TAKING ACTION TODAY. FOR TOMORROW.At General Motors, our commitment to environmentally friendlytransportation starts right at the top:

“What we do at General Motors profoundly affects the lives of many

people. As the world’s largest maker of cars and trucks, we realize our impact

extends beyond those who drive our vehicles, who work here and who live in our

communities. We also know that our actions today can positively affect the lives of

future generations. It’s a huge responsibility, but also a great opportunity. And

that’s why corporate responsibility is an integral part of everything we do at GM.

We’re determined to be part of the solution to the environmental issues that

we as a global community are facing. To that end, GM is investing billions of

dollars in a broad-based advanced technology strategy to help reduce the world’s

dependency on oil. This includes everything from biofuels like E85 ethanol, to

If you live in the moment, Pontiac created the Vibe just for you.

You get the idea and Vibe will be there for you to help put it in action. With Vibe’s spirited and highly efficientpowertrain and agile chassis, you’ll feel completely at home on any road. Vibe will help you take on every kindof weather with confidence, too, thanks to the traction of front-wheel drive and available grip-enhancingtechnologies like anti-lock brakes and StabiliTrak™. Then there’s Vibe’s incredibly accommodating interior,which was specially designed for optimal versatility, because you never know what’s going to come up next.

So seize the day. Catch the Vibe.

THINK IT. DO IT.

FEEL SPONTANEOUS

Improve your outlook and brightenyour Vibe’s interior by selecting theavailable power glass sunroof. Itglides open and closes at the touchof a button. Or if you prefer, you cantilt up the rear edge for a little extracabin ventilation.

Vibe gives you the information you need when you need it, via an analogue gauge cluster thatincludes a tachometer and an exterior temperature display. The instrument panel has a fullhelping of contemporary style, too, with chrome accents around the gauges.

In an ever-changing world, Vibe has what it takes to rise to almostany occasion. On the inside there’s room and comfort for up to five, so it’s a snap to takefriends and family along for the ride. The Vibe interior is also highly versatile, with a divided60/40 rear seat that folds flat and a forward-folding front-passenger seatback, so it reconfiguresin seconds when you have long or bulky cargo to carry. Of course, no matter who or what youhave on board, Vibe always rewards you with an exhilarating driving experience. Becauselife’s too short to drive boring cars.

VIBE DOES IT ALL.

A great drivingexperience has two essential components. The first isa fine sense of control. The ergonomically designedVibe interior helps to keep you firmly in charge, withan excellent view of the world around you, clearanalogue gauges, and well-placed switches andcontrols. The other half of the equation is comfort,and Vibe has that covered, too. All seats offer thesupport you look for on long trips, and the frontbuckets are contoured to hold you in place throughthe curves. There’s also standard air conditioning,complete with a special filter that helps keep the airin the cabin clean and fresh. You can even add atouch of luxury to your Vibe experience by selectingthe available leather seating surfaces.

SPONTANEITY STARTS HERE.

CONTROL & COMFORT

Hear every nuance in your road tunes withVibe’s available Monsoon® 286-watt premiumaudio system. It features 7 speakers, including a subwoofer.

Vibe’s console features a standard 115-volt ACoutlet capable of powering laptop computers,cellphone chargers, air compressors and otherelectrical products. There is also a conventional 12-volt DC outlet located in the instrument panel.

Every Vibe is a treat for the ears, including a standardAM/FM stereo system with a CD player and a built-in equalizer.XM Satellite RadioTM*, an in-dash 6-disc CD changer and a CDplayer with MP3 playback capability are also available.

*Includes three trial months beyond which service fees apply. Availablein 10 Canadian provinces and 48 contiguous United States

A B

C DA. With all seats in place, Vibe has room for 5 occupants and up to 547 L (19.3 cu. ft.) of cargo space.

B. Fold the right rear seatback down and Vibe can still accommodate 3 occupants and an evengreater amount of cargo.

C. With both the right rear seatback and the front-passenger seatback folded, you can carrycargo items up to 2.44 m (8 ft.) long with the tailgate closed.

D. With both rear seatbacks folded, Vibe’s cargo capacity is a tremendous 1533 L (54.1 cu. ft.).

When it comes to carrying gear, Vibe is about asversatile as they come. The rear seatbacks fold down individually, as doesthe front-passenger seatback. With the rear seats folded down, Vibe has along, wide cargo hold with a flat floor made of resilient composite materialthat’s tough enough to take a beating. The cargo area also features a standardaccessory track system that makes it a breeze to keep your gear securelytied in place while you’re underway.

GEAR UP AND GO.

VERSATILITY

Take a close look at Vibe and you’ll discover some ofthe most advanced engineering in its class. Variable valve timing, available OnStar® andStabiliTrak electronic stability control system: it’s all here. And it all contributes tomaking Vibe a great car to drive.
