The Toledo Blade - Calling all Vibe/Matrix owners in Ohio...

Post by mkowdley »

Hello all,I was recently contacted by Ryan Smith at the Toledo Blade (http://www.toledoblade.com/). Mr. Smith is looking to chat regarding GM's decision to stop producing the Vibe with Vibe/Matrix fans from Ohio (especially Toledo / Northwest Ohio).If you're interested in sharing your thoughts with him, you can contact him atryansmith@theblade.com or by telephone 419-724-6103.If you're interested, do so quickly, as the piece for the Blade is due to coincide with NAIAS (January 11th). Thanks!Mike K.

My best guess is that it wasn't making a profit for GM anyway. However, I wonder what the upfront cost was for GM to bow out of the joint venture.
