I trust ABS will still be available in the disc/drum configuration? When I saw ABS dropped from the list, I was thinking "that was a fricken bonehead move!" And, the optional cargo cover: Please GM, for the love of whoever, tell me that you have a new cargo cover in the works. I can't stomach the thought of having to pay extra for that cheap, flimsy piece of crap that borders on being worthless.

They weren't able to work out some issues with emissions, it was going to cost them more money than it was worth to correct the issues... I can assume that's a Toyota thing there, not sure though... Anybody know if they'll have AWD or XRS flavors of the Matrix next year?

I figured as much, it wouldn't make sense to have no Vibes equipped as such but they could have the Matrix.

Hello everyone...This is just a thought but if Pontiac doesn't fade off into history like Oldsmobile in the coming years, could the loss of the GT be ushering in the GXP with an ecotec engine? They're introducing the Solstice GXP in 07, right? Maybe they're cross that engine over into the Vibe (in '08 or late '07) as well. Yeah, it's mostly just wishful thinking but would be cool to see.Dave
