I seen 3 yesterday. I followed one in to my son's school last night when going to his conferences. It was monotone Neptune just like mine except it was a base unlike my GT and his windows were not tinted. The driver followed me in and was checking out my dirty Vibe. LOL! It is good to see other Vibe's on the road though.

I know what you mean! I see a couple of Vibe's everyday...and I don't mean the ones on the dealership that I work at We can't keep the Vibe's in stock. I have been sellling them before they even arrive at the dealership.

I like to have an unique car. I choose the Vibe over the P5 for that reason. I see P5 at every corner. My Vibe is the only Slasa Monotone have seen yet.

I have spotted 3 Vibes in the Twin Cities over the last week, and none previous. The dealer recently told me that the number in the area is growing fairly quickly...

Maybe this thread is an American one. Here in Canada, it's not common.quote:My Vibe is the only Slasa Monotone have seen yet.I don't see too much Vibes here. And I never saw a Salsa Monotone like yours....

the local pontiac dealership is selling everyone they get and it helps when they are getting more than 2 at a time...now they are getting 4-5 vibes about every month....even azteks are starting to appear around town, they are selling everyone of those here,too..

Around here I have noticed that Vibes seem to popular with 50+ crowd. I saw three yesterday and not one was driven by anyone under 60 years old. Hey with all that life experience, you know they are gooing to choose the best car for the money

I'm still the only Vibe in my area....of the VERY FEW I've seen, they've all been bases, not GT's like mine. So I still stick out.I think Pontiac will suffer on the GT sales because you can only get it in a 6 speed...but that didn't stop me!!

It's kinda even here in Calgary - Vibe/Matrix. You guys with the monotone would love it here... I haven't seen a monotone yet... whether on the street or at a dealer. Unique beast up here.

Until recently I had never seen another vibe in town. Saw one parked outside a body shop(?) the other day. But Consumer Reports just recommended Vibe in the annual auto issue so they're going to sell much faster in this town full of professors and engineers.

Not many here in No. Colorado. I have only seen one other Vibe. I think it was a Shadow. Don't know why they aren't selling here. I think the Vibe I bought was on the lot for over 6 months. It had over 300 miles on it when I bought it.

I have only seen one GT on the road ever...I have seen more Vibes then Matrices...and I concur, there def seems to be a boost in Aztek appereances to. But that could just be coincidental.According to media.gm.com, here are the sales for Vibe in the U.S. I am still looking for Canada figures:39,082 vibes were sold in all 2002.So far this year, as of the end of February, 10,232 have been sold.5,162 were sold in February alone.

quote "39,082 vibes were sold in all 2002"http://www.toyota.com/about/news/manufa ... .html"TMMC produced 80,582 Matrix vehiclesNUMMI, manufactured 59,552 Pontiac Vibes, not including Voltz"so I guess that leaves 59,552 - 39,082 = 20,470 Vibes for Canada.of course production does not equal sales number. so it should be a bit less than 20,000 Vibes for Canada.
