How many people have asked you about your Vibe

Post by robdog »

I have had at least 6 people ask me about my Vibe since October. A cop even asked me about it in a gas station one day. Another was an older gentlemen and a gas station guy, the rest I can't remember. All were good comments on the car. How about everyone else????

Fast food drive-throughs net me a lot of comments. Not so much now as when I first bought the car though. So far the funniest one was when my neighbor asked me what I thought of it then went out the next week and bought one.

An older man chased us down the road as we drove to a garage sale, just so he could ask questions. He had looked at a matrix. We answered his questions, then went to the garage sale, but he stayed with our car looking it over all the way around.

Too many...lost count. My Vibe was one of the first in the city. There was another Abyss GT driving around. We must have been great sales people....I see at least two vibes a day on the road now. I think we should get commision$$.

Okay, I sent you a picture of me to your e-mail address because I didn't want everybody to see it except for you.

I have had 3 people say "nice car" while filling up. Sure makes you feel good. I get the "cute" thing more often than I can count

I have got quite a few " how do you like it" and " I'm thinking about getting one" since I got mine on 12/31/03.What I have been noticing is looks everyday by other drivers. Usually at stop lights, they are looking it over to see what it is.

I've had quite a few ask me about it, but the way I really got the word around was when I get interviewed by the local newspaper. Take a look at the article. Crossover Craze by the Lansing State Journal.

OH MY GOODNESS!! That is so funny that you say that because I have license plates holders that say Goddess as well as two hearts with Goddess inscripted on them hanging from my rearview mirror.

I guess I am on par with everyone else here........ Get questions and people looking over my vibe every couple of days since i got it...... Had one guy who just bought a Civic he almost choked when I told him it cost me $26500.00 (Canadian) He just paid $32000.00 for his civic and it still was not as well equipted as the Vibe GT.....
