"We are confident that Vibe will attract new young buyers to the Pontiac portfolio, " she said, "solidifying our position with this important target. Vibe meets their demands head-on, taking them everywhere they want to go, fitting every occasion both in and out of the city."
Vibe's ability to live up to these impressive claims depends greatly on the fact that it's a fairly high-roofed vehicle that's square at the back end. Its key dimensions would be a height of 1600 mm, a length of 4365 mm, a wheelbase of 2600 mm, and a width of 1775 mm. Some people would suggest that this shape might make Vibe a tall station wagon, but none of them work at Pontiac.
Pontiac officially says Vibe "sports a purposeful, athletic exterior that is smoothly sculpted and muscular, lending a fresh, clean look. The distinctive roofline features a unique, integrated roof rack that creates a singular fastback shape."
Vibe also features what Meyers calls "bold Pontiac styling cues, such as a vented front fascia with twin-port grille and recessed fog lamps."
Meyers said the multi-layer taillights provide Vibe with some Pontiac character while "bookending the liftgate/liftglass opening for optimal cargo area accessibility."
"Vibe's purposeful interior is highly flexible and filled with inventive features," Meyers said. "Capable of packing a whopping 1,621 liters of cargo behind the driver, Vibe features 40/60 split rear seats that fold flat at the push of a button to create a level load floor.
