It's horrible. There are people singing about how awesome the Vibe is. And a bunch of painters and such doing the same while drawing the Vibe.

i havent read up on it yet but doesnt it have awd now with a SUB 200hp engine?

 

[Mook]

people are actually excited for this

AWD for sure, not too certain on the power though. The guy talking right now looks like a retarded version of Johnny Knoxville.

"It's about time Pontiac got excited about the Vibe, it's a great car, the owners already know it, now it's time for Pontiac to be proud of their car, because this is NOT a Toyota, and it's time for Pontiac to let people know that this is a Pontiac."

Oh boy. :bsflag:

During the reveal, an engineer said that the entire powertrain was Toyota, which was no surprise.

Yea, I've had someone argue with me that they ONLY buy american cars when they were tooling around in a Vibe.

I told them. That car shares the same drivetrain as the toyota matrix and it basically just a toyota.

"No, Its a pontiac, I only buy american made cars"

Whateeverrrrr dumbass.

GM loves fooling people into "buying american"

Check out the Saturn VUE redline.

Its a Honda engine and Drivetrain.

And if I recall there are a few other instances of this.


It would be one thing if they did what Ford did and stuff thier american stuff into a Jap mobile. Like the Nissan Quest. its just a Windstar at heart.
