Vibe - how is it built?

[BuddyP]

Is it already pre assembled when it get's to the Fremont plant or does GM build it from ground up using Toyota's main parts?

[Chicagoland]

It's not 'pre-assembled'. It is manufactured in Fremont.

[FAPTurbo]

Well first, a dark mage from Toyota has to antiphonally chant a variety of Psalms backwards in a dark cavern.

After the chantings, blood is drawn from the nearest Catholic baby and spilled onto a fiery glowing rock.

After a bout of hot, sulfury steam, thick organic ooze seeps up from the centre of the Earth and melds itself into a platform and slowly hardens.

After the hardening, the mage then proceeds to rip out an adolescent males' heart from his ribcage and drops it into the engine compartment. The heart fuses with the then hardened organic ooze and expands into a large organ which looks like an engine and transmission.

After praising Satan, the dark mage sends this "demonic, petrol powered chariot" down an evil assembly line, filled with dark trolls, and morloks who rip flesh off their bodies and adhere it onto various parts of the vehicle with an excellent eye for "fit and finish."

It is then sent into GM's department, where GM's engineers adhere a Pontiac grille to the front and call it a day.

There are very few light-vehicles assembled from kits in the US. The Dodge/Freightliner Sprinter is one of the few I can think of currently on the market.

No. The assemble some in Freightliner's Gaffney, South Carolina plant. And the next generation Sprinter will continue to be produced in Gaffney, just in greater volume.
