Photochop 2009 Vibe

Post by GoLowDrew »

I have not kept up in this forum, so not sure if this was posted. It's a photochop, but I'm not sure how much is really real on the next Vibe.

Not sure if he created it or someone else did. Again, not sure if this was based on the spy photos that's out.224hp and 30mpg

looks way too much like a mazda 3 sedan mixed with the wagon. Too many cars are cookie cutters these days. I missed my calling. I could steal a front end of a car from this line, a middle section from that line and back from yet another line and look it's a brand new crossover/aquamarine/sportutility/urban utility/hunting machine?? PAY ME!!

Interesting... Not feelin' it though.That roofline is a bit ridiculous, how many people bought the Vibe because it was easy to get in and out of? Guess they won't be repeat buyers as plenty will end up with head injuries trying to get in and out of the back seat... It will be interesting to see what it really looks like. Whoever did that did a good job though.

With the position of the rear door in relation to the wheel wells I don't see how you could sit in the back seat at all unless you were 4 feet tall...LOL.

Holy crap, I didn't notice that! What the??? How are people supposed to use the back seat with useless doors like that? Looks like one must be a contortionist to climb in back there. If the back seat is going to be as useless as that of a 90's Geo Storm, they might as well take out those rear doors. (Excuse my crappy GIMP'ing, folks. )Thank god these pics ain't for real... Or I hope they aren't.

Feh, I wouldn't buy that. Where's the rear cargo area? What's with the laid-back Civic windshield? Car looks like it had 3 metric tons dropped on it to compress it like that. That's not a Vibe...

The Front looks like that Aussie Grand Prix (Commadore I think???) lol, It's too short for a 4-door and too long for a 3-door Could be a neat Pontiac... just not a vibe

That has to be a photo chop, there is no way you would want to design a car like that. I mean the door handle being above where the rear strut should be? Ontop of that you would have to place the seats before the wheel wells or after it, from where that car is riding there is no freeking way you could place a rear passanger seat ontop of the wheel wells...not to mention you would have zero cargo space in that thing....so why make it a 5 door? Its obviously a chopped photo as the rear hacth resembles a Mazda 3

Oh yeah, no way is that thing real... The person behind the computer didn't think deeply enough about functionality. That car would SUCK if it ever came to production in that form...

I'd totally buy that if it came out. Just maybe change the rear window a little, like raise it up instead of the same as a focus.

We got a look at this in an earlier thread and I think there's some styling hints in the British Toyota Compressor that we may see in the next Vibe:

The original 4 and 2 door pics that started this post could be a hatch version of the G5. Maybe the G6 There could certainly be a market for those.
