2 Life isn t one-dimensional. So, why are most cars that way? Last time we checked, there was a giant-size world out there. Too big for categories. Too fast for anything that can t keep up. When you seize on every one of its moments and feel it changing with every turn, you ve got the Vibe. It s a Vibe that s big and small. A Vibe that s fun and serious. A Vibe that s flexible and wired. A Vibe that s never the same as yesterday. Just like life. Ready for anything it sends your way. The 2006 Pontiac Vibe. DESIGNED FOR ACTION.

3 VIBE SURFACE 1.8L ENGINE WITH VARIABLE INTAKE TIMING P215/50R17

4 IT THINKS IT S A SPORTS CAR. WE RE NOT ARGUING. Vibe GT is a car born of a passion for action. For function and innovation. For an entirely unique configuration that blends the best of several vehicle classes. Most prominent being the sports car, integrating a high-revving 16-valve engine, rally-inspired 6-speed manual gearbox, sport-tuned suspension, and available 17-inch wheels. Designed to stir your enthusiast side, Vibe GT is one of the most powerful vehicles in its class.* Its 1.8 liters do the work of engines twice its size, thanks to Variable Valve Timing with Lift-intelligence (VVTL-i). With this system, intake-valve timing is continuously varied throughout the rev range by hydraulically rotating the camshaft relative to its drive gear. By altering when valves open Vibe horsepower vs. select competition 2006 PONTIAC VIBE GT MAZDA 3 5-DOOR FORD FOCUS ZX5 S VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GLS SCION XB 5-DOOR WAGON 108 and close in relation to engine speed, the engine s ability to process air is increased, with no sacrifice to day-in, day-out drivability. This gives Vibe GT increased horsepower and smile-inducing performance. Fill up with premium fuel, and you ve got 164 horsepower at 7600 rpm attached directly to the accelerator. *Competitive claims are based on 2005 competitive vehicles and latest information available at time of printing.

5 DON T JUST LAUGH AT THE WEATHER. HAVE FUN WITH IT. For those who tend to travel imperfect pathways, there s Vibe AWD. Capable. Confident. Safety conscious. With a viscous coupling, full-time all-wheel-drive system, Vibe AWD can help you handle a wide variety of notoriously traction-limiting surfaces. Wet roads. Snowy roads. Dirt roads. Rocky roads. The system features a unique torque split function, giving you endless options for road trips. During normal driving conditions, nearly all power generated by the unit is directed to the front wheels, giving Vibe AWD the road manners of a front-wheel-drive vehicle. When differences in wheel speeds occur between the front and rear wheels on slippery, uneven, or low-traction surfaces the viscous coupling unit transfers torque to the wheels with the most grip, giving you more surefooted all-wheel-drive control. To accommodate Vibe AWD s special set of capabilities, an independent rear suspension provides additional handling prowess, while its 4-speed automatic transmission provides the precise shifting necessary for AWD situations. Plus Vibe AWD allows you to ride tall, enjoy a low step-in height, and have access to plenty of room and cargo configurations to haul what you need.* Topping it all off, you get better fuel economy** than most small-utility 4x4s at a remarkably lower price. *Cargo and load capacity limited by weight and distribution. **Estimated AWD mpg 26 city, 31 highway based on GM testing. Official EPA estimates not yet available. VIBE AWD SHOWN IN STEALTH.

6 LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT ON-RAMP. With simply one look you can tell Vibe stretches the limits beyond other cars its size. You ll sense you re not the only one who notices its no-holds-barred nature. It has an active sense of style. Muscular looks. Ground-hugging stance. Once you re behind the wheel, the real fun of driving 126 horses with a 5-speed manual quickly comes to life. And the 1.8L engine delivers this power while still meeting 2007 Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV-2) standards well ahead of schedule. Show off a little. Vibe has a long list of standard features and a variety of options, such as the available performance-tuned StabiliTrak Vehicle Stability Enhancement System. Designed to provide an added degree of safety, its progressive actuation subtly intervenes to help maintain the path steered by the driver. Vibe also offers flexibility with numerous cargo- and people-carrying configurations. With up to 54 cubic feet of cargo room* when the rear seats are folded flat, an adjustable cargo system to keep it all where you want it, and a roof rack for things that won t fit inside. Also available are driver and front passenger side-impact and head curtain air bags** to enhance driver and passenger safety. *Cargo and load capacity limited by weight and distribution. **Always use safety belts and proper child restraints, even with air bags. Even with the Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat. See the Owner s Manual for more safety information. Head curtain air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of head and neck injuries to front-seat occupants on the near side of certain side-impact collisions.

