Pontiac Vibe Wins Award
October 24, 2008 by jcme · Leave a Comment
The Pontiac Vibe is one of the best Pontiac cars at your Newton Square area dealer. Of all the various compact cars that Pontiac has produced over the last two decades, the Vibe is at the top of the heap. It combines a roomy interior, tremendous utility, a peppy powertrain, clean styling and it does it at a price that won’t damage your wallet.
Our neighbors to the North recognize the Vibe’s quality, as well. This month, the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada awarded the 2009 Pontiac Vibe with the distinction of being the “Best New Small Car over $18.000.”
This award didn’t come easily, either. The recognition comes as a result of evaluations of more than 50 new vehicles at the Test Fest, sponsored by the AJAC. The competition was judged by not just a small pannel of judges, but by 80 percent of Canada’s top auto jorunalists.
“The heart of Canada’s vehicle market is the highly competitive small car segment, so we are particularly excited about this award for the 2009 Pontiac Vibe which has seen a sales increase of over 30% this year,” said Marc Comeau, vice president of sales, service and marketing for GM of Canada. “The versatile new Vibe provides a combination of style, utility and excellent fuel efficiency that is clearly resonating with Canadian consumers.”
With volitile fuel prices stateside, you can’t do any better in the United States with the Vibe, either. That same combination of style, utility and fuel efficiency is just as important in Newton Square as it is up North.

The Enclave may be Buick’s CUV (Compact Utility Vehicle), but this vehicle has a much bigger presence on the world than you might realize. From the massive and intimidating chrome grill to the sheetmetal construction to the chrome trim, this vehicle has everything it takes to be a real attention-getter.
The 2008 Buick Enclave CXL doesn’t feel that big when you’re driving it down the road, however. Acceleration is smooth, and the steering has a comfortable feel.
The 2008 Buick Enclave CXL gets decent gas mileage, too, hitting 21.5 miles per gallon on the freeway.
There’s plenty of power under the hood, too. The 2008 Buick Enclave features a 3.6 liter V6 that produces 275 horsepower. That engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Inside, the cabin has plenty of room. The seats are comfortable and supportive, all at the same time. Because The Buick Enclave rides fairly low, it’s one of the easiest CUVs on the market to get into and out of.
