Let's see, why did Toyota discontinue the Corolla based Matrix CUV a year ago? We can chalk up the end of the similar Vibe to Pontiacs demise.
And what's with all the truck references? It's a Fit platform. Or is it, other than the back sear?
And you're making me link to the Civic article in the hopes of finding out whether this 1.8L motor is the Earth Dreams direct injection version.
In all fairness, I've been looking to replace my '04 Vibe with this car and several dealers are emailling me daily whenever a bit of new info comes out. They still don't have a delivery date.

I hope Honda buys you a steak dinner for all the gushing tho.
Btw, what is the best selling compact SUV in N. America?? Highlander?
