I can certainly understand your point, and it would have been great if GM could have developed the Pontiac Vibe all on their own. From what I understand, GM and Toyota agreed on the original Corolla based platform, and from there each did their styling work seperately, but not secretly. Interesting note; for the Matrix, Toyota chose to use the interior design GM did for the Vibe: "Both cars have the same interiors, designed by GM designer, John Mack."quote:

I sure would like to know how GM/Toyota worked that out!quote:
