DETROIT — The Vibe is the latest Pontiac model to be officially killed by General Motors Corp. as the automaker moves to phase out the brand sometime next year.
GM said Thursday it will stop making the small hatchback in August at a factory it jointly runs with Toyota Motor Corp. in Fremont, Calif.
The Detroit automaker, as part of its government-funded restructuring in bankruptcy protection, is shedding Pontiac, Hummer, Saab and Saturn as it tries to shrink itself to match a smaller market share and get more mileage out of its advertising dollars.
