Pontiac's Vibe not as hot as hoped

I wish we had Fark-esque icons for use here. I so want to slap the [OBVIOUS] tag into this thread. 
That thing looks almost as bad as the Aztec. The Pontiac design boys need to lay off whatever the hell they're smoking. Let's hope they don't mess up the GTO too badly.

I agree, with the body-colored cladding option and the 17" wheels, the Vibe looks better than the Matrix.

I was about to post that exact same pic.
It looks okay.

Trying to decide which one looks better is like picking between two pieces of my poo. Sure ever now and again one isn't so bad looking but its still poo .
.ok so nothing other than looks? hmm... they price it higher than a toyota equivalent then scratch their heads when it doesn't sell hot? riiiight......
Even though I personally think the Vibe looks a little better than the Matrix, I would still buy the Matrix instead... just to get the resale value of Toyota.... I never had much confidence with the Pontiac's brand name anyways...
The problem is, you can't expect everyone to know that the Vibe and the Matrix are identical cars.... so when it comes time to sell the car, I would expect the Matrix would be much easier to sell (for higher value) since it has a Toyota name on it...

I don't know how it is in the States, but the Vibe GT costs around $30k CDN here before taxes, which is pretty damn expensive for what it is! You could buy a brand new 2002 Maxima for the same price! That would be a reason why it isn't selling so well.
And I'm not to impressed with the Matrix either. My friend has one, and while its a solid vechicle, the engine is a little buzzy (130hp version) and the radio looks totally out of place. Now I'm not one that cares about interiors that much, but the radio looks totally out of place from the rest of the car...it looks like the Delco units used in old Chyrslers and Chevys.

Not likely, due to the GTO is going to be based off a currently produced car, the Holden Monaro in Australia.

Opinions are like a$$holes
I like the Vibe better too, but...
That would motivate me to get the Matrix instead, if I was gonna get a new car. I'll probably get a Golf GTi tho.
