Pontiac Vibe
Being the only survivor of General Motors’ now defunct Pontiac division, the Vibe still arouses the interest of consumers. Essentially based on the Toyota Matrix (to which the Vibe owes its survival), Pontiac’s small family automobile had been updated with a new very attractive body design for 2009. Take note that the 2010 model year is in all likelihood the Vibe’s last year of production and it's selling quite fast.
