What did GM and Toyota Contribute To Vibe Concept

[ragingfish]

I was browsing the NUMMI site tonight, and came across a press release regarding the start of production of the Vibe and Corolla. It finally reveals what GM and Toyota each contributed to the development of the Vibe:"For the first time, with the Pontiac Vibe, GM proposed the overall vehicle concept and provided its design, while Toyota engineered and developed the vehicle..."Also noteworthy, this 1/2002 article also mentions something we all knew from the beginning:"The Pontiac Vibe defies the traditional vehicle classification. It has a spacious interior in the disguise of a compact car, with features of a sports car, sport wagon, and SUV all at the same time. It has received considerable praise from the automotive press since its unveiling at the Detroit Motor Show a year ago."Yay, the mystery is solved!

GM & Toyota have had a joint Venture at the plant for many years this is the old Van nuys california plant that was almost shut down they made the Camaro ,Firebird there. before GM phased out all of the rear drive cars. correct me if im wrong.
