Welcome James!
I have nice memories of Kingston. I happened to visit the town and University in the late 80's or early 90's. Another time I made it all the way to Trois Riviere...


yes, pictures please!

The color is Fusion and it has a rear spoiler!

Does anyone know if that spoiler is functional? Back in the 80's GM station wagons often had spoilers that reduced drag by diverting air coming off the roof down behind the hatch. It reduced the vacuum that is building there.

She is a blast to drive, it actually has the dual spoiler, the other is just below the rear window.
The colour is fusion orange, touch up paint is painful to get, had to get it custom mixed at my local napa and it was perfect

I'm personally not a fan of the lower spoiler, but many here would be very jealous I'm sure :)! You should post some more pictures that show the rear of the Vibe better ;)!
