It's good to know that the Vibe won't be as common as the Cavalier (16,992 to 5,070).

True, but today at lunch there were two Vibes and a Matrix all in the same row. It was a site to see One of the Vibes was my shadow monotone. The other vibe was also shadowbut it was a two tone and the Matrix was blue.

True enough, but this is just the beginning. I remember when I bought my first car in 1987, a Dodge Shadow there were hardly any out there at the time. Now the Dodge Shadow/Plymouth Sundance/Shelby CSX/Chrysler ES are rather common sight. Even though Chrysler discontinued the car in 1994.Give it a few years and I'm sure the Vibe/Matrix will be pretty common.

Hopefully the current incentives should help sales a bit. I know for the Western region...the rebate is $2000 for the Vibe only...and the rest of Pontiac has $3000. I spoke to a vehicle shipping transporter guy last week...and he said that there are more Vibes sitting in the lots of dealerships...than in the lot at the NUMMI plan.

there are quite a few posts about the $3000 rebate. but I don't see them (only $2000 on all region) on Pontiac, carsdirect and edmunds website. can any one point me to the info?

bellwilliam,Since your location is in the Western Region US...they have been advertising that there is a $3000 rebate for Pontiac in general except for the Vibe. The Vibe is the only vehicle in the Pontiac Family that has a lessor rebate. 0% financing is avaiable.....which is worth it!
