I heard that ad in central Indiana, too. I DO wonder exactly WHAT 'class' they're talking about!Do Vibe and Matrix constitute a 'class', or are we also comparing other 4-door hatchbacks such as Chrysler PT Cruiser, Mazda 3, VW Golf...

You saw a Vibe commercial? I'm amazed!Honestly though, I am seeing more and more of them around town here.. Mostly 03/04's, but i've seen a good share of 05's as well..

I was watching Formula D on G4 tv about drifting. They had a spoof of one of the announcers thinking his ford could drift. It was parked next to a white Vibe which for most of the 10 min segment of the drift professional bashing the ford, was always in the background. I thought that was pretty cool.

i was watching a rerun of csi:miami...where the csi new york spinoff starts... in one scene, they're interviewing someone at a car rental place, and they're standing next to a vibe. i jumped up and pointed and said 'pontiac vibe!"and my GF looked at me and shook her head.

As for "class" I would put in the same class as the Mazda3, Suzuki Aerio, PT Cruiser, Ford Focus wagon, Jetta wagon, and Kia Spectra wagon...I've been seeing 2005's practically coming out of the woodwork around here, too.

many of the car reviews I read before buying have a new class for mini-suvs or compact-sucs or something like that which they say the vibe falls into
