This isn't just something that was someone's oppinion, I remember reading several articles to the same effect back then. I think it was JD Power that had the numbers, but this is what I could find. It's a bit unnecessarly harsh on Toyota, but it does highlight how bad the perception gap still is.]]>Oct 9th 2007 11:37PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/leaked-2009-pontiac-vibe/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/leaked-2009-pontiac-vibe/Oct 9th 2007 12:27PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/leaked-2009-pontiac-vibe/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/leaked-2009-pontiac-vibe/

Let's hope the GT & XRS versions get something a little more special than the yota 2.4L from the tC & Camry.]]>Oct 9th 2007 12:28PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/leaked-2009-pontiac-vibe/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/leaked-2009-pontiac-vibe/
I wonder what the power train will be for the GT model... All of those rumors about the Corolla getting a v6 make me wonder if the Vibe GT might not end up with Toyota’s 3.5l and AWD! That would be SICK.]]>Oct 9th 2007 12:30PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/leaked-2009-pontiac-vibe/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/leaked-2009-pontiac-vibe/Oct 9th 2007 4:59PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/leaked-2009-pontiac-vibe/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/leaked-2009-pontiac-vibe/Oct 9th 2007 12:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/leaked-2009-pontiac-vibe/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/leaked-2009-pontiac-vibe/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NUMMI

I like the less-plastic clad body. Looks like a nice update.]]>Oct 9th 2007 12:45PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/leaked-2009-pontiac-vibe/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/leaked-2009-pontiac-vibe/
I want something that is inexpensive, can haul stuff, sips fuel and isn't a mini-ute. If the interior is up to scratch, I’d definitely put this on my shopping list.

Not exactly a runaway hit. In fact, Toyota sells a few more of the Matrix.]]>Oct 9th 2007 1:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/leaked-2009-pontiac-vibe/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/leaked-2009-pontiac-vibe/
