Pontiac Vibe Not a Pontiac

Actually it is a GM and Toyota joint venture and built in Freemont Ca.

So is it a Toyota quality built or GM quality?

Thanks,

Simon

I've had mine for seven months (7k miles) with no problems, but only time will tell. The chassis engine and tranny are sourced from the Toyota Corolla, so I am betting on Toyota quality.

I've had my 2003 Vibe since October of 2002. No serious problems yet...I love this car. The only problem we've had is the first Delco CD player had to be replaced.

I am totally happy with the car, it's handling, parking, everything.

So then is a Toyota Matrix not a Toyota, but a GM?

Tis a puzzlement!

The Matrix is assembled in by Toyota in Canada.

Toyota and GM have been cooperating for awhile now, Think of the old Toyota Corolla and the and the Chevy Prism.

Toyota also sells a Cavalier in Japan, rebadged and right hand drive.

I suppose you drive a Mazda. Right? By the way, what is this " moey " that is being dumped in the Japanese economy ?

The matrix/Vibe is built by North Americans in North America. Just like the Civic, Camry, Accourd, Corolla, and Rav4 -and many other "japanese" cars (and german, and Korean?) while the Ford Transit was made in Turkey, and now Spain - and many Ford and Chrysler cars are Mexican - - - - - - - .

/is/ built? I think not. Pontiac was shut down in 2010 and the Matrix was canc'd by Toyota last year.

OK - WAS built.
