Fremont Assembly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fremont Assembly was a General Motors automobile factory in Fremont, California. It was the new site for production in the San Francisco area in 1960 with production moved from the older Oakland Assembly. Production continued through 1980 when the plant was closed and refurbished as the NUMMI joint-venture with Toyota.
In 2002, General Motors introduced a new product to the market, the Pontiac Vibe. Even before NUMMI started production on the Vibe, it won a prestigious Editors Choice Award from Autoweek and was a runner up for their "Best of the Best - Most Significant" new vehicle.
The Vibe was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show in January, 2000. Its more upscale version, the Vibe GT, premiered at the Los Angeles Auto Show that same month.
The Vibe, as well as the essentially-identical Toyota Matrix, is a unique vehicle that combines the best of a sports car, sport wagon and SUV. It features an athletic, clean look to the outside and a driver-oriented cockpit inside. Standard goodies include an AM/FM radio with CD player, roof rack and a 110-volt household-style electric outlet.
