Look at page 9-65 in the owners manual. They have a drawing of a Matrix, not a Vibe I think there is at least one more drawing that shows the Matrix in there.

That's funny. For general images that aren't real specific to the car, I have seen GM use illustrations from other cars but this one takes the cake. I'm guessing that's a cost saving move there, don't have to pay the graphics guy to make a new image. I see the same thing with my Hyundai Accent's manual, there are images of its Kia Rio twin all over it. They went real cheap on the 2009's manuals, some illustrations that show a logo like on the steering wheel just have a blank oval instead which could be used for either brand of car.

I don't know if they ever changed it, but my '03 Vibe has a Toyota logo on the gas cap. I had a nice chuckle when I noticed that 2 years after buying it - LOL

LOL, I remember seeing that. All kinds of parts scattered about with Toyota logos.It's even funnier when you buy some parts at the dealer, they stick a GM sticker right over top of the Toyota sticker on the package.

I was always a fan of the odd japanese sticker under the hood.

The engrish on the automatic transmission's dipstick was funny too.

Don't think I've seen that one. Going to have to poke around in the garage when I get home.

Yeah, it reads something like "under normal driving condition need not replace atf" It's pretty mild engrish.
