Production numbers of 2009/10 Vibe

[zardoz]

Hello, does anyone know the production numbers of 09/10 Vibes, especially how many 09/10 GT models were build at Nummi?Here are the numbers up to 2005: http://www.nummi.com/facts.phpRegards,BTW: Great forum!!!!

I never realized how small the Vibe part of the NUMMI production was in 2002-2005. I suppose it was similar or worse in 2006-2010. At that level one wonders what GM's pullout really had to do with the NUMMI closing.

Amazing that the chart did not show any Toyota Matrix cars Maybe they were Japan made during those years!BTW... Welcome to this forum, and post pics of your ride!

Thank you!NUMMI built over 72,000 vibes in 2008see: http://www.nummi.com/vibe.phpMy car dealer told me that the GT was 1in20 of Vibes produced.If we assume the production rate was similar to the years before (around 70 000 vehicles) and my dealer is correct we have around 3500 Vibe GT for 2009.Perhaps someone has more accurate figures.Here is my GT:

Tough to tell at this point the numbers actually produced in the last couple of years. Access to any of that information for me disappeared April 1st. It definitely wasn't many though. The percentage was pretty consistant through out the life of the Vibe at anywhere between 20% and 30% of total car production at NUMMI (trucks were built on a separate line, so I'm not including trucks). The actually numbers did vary depending on total output. An average day (2 shifts) would be between 250 and 300 Vibes, could be more or less. Things slowed down a bit at the end of '08 and even more so at the beginning of '09. Vibe production was close to half during this time. You could always go through GM's sales data found at http://www.gm.com/corporate/in...s.jsp. That goes back to '02, but thats deliveries, not actual production, and theres no way to tell model year. Wish I could help more, but I don't have access to those numbers anymore. Perhaps someone else here knows if it can be found though.Quote, originally posted by tpollauf »As the owner of a 2009 Vibe GT, I too would be curious as to the more recent numbers.

Welcome to this forum, and post pics of your ride!That chart didn't show the Matrix because the Matrix was never built at NUMMI. NUMMI did build some parts for the Matrix, but it was built at TMMC in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.

My recollection is that the 2008's were a short build year. The 2009 was "normal", and then the 2010 build was short.
