Vehix says Vibe second best Pontiac ever

Post by VibeMike »

Vehix.com listed the five best Pontiacs of all time. Listed as finishing second overall alltime is the Vibe. Only the immortal Pontiac GTO tops the Vibe. Nothing but kind words from vehix about our favorite car!

When the second best Pontiac is actually a Toyota, that says something about how the brand was managed over the years.Second to the Goat, btw, is A-OK. Very respectable company.

Pontiac has always been the second best to Chevrolet though really. I mean I prefer their stylings more, but underneath they're all GM :/

Thats rare.When I talked to him about the car he said that a member of his "Trans Am" club in upstate New York had the ultimate Pontiac.a 1967 Trans Am convertible... Pontiac only made 2 of them.The other is at the GM museum in Dearborn.Can you imagine that?Doesn't say much when Toyota just issued the largest recall in all of North America.

Which GTO? The 2005 or so? That would be a Holden, correct?

It is a shame that the 2nd Generation Vibe was short lived. I was really hoping to see what changes may of been made later on and if ppularity really took off.

Perhaps what I'll miss most of all would have been the Solstice redesign - if they could have fixed the lack of trunk space and given it a folding hard top while keeping the same beautiful bod (but please integrate a license plate holder in a lower valance!).

Well, if you're going back into the past probably my all time favorite Pontiac is the '71 Firebird Formula.
