I bought this same car also - '09 Vibe GT in Red Hot Metallic. I LOVE THIS CAR!!! This is the best car I have had in 20+ years. It has plenty of power, handles very well, and gets much better mileage than most reviews (I regularly get 27mpg in normal driving, and 31+mpg on the highway). I drive this car on the German Autobahn, and it's great! It's a real shame that GM ditched Pontiac, and there will be no more new Vibes.
In my opinion I liked the 2005-2008 version better, new vibe seems to have a higher looking frame and the back seems a bit too dull. However the new vibes cheaper now and they still look sharp in red and dark blue. Go VIBE !
Buaaaaaaahahahha what a joke is that new Vibe... at least the old model look similar to the old matrix but this new one doesn't look so hot like the new matrix 09
Looks like Pontiac designers are still trying to get the front end right, but the profile view (detail at 1:08) shows how it's a awkward mix borrowed from the G6 and mixed in w/ the old Vibe style. Current Vibe owner here, not convinced I like what I see yet.
That's because it's stock footage supplied by Pontiac for use by news media. The intention is for a reporter to do a voice-over while the video runs showing the car in action. What AutoBlog--and a bunch of others--have done is posted this stock footage by Pontiac without even adding any commentary. Which is OK, I suppose, but it is really an abuse of materials, as much as those websites that post press photos provided by manufacturers or reprint press releases. This is good?

I have a 2009 2.4L base model, and my best friend has a 2005 base model. I love these cars :)

Haha the VibeGT in this is automatic. And the newer engines are downgraded and don't have lift. Might as well get an 03'-05' model.

Will toyota matrix eventually adopt the same shape?

They're both based on the Camry platform, so yes they will look similar.

Yes they are both based on the COROLLA platform. But I'm sure it won't sound like that.
