The fold-flat front passenger seat allows for even more room to accommodate extra long cargo. There are various storage areas in the rear, Meyers pointed out, along with functional chrome tie-downs that can secure bikes and other loose gear.

"The inviting, driver-oriented cockpit is accented by chrome-trimmed gauges and Pontiac's signature red analog display," Meyers said, and because Vibe buyers "just won't settle for an average sound system, an outstanding array of choices will be offered."

An AM/FM radio with a CD player will come standard, and it can be upgraded to an include in-dash 6-disc changer featuring a single load slot. The six-speaker Monsoon premium audio system will shower the passengers in high-performance, 200-watt sound.

The big real-world technical breakthrough in Vibe is the 110-volt household-style electrical outlet in the front center console, which will accommodate pretty much any electronic devices you have a regular plug for, which means you won't have to carry one of those special cigarette lighter plugs for the cell phone and laptop and whatever else you use regularly.

"Vibe's interior was designed from the inside out, considering the driver and passengers' every need," said Craig Bierley, Vibe brand manager. "The result is an interior that's both flexible and fun."
