OK, what would your SECOND color choice be for your Vibe?

Post by kostby »

I've been seeing a lot of a Frosty two-tone Vibe lately in my neighborhood, and thinking, 'If I hadn't purchased a Salsa two-tone, I might've gone with a Frosty two-tone.'What is/was your SECOND choice?There aren't enough poll choices for all the monotone AND two-tone combinations, so add your combo if it doesn't appear below!

my first was salsa, but not available when i bought my vibe, just the satellite with most of the features i wanted. but then fusion came out and i love that color. but still, i'm glad i got satellite cause i'm sure it's saved me from countless speeding tickets! I could NEVER have fusion or any other bright color vehicle because my insurance would be WAY too high!

the only reason i have an awd is because it was the only blue car they had! abyss would definitely be my second choice, it looks freakin' sharp in monotone!

I would have preferred Frosty, but got Satellite because that's what was available. I had time pressure because one of my vehicles died.

Mine was supposed to be partially my mom's car, but now, she's like, you have it, I don't like your loud car. If I had the choice, I woulda had a Abyss GT monotone. O my god, I woulda loved my car even more than I do right now. But, I'm happy with my Shadow base autoInder

I ordered mine so I could get exactly the color and features I wanted, but I really like the Salsa two-tone too. But only in the 03-04. The only color I even halfway like on the 05 is moonstone or whatever it is they're calling shadow now..

I voted Fusion as well. I absolutely love my 2-tone Neptune and would make the same choice all over again. But a nice monotone Fusion would really stand out!

If I could do it over again, I would've gotten envy, abyss, or fusion...envy to be differentabyss because it shines like no other colourand fusion because it's awesome.

I got the Salsa, but Neptune would have been my next choice...mind you my nickname would have been WinterFresh instead of Big_Red.

Since I HAD to have the AWD....I was stuck with Abyss. (I bought used!!)My 1st choice would have been Envy/Monotone, followed by Moonstone/Monotone, and then Neptune/Monotone. I know...I'm a hater...I can't stand the cladding!!Not sure why Envy was so rare, and ditched so fast.....they REALLY need a green!!! Can't do red, or white....just not me....and the orange is a fad colour to me......Gm is even using it on Cadillacs!

Yep, we ever have a white '04 on the lot right now, it's the last of the 3 that we bought at the GM auction. (Mine was a trade-in, not a fleet car!!)

Vibe Colors

Post by Z600 »

I've been disappointed with the Vibe palette from the start. I've actually written to Pontiac a couple of times about it (not like they really care). It's a fairly sporty-looking car, IMO, but aside from the Lava, the colors are seriously drab. Here's what I think they need:- Lava- Salsa- white (forgot the name)- Satellite- Shadow- Abyss- the PT Cruiser bright blue- early Ford Focus yellow (Egg Yolk, I think they call it?)- Saturn Vue green- Saturn Vue orange/rust (it's a little more "intense" than what's offered)That would give 'em a nice selection of moderate and sporty colors. Ford's really doing it right with the Focus... at one time I think they had about a dozen different colors available!~ Z600BTW, I would want a bright blue one or a yellow one.
