No big change, looks alright though. The GT model is returning.

 

That would be a much better candidate for the 260hp turbo motor than the HHR SS.

 

I thought the Matrix got killed off?

 

Yes it would. Give the new SRT-4 some competition as well

 

GXP Vibe?

 

We're speculating that it'll have a version a Toyota's 1.8l 2ZR-FE L4 currently under the hood of the Scion xD and also likely to power the next-gen Corolla, whenever that thing finally comes here.

 

GM does not have the control they'd like to pick and chose.

It is whatever Toyota sticks in them.

 

Well I think while the platform may be old the exterior looks quite nice. Much better than the current Vibe or Matrix.

 

Oh, this is not entirely "all new." It is an update of the existing.

 

looks much better

 

Rather unfortunately. The Toyota 4cyl, however, is what has been getting the Vibe the high economy GM is starting to re-brag about lately, but the newer versions of the Ecotec are also quite stingy. A Vibe GXP is begging for the HHR SS's plant.

 

After the dissapointing G8 and G5, finally something new that looks like it belongs in Pontiac's line up.

But now the name? Will it still be 'Vibe', that would contrdict Pontiac's Alpha-numeric trend. So you've got G5, G6, G8, Vibe, and Solstice.

The 'excitement devision' deserves better.....(time to kill it?)

 

I've never been a Vibe fan. It's had a pretty nice interior, but so did the Aztek. But I have to say, the new exterior looks great.

It's not enough for me to forgo buying something like a Ute, a Challenger, or a Camaro, but it's very good looking nonetheless.

 

I'm not "feelin" it. There is a long list of cars I'd get before this one...

 

Though I wish there was the option to buy it without the hood scoops, which make the front end too busy.
