...LOL.

Flyaway makes me laugh. I've had my 09 Vibe GT for 8 months and nothing has happened to mine.

It's in perfect condition. :]]

I love my car. I could care less that it's 70 percent Toyota or that its a Pontiac.

I have a 2009 Vibe and I LOVE IT..... I love GM cars too. I'll only buy GM products.

@Debbielh0226 I guess you haven't gotten it past 150,000km or so yet. That's when they start to fail. I'm a mechanic for GM Canada, and I've got to say that even though they drive comfortably, these cars are nothing but a money pit for our customers.

@89leviathan Great ! so that will increase the value of my Geo Metro made in Japan by Suzuki !

[89leviathan]

@emforty2 all it did was increase the value of the pontiac name.

@89leviathan  great but Pontiac is DEAD

and Toyota lives another day

[89leviathan]

@emforty2 Didnt bother me. i got a GM car with the reliability of a Toyota and the awesome look of a Pontiac. win win all round. plus when i compared prices in my area the vibe was 2-3grand cheaper then the exact same car with the toyota badge on it. Plus 2 years of onstar, and 2 years xm radio for free with a better warrenty then what toyota offered. Made sense to get the vibe over the ugly looking matrix :)

@cozumelove agreed. i had my 09 vibe for over 2 years with 80,000kms on it and notta thing has gone wrong with it. Still runs and starts like the day i got it. Great car love it!!
