the ground like me its worth the savings

[AlfieWoof]

I test drove a 2009 Pontiac Vibe yesterday, and I was quite impressed with its design and overall performance. It compares favorably to others in its class, like Mazda5, Kia Rondo, Nissan Rogue and Toyota Matrix - though let's face it, the Vibe is basically a Matrix with a few improved design changes, but at a better price!

[sleepisyummy]

man that sucks dude. I only have an intake and throttle body on mine. i've ordered a performance chip for it as well. Eventually i'll get an exhaust too.

[sleepisyummy]

performance was on the slow side....since the Vibe never came in any other trims except the base, awd, and gt. The awd is actually slower than the base. But since all performance parts were made by Toyota, you can mod the shit out of the car.

[sleepisyummy]

yeah. Mine's an '03 model as well. I'm just glad its as reliable as it is. All performance parts were made by Toyota.

[sleepisyummy]

haha the most reliable car that pontiac makes is the vibe lol. I own a Vibe, but i agree, pontiac should disappear. However, i love my vibe because there are many upgrades to put on it. Thank you Toyota for saving Pontiac's ass.

[azsapphire87]

wait, what? February 2009? not hardly.  its on sale now, feb-mar 08.

[emforty2]

don't buy Toyota

[WaterFlame957]

Um...No to all of u!!!

[everchanginggirl]

I am not a hater but Pontiac should just disappear- nobody would notice...

[CARFANATIC552]

[Piercito2]
