Pontiac Vibe

It wasn’t surprising to see that the strong value shown by the 2008 Pontiac Vibe was similar to that from its sister vehicle, the Toyota Matrix.  However, this showdown ended up with Vincentric’s Best Value in America™ award going to the Pontiac, with the Toyota ending up a close second.