7 EVERYTHING CLOSE AT HAND. ESPECIALLY CONTROL. Your sense of command is heightened the moment you get behind the wheel. Your eyes are drawn to the chrome-trimmed informative gauges. Controls are ergonomically placed. You think cockpit. The standard stereo has a CD player, programmable equalizer, and Radio Data System (RDS), which displays song title and artist from compatible radio stations. You can also tune into the available XM Satellite Radio,* which features over 150 channels, including 67 channels of 100% commercial-free music. With XM, you get the best in music, news, talk, comedy, XM Instant Traffic & Weather, and sports including nine NCAA channels dedicated to the ACC, Pac-10, and Big Ten conference football and men s and women s basketball. You re free to tune into shows like XMLive for exclusive concerts and Unsigned for the best unsigned artists, wherever you travel. Plus, you can get three trial months of service with factory-installed XM without any contract or obligation. Also available to add an additional measure of security is the OnStar** system with the one-year Safe & Sound SM Plan (see back page for more information). For variety, there s an available in-dash CD changer that holds six discs as well as an available auxiliary audio jack to play MP3 devices through the system. To enhance the already dynamic sound, choose the available Sun and Sound Package. It boosts output with 200 watts of acoustical power and an integrated subwoofer for a deeper, richer sound experience. With a variety of audio system combinations to choose from, one is certain to be tuned to you. *Service fees apply. Available only in the 48 contiguous United States. Visit gm.xmradio.com for details. **Call ONSTAR ( ) or visit onstar.com for system limitations and details.

8 JUST LOOKING AT IT, YOU PICK UP A LOT OF IDEAS. Sit inside Vibe and find an emphasis on upscale components and surfaces that are smooth to the touch, but uncommon in other cars in the segment. Seat fabrics are made of a flatly knitted material with fabric patterns available in Slate and Graphite. Also available as part of the Premium Package are leather seating surfaces for an added degree of luxury. The seats are supportive in all the right spots and adjust for your comfort. A high seating position gives you a commanding view of the road. When the sun is shining, capture its rays with an available power glass sunroof while sliding sun visors help keep glare under control. Smart storage is close at hand with eight concealed compartments, including one to the left of the steering wheel, and a convenient change holder. Additional conveniences are available with the Preferred Package. It includes power door locks and windows, remote keyless entry, and cruise control. Driver s seat height adjuster, flat-folding front passenger seat, and dual front-impact air bags are standard, and driver and front passenger side-impact and head curtain air bags are available.* *Always use safety belts and proper child restraints, even with air bags. Even with the Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat. See the Owner s Manual for more safety information. Head curtain air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of head and neck injuries to front-seat occupants on the near side of certain side-impact collisions. VIBE INTERIOR SHOWN WITH AVAILABLE LEATHER SEATING SURFACES.

9 MORE THAN ROOM; AN ENTIRE SUITE. Capturing the diversity of everyday life requires versatility, adaptability, and an interior with infinite possibilities. Vibe delivers with a multitude of cargo- and people-carrying configurations* eight to be exact. With five on board, you still have plenty of room for your gear. If you need to carry more cargo than friends, fold both rear seats down flat with the one-step folding feature, and cargo room reaches up to 54 cubic feet. The front-passenger seatback also folds flat, making it easy to carry longer items with the hatch closed something you can t do with cars such as Ford Focus ZX5 and Mazda 3 five-door, or small SUVs like Ford Escape or Jeep Liberty. Also making it easy to secure loads of various sizes is Vibe s unique built-in rear adjustable cargo system. It features tracks along the scratch-resistant, easy-to-clean load floor that let you place tie-down anchors right where you want them. There are also chrome hooks to help keep numerous things in place. Bringing valuables along? Stow them in the concealed cargo compartments for peace of mind. In keeping with Vibe s unconventional character, a standard two-prong 115-volt household-style power outlet is perfect for running a variety of electronics at all your tailgating, beach, or you name it outings. *Cargo and load capacity limited by weight and distribution.

