The Vibe is not listed, but it's still an interesting list:http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/nhtsa/announce ... 31-03.html

Vibe must have been tested earlier. I found this link http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/NCAP/Cars/2003Cmpt.html It shows:2003 Vibe 4x2 - front driver & passenger 5 stars, rollover 4 stars2003 Vibe 4x4 - side front 5 stars & side rear 4 stars, rollover 4 starsI wonder whether the side ratings were with side air bags.

Sweet.quote:I wonder whether the side ratings were with side air bags.Good question. I know in the Insurance Institute's recent study, they only tested vehicles with side impact bags when they were standard equipment. I'm not sure how NHTSA does it though.
