Since our Vibe is really a Toyota with Pontiac body panels, I think the Toyota rating (201) would apply to us.

This survey takes into account all issues, not just mechanical. So I'd say we're probably more of a 247 -- above the industry average.

It may be a GM designed interior, but the power window switches, mechnisms, turn signals stalks, cruise and guages all came from the Toyota parts bin. The radio is the exeption along with some of the interior plastic components. My guess is that it is more like 80% Toyota.
