FactBuilt with Toyota beside the Matrix, this Vibe was Pontiac's last new model and the brand's only car left for 2010.
The Vibe was redesigned with the Toyota Matrix for the 2009 model year and debuted at the December 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show, built from February 2008 until August 2009, shortly before the Pontiac brand was wound down. Based on the Toyota Matrix and Corolla (E140), it kept the GT and all-wheel-drive versions and introduced two new four-cylinder engines, a 1.8 litre 2ZR-FE and a 2.4 litre 2AZ-FE.

Owning one
An estimate, for the 1.8 (2ZR-FE) trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.
