The next-generation Pontiac Vibe is arriving in showrooms, ready for test-drives by value-minded customers after a flexible vehicle that can keep up to any lifestyle. The new model builds on the success of the original- with an even sleeker, sportier and more aggressive package that can be adapted to any chore or any trip.

The base model car is powered by a 1.8 litre, 132 horsepower engine that utilizes variable valve timing for an optimal blend of economy and performance in any situation. For more jam, buyers may specify a higher performance 2.4 litre, 158 horsepower engine that can be optionally mated to an all wheel drive system.


"With the new 2009 Vibe, we have taken everything customers liked about the original Vibe and elevated it to the next level with the all-new design," said Marc Comeau, vice president of sales, service and marketing for GM. "Its strong residual value is a testament to its quality. And with its long list of standard features, two fuel efficient powertrain choices and impressive versatility - all backed by GM's leading coverage - the new Vibe is an exceptional value."

Additional peace of mind comes from extensive safety features like ABS, StabiliTrak, OnStar, tire pressure monitoring and more. Canadian shoppers can pick up the new Vibe starting at $15,995, while the Vibe SE comes loaded with features at $18,995.