10 THE SPECIAL EFFECTS ARE NO ILLUSION. Quite simply, Vibe doesn t look or act like most cars. And that, of course, is a good thing. Yet for more of a good thing, you can customize, or more specifically, personalize your Vibe. With the available Vibe Sport Appearance Package, you ll add side rocker extensions [1], rear [2] and front fascia [3] extensions, two spoilers [4] (one upper and one mid-gate), and the package can be ordered primed to suit your own custom color. Or, you can purchase the package in one of three factory colors: Salsa, Platinum, and Abyss. For even more attitude, you can also add an available polished stainless steel exhaust tip and specially designed 17" cast chrome wheels. To fit your personal cargo needs, an available multipurpose organizer helps keep your stuff organized. It folds open to hold everything from sports equipment to grocery bags. When closed, it folds to 3" flat, allowing items to be loaded on top, just as if it were the floor of the cargo area. Adding to the versatility is a reversible cargo area mat with carpet on one side and durable rubber on the other. To personalize your Vibe with any of these accessories, simply talk to your dealer at time of purchase. They ll help you outfit Vibe with just the right equipment VIBE WITH AVAILABLE SPORT APPEARANCE PACKAGE AND 17" ACCESSORY WHEELS SHOWN IN SALSA.

11 ONE LOOK AND ITS BEST QUALITIES QUICKLY RISE TO THE SURFACE. g Inside the 2006 Vibe resides a host of smart why didn t I think of that technologies. Many of which you ll use and appreciate on every journey, and others whose mere existence is enough to earn your confidence. [ a] Spark plugs and engine coolant are designed to last up to 100,000 miles under normal driving conditions.* [ b] Daytime running lamps make Vibe more visible to other drivers, helping reduce certain collisions. Vibe also features Automatic Lamp Control, which turns the car s exterior lamps on and off as outside lighting conditions change. [c] Standard fog lamps throw out a wide spread of illumination to supplement the headlamps. [ d ] Every Vibe features ventilated front disc brakes for strong, sure stops. Vibe GT and Vibe AWD include the added peace of mind of four-wheel anti-lock braking. Like any purebred performance machine, Vibe GT sports rear disc brakes for added stopping power. [ e] Crash-protection features typically associated with higher-priced vehicles include available side-impact air bags and head curtain side air bags for front-seat occupants, and lap and shoulder safety belts for all seating positions (even the rear center seat). There are pretensioners and force limiters on the front-seat safety belts, along with adjustable upper anchors for outstanding comfort. To help make child safety seat installation easier, the LATCH system in the second row includes lower anchorages and tether anchors in the outer positions. [ f ] With a safety cage, crumple zones, and frame and body panels constructed of highstrength steel, Vibe is designed to absorb energy and resist passenger-compartment intrusion. Safety construction such as this helped the 2005 Vibe earn a five-star driver, four-star front passenger frontal crash-test safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).** [ g] The all-wheel-drive system on Vibe AWD uses a sophisticated network of sensors to determine when to transfer power to the rear wheels. [ h] The independent rear suspension on Vibe AWD helps keep the rear wheels ideally positioned for increased traction. [ i ] The available StabiliTrak Vehicle Stability Enhancement System seamlessly integrates braking, steering, and suspension systems. Without infringing on your driving style, it analyzes input from a series of sensors, applying brake force at the appropriate wheel (or wheels) to help the driver maintain the path being steered. [ j ] The available theft-deterrent alarm system with fuel system shut-off helps protect your Vibe in the event someone tampers with it. The available OnStar system with a one-year Safe & Sound Plan provides peace of mind in knowing help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. OnStar is designed to automatically alert an advisor if your air bags deploy and will call to see if you need help. OnStar can also assist the authorities in locating your vehicle if it s stolen. Advisors can even unlock your doors remotely in many cases if the keys are locked inside. And new for 2006 is the available Security Package which includes OnStar, four-wheel ABS, and a tire pressure monitoring system for the ultimate peace of mind. *Maintenance needs vary with different uses and driving conditions. See the Owner s Manual for more information. **Government star ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration s (NHTSA s) New Car Assessment Program (NCAP).
