So I went to burger king today and as I rolled up to the drive thru in my 09 Vibe GT the girl at the window said "aww what a cute car" not sure whether to be offended or not lol.

I would say that the 1st gen Vibes are cute, but the 2nd gen is definitely more agressive looking. I have been told that mine is cute LOL.

"She WANTS you . That was a pick up line if I ever heard one She just didn't have the nerve to say "what a cute guy driving that Vibe" so instead she compliments the Vibe. Go for it if it seems worthwhile
And you didn't respond . . ? "Yeh, and the seats go waaaaay back!"

Women like the flash of the red paint! The correct response is to flirt back, say something catchy/witty and make her smile! (yes, I've played this game before )Quote, originally posted by jake75 »And you didn't respond . . ?

yeah, the hatchback part is great when you have a girlfriend... considering she likes the vibe over the yukon and firebird. it;s nice when it's raining and you just open the hatch, and you have a covered tailgate!

Blocks any inclement weather beautifully, gives you plenty of room to lay out..

Every now and again someone will say it's "cute" then there's the dreaded "grandma car" I never really minded "grocery getter"I've had several people straight up ask me, "What kind of car is that? I've never seen one of those"

Such as, a Lincoln Town car, or Mercury Grand Marquis! i feel te same way. but all the old ladies in Fort Myers, FL beg to differ. u should see how many old ladies there are around here driving vibes. it sorta hurts to see them driving the same car as me lol bit depressing :/

yeah, usually middle aged women here. there's one guy with a 2 tone metallic silver then there's me. One lady has an '03 frosty white, her husband drives it occasionally. probably to get parts for his 1987 Buick Grand National.
Quote, originally posted by 09vGT »It's NOT a grandma car! Grandma cars have to be twice the size. Such as, a Lincoln Town car, or Mercury Grand Marquis! My grandma has some sort or Hyundai. A luxury one. She wants to trade it for a Vibe, the new Regal or a Cruze (all of which I have helped gotten her interested in). She hates big cars actually. My other pair of grandparents own a 2011 Buick Lacrosse and an F150 with a 5th wheel attachment so they can go camping. Around here, there's a guy with a lava, several middle-aged women with satellites (one who works at city hall), an 09 AWD which I always see in their driveway, a daycare teacher with a decaled lava, the Advanced Auto 09s, applejuice, me, and other anonymous Vibes. There was actually a white 09 GT I was following on my way to work at 5:30 am one day, but I haven't seen him since then. Someone on my hill bought a silver Matrix, too. Hey may, at least you haven't gotten a "Oh my gosh, your hands are freaky soft!" Thankfully though a job in the heat sweeping cuts up your hand pretty well, but only in direct places.
Every since I applied the body kit and painted the siding black, I always get the "What kinda car is that?!" .... and they are driving a matrix.... before the body kit all I got was "Girls Car" everyone laughed at me when I said I wanted to hook it up =o
Please don't take offense, but isn't it amazing how many "mature" drivers drive a Vibe? I constantly flash my "V" (peace sign!) to older drivers who disregard what an incredibly cool car they chose. I ask people how cool the Vibe is and they say, "way cool" but, for the older driver, it must be the hook of the fuel economy, as, to me, the Vibe is a younger persons' car... just sayin'
Quote, originally posted by Losthookah »damn Ive got the 10 GT and I get "girl car" and "GGG"(grocery go getter) but I like it so i dont mindNobody's ever said that to me about my car... things I have heard though:I can't believe you took that corner so fast!You drive like a bat-out-of-hell, how do you get such good mileage?Those rims are sweet!!!(In Huntington beach, CA) You drove all the way down here?!?!What do you mean "No A/C?"I love your Red car
I live in a college town and have seen more Vibes than I have elsewhere, so I definitely get the image of it being a young person's car. And the Vibe is totally cute, it's part of the reason I bought one. Then again I also think the Camaro is adorable so I'm sure someone contests my use of adjectives.
Quote, originally posted by cptnsolo77 »I would say that the 1st gen Vibes are cuteI am here to confirm that the first gen vibes are cute and that's why I picked one out (also they have a hatchback and good mileage). My dad had to drive it at some point, I wonder if anyone looked at him and wondered at the flower print seat covers...And flower decals on the back window, which I am going to remove soon so I can replace them with a Royal Crest of Hyrule decal.
