2009 Pontiac Vibe GT
2009 Pontiac Vibe GT - Pontiac Hatchback Review - Automobile Magazine
The Vibe (a Toyota/General Motors joint venture) is an extremely important vehicle: it's a versatile, useful, small wagon from the two top automakers in the universe.

Say what you will of the knife-edge styling that plagued Pontiacs of the late 1990s, but I really liked the styling of the first-generation Vibe - it was sharp, it was (surprisingly) clean, and the result was a five-door hatch that had some sport to it. I can't say the same for the new car. Designers seemed to keep some of the sharp lines of the original, but they inexplicably added rotund forms for no real reason. It's not the Aztek, mind you, but it's not the sharp, sporty little thing I once admired.
