New owner with Stealth base Vibe

Post by NaNC3 »

Hi there. I've been checking this forum out for the last few weeks since I am a new Vibe owner. Looks like this bunch is generally satisfied with their Vibes. Mine is base, stealth, monotone, auto, preferred pkg, sun & sound pkg, 16" alloy wheels, and ABS. Stealth (new for 2006) is a neat bluish-greenish-grayish metallic color which I picked from looking at the dealer's paint chip samples. (he had to find me a car with ABS). I'm a mom with two teenagers, one about to go off to college. I wanted a car that we could all be happy with for zipping around town as well as hauling stuff to college. With gas prices the way they are I decided our new car had to get good gas mileage. There are very few Vibes in my area, very few Pontiacs at all, so I wasn't considering the Vibe until I re-read some of my Consumers Reports. I think that both GM and my local Pontiac dealer are doing nothing at all to promote this great little car; I don't get it. Anyway I've got a really neat looking little (but practical) car that is unlike all the SUVs around here.

Congratulations and Welcome! I noticed a lot more G6's than Vibes here. In fact, as soon as we bought my Mom's Frosty Vibe, loved it so much, I had to order my Neptune Vibe.

Welcome to Genvibe. I saw that new color a few weeks ago when I had to visit my local pontiac dealership. It is a nice color. You don't see that color on any other car, at least not that I've seen. I think you will really enjoy your vibe.

Cool, congrats. I saw a Stealth one out on the road the other day, it looked really good. That's becoming my second most favorite color to see a Vibe in besides Neptune, of course, which will never lose first place. Glad to see someone else thinks it looks bluish-greenish-grayish, that's exactly how I've described it before. Welcome aboard, I'm sure you'll enjoy the car.

Welcome to the NCyclopedia of Vibe! And thanks for posting a pic right away!Regarding lack of advertising...I'm finally seeing a few Pontiac TV ads in my area touting Vibe and G6 fuel mileage numbers. I guess the fact that May '06 Vibe sales were down 32% from a year ago IN THE MIDST OF THE HIGHEST FUEL PRICES IN YEARS finally got someone's attention at Pontiac!

Thanks for the welcome!Do any of you flash a peace hand signal at other Vibe drivers? (also V for Vibe?) I haven't seen another Vibe close by since I got mine! Just a thought!
