1. LOL...I don't think there is any...

They come of the same assembly line. Just the badge is different. If you plan on keeping till it dies (like me), see you will give you a better deal. But consider the Toyota if you plan on reselling as it might have a higher resale value...

2. Same vehicle under the skin (and most of that is the same, too).

3. There is really only one big difference for the '05 models.

Toyota will offer side curtain airbags, Pontiac will not. But that's new for '05.

Otherwise, these are essentially the same vehicle...same warranty, same drivetrain, comparable pricing, etc.

Either one is a fine choice. It's the perfect urban car but I'd find it a bit cramped on the open road if I was travelling with more than one other person.
