Pontiac Vibe - Toyota Yaris Forums

I saw in some article that the Pontiac Vibe (which I've been seeing a lot of lately on the road) was listed as one of the most dependable vehicles; given that GM makes the Vibe I had to do some research and found out that it is actually Toyota that makes the Vibe (Toyota and GM "partner" at an old GM plant in California - Toyota gets to use the plant, which was their first in America, while GM gets to use Toyota underpinnings in some of their smaller cars)
Also, I found out that the Matrix and the Vibe are pretty much the same car (oddly enough, GM charges about 1000 bucks more for the Vibe than Toyota does for the Matrix)...finally, before the Matrix/Vibe collaboration, there was the Corolla/Chevy Prism (Prism was discounted in 2002 due to lack of sales, but it is basically a Corolla - kind of makes me want to find a cheap one, as chevy's resale value is crap compared to Toyota)...
