There is a GenVibe Facebook site. I tried to join, but it apparently is not well attended. Does anyone know the contact person/administrator?

Re: The Final End to Pontiac (tsubaru)

None of the posts in this "Final End" forum seem to be aware of the "Last Production Vibe" forum posts, also in the Latest News section. Fantastic story of how it was literally tracked down as the last Vibe GT, only to find it was the last off the line at the NUMMI plant, signed ...

Re: (DressedInBlack)

So you worked at NUMMI. I did manage to get with their Administrative Assistant, Sarah Rogers, she was thrilled that I was able to get the last Vibe. She was working on getting the NUMMI plant going again for a new all electric car, joint project between Toyota and Tesla Motors, but not much seems t...

Re: Last Production Vibe Found & Purchased (DaveGirondaSr)

Still pissed they stopped making Pontiacs. At least for Vibe lovers its sister, the Matrix, will continue the design changes, beyond the last production 2010 Vibe.I still have a 2003-2005 front 2-piece bra, black in mint condition, originally around $80, and a 2006 1-CD radio that when new I changed...

Re: (IMakeVibes)

The markings were actually after assembly. It is the last Vibe, not the last Pontiac, which was a 2010 Pontiac G6 in Michigan during Nov-2009 (could also be out there since it went to a rental fleet). The VIN number is out of sequence, it was not the last numbered Vibe (white), but the last one off ...

Re: (ou.grizzly)

Ooopps is right, I thought he meant the license plate, as asked about in earlier posts. But the chrome gearshift plate is one of the several accessories still available at the GM dealerships (don't know how much longer). I ordered it and had the plaques added, then it has mounting tapes to attach it...

Re: Last Production Vibe Found & Purchased (ou.grizzly)

Actually, Arizona provides two plates, but only requires a rear plate, so I have a second one in the huge file I have on this long venture.For those interested in the Gunther Gifts plate frame, it was too big on top so had a friend use a metal belt grinder to work the top & side palm trees down ...

Already in one day there has been 15 replies, thank you all.To reply to all, I have combined my comments as follows:I plan to hold on to the Vibe as long as I can, maybe give to my 8-month old granddaughter when she graduates, unless I get an offer I can't refuse or a Pontiac museum really wants it....
