Never seen one... Like the taillamps though! Really is a Vibe badged as a Toyota but the front fascia still has the Pontiac Arrowhead on it. Some kind of export?

I think the Vltz Z is the 2zz or GT version isn't it? Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny when I first saw them and they still had the Pontiac arrow eblem in the front! lol As for the tail lamps, those are just covers like Satur9 has, he even got them from an overseas parts company I believe I recall him saying. I don't think chrome anywhere on this car really goes with anything. There's not enough there to match it to. Just my $0.02!

Looks to me like they don't really have our Pontiac emblem up front... It seems more some sort of silver thing that looks like a Pontiac arrowhead that fills in the space but it's not exactly an authentic arrowhead... I guess that happened because Toyota wasn't willing to put effort into a creating a redesigned bumper for those things.

I think the Voltz would be an over-seas edition... Rumor says Japan. Don't take my word for it though.

I think they sold a (removed) load of those suckers in Russia too, a good number of my google image searches end up being on .ru domains.

And I believe the front logo is supposed to be a V for Voltz.
