What % of Pontiac Vibe sales are AWD?

 

I dont know, but I dont see a lot of AWD models.

 

Oh well, back to the drawing board. It is still a pretty nice car though.

 

Does not suprise me, same thing Chrysler decided with the PT.

 

I saw a charcol colored HHR when I picked up my Tahoe at the dealer the other day. It looks even better in person.

 

If I'm not mistaken, Delta isn't engineered up for AWD.

There are a couple of FWD chassis (including Chi) which are.

 

Well, in New England here, it seems every other Vibe I see is AWD. I know where I work, the Vibe is far and away our best seller (which sucks because profit margins are naturally tight), and we sell 60%+ as AWD.

 

AWD HHR for $1,900* more than the FWD would sell great here in the North East. A Cheap AWD vehicle is just what Chevy needs.



*I used $1900 because that is what the AWD option costs on an STS now.

 

Delta isnt engineered for AWD. The whole rear suspension is a solid axle. It would take a whole new chassis.
Perhaps if HHR was off Epsilon, yes, but not Delta.

 

This car would be so awesome with awd it looks killer.

 

...Just like there's no new Camaro, right?

Sorry had to throw some obvious hint in there.

 

It seems that DCX has been paying attention. The Dodge Calibre is going to be available with AWD and Jeep is getting a Vibe-type vehicle as well.

It seems tragic to be that GM couldn't have replaced the Toyota-sourced Vibe with a Delta based crossover - a sort of non-retro stablemate for Chevy's HHR.

 

If it had AWD it would really need a larger, more powerful engine.

 

The Vibe has AWD, and doesnt have a powerful engine.
AWD would have to be standard for 2.4 models only.

 

True but that doesn't make it right. 123hp and an autoamtic just blows (Vibe/Matrix) Can you imgaine the pathetic passing power? The words overworked and struggling come to mind here.
