Vibe in Fringe

Post by Wolfman213 »

For those of you that don't watch Fringe on Fox, they had a Vibe on there last night!! It went driver side to driver side against a Ford Expedition and came out looking pretty good. Yes, of course it's all Hollywood, but still, they made it look like it's a super tough SoB!!That is all.

older model, didn't think to differentiate whether it was an 03-04 or 05-08 though.Totally understand holding off on watching it. And the twist at the season finale is mind-blowing, even for Fringe!!!

Yeah, watched it off the DVR last night. Going toe to toe with a Ford Explorer (at least I think that's what it was) it faired pretty good! Quote, originally posted by ou.grizzly »The parents in Transformers II had a 2009 Jet Black Vibe GT. Yeah, I loved that! I saw the movie about 2 weeks before I got my Vibe. I was like, "Wow, that's my (soon to be) car in there, sweet!".

Most of the time in movies or tv shows if you pay attention they remove alot of the headrests if they can to clear viewing area for different camera angles.It looks like it has painted rear view door mirros so it has to be 05-08 model. My eyes and computer screen could be screwing with me though.

...don't forget the missing rear view mirror also.The best is in older shows where see that the windshield has been removed.

I would vote that it's an 03/05. Look below the doors. The side sill turns under. Plus, Fox would try to save some $$ by bending an older Vibe. Seems a waste.
