Production of the Vibe ended in 2009 with the discontinuation of the Pontiac brand and the closing of NUMMI under the General Motors Chapter 11 reorganization. The Voltz did not sell well in Japan and was discontinued after two model years.

It was jointly developed by General Motors along with Toyota, who manufactures the mechanically similar Toyota Matrix. The Pontiac Vibe is a compact car that was sold by Pontiac from 2002 to 2010.
