I have read a few stories that the 08 Vibe will be the same but the 09 Vibe will be the new style.

I seen a couple of post on this site indicating that 2008 was the last year for this style of Vibe so I assumed this met the Matrix 2008 was changing as well. I guess one should not assume.

According to Edmunds, MSNauto and a couple of other sites, the 2008 will remain unchanged. They already have the 2008 model listed and it's the same body style/interior. Other sources (a NUMMI "insider") recently posted that they are gearing up the plant for the all new 2009 model Vibe and Corolla. Sales of the 2009 Vibe/Corolla are expected to begin in Mid '08 (maybe as early as April) and run through 2011.
