Rare Vibe Spotted, I'm green with ....

Post by jmf2 »

A couple of weeks ago my wife and I were in Southern Calif visiting our families, and while out with her mom she spotted this vibe . She took the picture with her camera phone and told me it was a custom painted vibe when she called me later. She had not heard of the envy vibes. They came across it near South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. We saw alot more vibes on this trip to Calif, and we're seeing quite a few more up here in north Idaho now, but no other fusion ones, which suits me just fine!

Only if it were Monochrome...the two tone really makes the Envy look like an Aztek.

I agree... if I could get it in monotone, consider it sold!

Spotted a monotone envy in a parking lot the night before we found our Lava Red 03. Thought to myself "wouldn't have trouble finding that in the parking lot" Interesting choice.

Saw a two-tone last week in Nashville, TN while on vacation and a monotone one here where I work around Ann Arbor, MI!!! I hate green, so its beauty? is lost on me, but its cool to see someting different!

Personnally, I think that's the worst color the Vibe can come with. but hey, everybody has his own taste!

I might've gotten it in Envy, if that's what it came in.. Of course, Lava wasn't my first choice either (I wanted Satellite), but, i'm happy with my bright red car!
