Default Pontiac Vibe. . .Not Bad (Pics)

Well, it happened again. . .I decided to allow another dealership to "showcase" their car in front of my office. I had a Snap Orange VW Beetle Turbo for nearly two weeks and I had no less than 5 dealerships calling me up and asking what it would take for them to have one of their cars on the lawn!

So, after the Bettle left us. . . All of my employees were very sad to see it go! The local Cadillac-Pontiac-GMC-Oldsmobile dealer called me and asked if they could bring something now! I said sure, bring something that is new and bold!

I was thinking they would bring the new Caddy CTS in that funky orange hue, but no! It was the Vibe. I thought at first is was a mini-Aztek! But I was amazed to see some really cool "innovations" and the price was unreal! At just $19,500 you get automatic, power sunroof, CD with cassette, PW, PL, cruise/tilt and lots more plus keyless entry!

Here are some pics:






I know this is the equivalent of a Toyota Matrix which would make me think it's a great value as far as reliability is concerned.

I'd take the Matrix over the Vibe.

Yeah, that car is pretty cool. I'd like to see those on the road. I like seeing diversity on the streets. I just don't like gross polluters.

The Matrix definately wins on styling. The Vibe has all that cheap plastic molding which has ruined the styling of Pontiacs for years.
