Just Smashing
The name a vehicle is given can be grounds for an exhaustive recourse of play-on-word metaphors. To highlight my point,

I'll use James Bond as an example (because most people who like cars, like James Bond, right?)
You know when Bond goes to a party, punches out a few people, blows up the entire building and then is later asked by a co-worker how the party was? His response is generally "just smashing" or "it was a blast." While cute in an annoying way, I hate those tacky lines. I hate them even more when they come out of my mouth, but sometimes it's just so hard to hold

back, like in the case of Pontiac's updated 2005 Vibe.
While I didn't punch out any pedestrians in a fit of road rage or ignite the Vibe into a ball of flames, fortunately, I have to concur with James that, while not a party on wheels, Toyota's little crossover wagon was also just smashing and a blast to drive.
While James Bond's choice of vehicle might not be the Pontiac Vibe, it is however the choice of many North Americans due to its sleek styling, flexible interior, top-notch safety ratings and overall goodness. |
