Looking at buying one these cars, I know the Pontiac is essentially the same car although i have always been wary of dodge and pontiac. which do you prefer and why?

also ive heard people saying get the pontiac b/c its the same and depreciates faster although ive been finding matrix with lower miles for less than the pontiacs. btw, im looking at like the 03 and 04 models. is the style on toyota or pontiac better or the same? ive only looked on the net havnt really seen in person.

The vibe is the only pontiac to buy, because it is just a rebadged matrix. Get the one that is the best bargain. Don't worry about which label is on it. They are essentially the same car.
