Hi I just got a new 2006 Vibe 2wd Base model

Post by BarkBuster »

after alot of reseach online I was gonna go with a Honda Fit but the your gonna pay over sticker attiude pissed me off so I liked the Toyota Matrix with the fold down seats and the hard plastic backs. Great for gear and a million anchors to tie stuff down. All the toyota dealers in my area said all the have is 4wd autos in stock. all I wanted was the 5speed stick 2wd base. after a day of not finding what I wanted I stopped in my local pontiac dealer to check out the Vibe. WHAT THE @*&^% ? This is a Toyota Matrix and they have a 2wd stick in stock . Cool and it looks better than the Matrix too. Add a GM discount and a grand in rebates. Easy sell Love it so far Bark Buster
