Could this be the next Pontiac Vibe?

Post by GoLowDrew »

It's actually a "Chevrolet" concept, but the body lines look so much like the Vibe/Matrix prototype that's already posted with black tape all over it.Chevy ConceptPontiac Vibe Spy Shot

since when is swiss cheese popular in the automotive industry? I'll have to say that's a "could be". Toyota is supossed to have a role in the next incarnation of the Vibe so I really doubt that GM would put Chevy anywhere near anything that Toyota touches.

i honestly think that chevy concept looks more like an equinox more then a vibe...vibes are more sleaker..specially in the front..besides..chevy never had a "vibe" like car..only pontiac and toyota..so i dont think it'll be the next vibe

Looks larger than Vibe-sized to me, but I dunno... That concept looks more like something to compete with whatever that Mazda thing is that's got the third row seat...

I wouldn't be surprised. Look at the G5 and the Cobalt base model. They even have the same tail lights, the only difference is the front bumper. This is probably a Chevrolet version of the new Vibe.
