It's close.... but not quite right. Shape is just off in too many parts. Front end, wrong slope to the sides and roof.... rear window styling...

Front end, wrong slope to the sides and roof.... rear window styling...Well judging by the text contained on the page, I would say it's someone who tried to model the Vibe in 3D Studio (perhaps someone without a ton of experience) and given that I'd say it's not bad. It just looks like they missed a couple of things. A little tweaking and they've got it down. To be honest I don't think I could have done it that well. There's a lot of detail there to model.

yeah...color's cool...but i don't like the front end either. its too minivan-like. i'm biased to the 03-04 front endother than that, pontiac's got to come up with something more radical, with all these lookalikes (caliber) coming out

More than likely just a Vibe enthusiast. There is no reason to believe this is anything other than a moderately accurate rendering of the existing model. No need to get all bent out of shape.

yeah, it is a 3DS model and the guy want's $150.00 for it. I don't do cars, but I could do an equal job given time, which I never seem to have enough of.bobbtw, I use Cinema 4D to model in
