Local auto parts store chooses Vibe

Post by petervivian »

There is an Advance Auto Parts store near my house. They just bought two new Vibe in white color. The salesman said these cars are gas saver, very spacious for moving staffs around and delivery. But I guess their old pickups should do these jobs better except for the gas. Here's a picture:

yeah the advanced auto parts around here have the new vibes as well i though that was pretty cool we use ford rangers since we take 55 gallon drums of antifreeze and other liquids to some of our accounts and i dont think they would be nice in the back of the vibe would be easy haha

Qwest, a medical lab in our region, and Honeywell, are two companies I know of that use Vibes as delivery/maintenance vehicles. They make a lot of sense for this purpose. A pharmacy and a carpet place use the Chevy HHR with the optional metal back instead of back windows.One strength of the Vibe platform notes a major difference between Detroit and Japan. The Japanese are better at making one model appeal (with more options and different modifications) to different buyers without making it totally obvious. The Detroit companies either make three different models to do the job of one, or do obvious re-badging (a Buick that is a Chevy with leather seats) that is laughable. With the different engines, AWD, GT and so on, the Vibe could appeal to economy, sporty, delivery, "cargo haulers," potential SUV buyers and small families at an affordable price point. Name one Detroit model that does that.
