Ya maybe in the US, but they don't offer "envy" as a color in Canada.In the 6 years they have offered the vibe, I have only seen like 5 others with my color, in Vancouver.

Ahh, I wish I would have gotten Envy when I got mine. I loooove that color and I don't know why lol. It would look so nice with a nice set of 18 or 19 inch five spoke aluminum wheels, S Techs and the ground effects package!

Aights so do we agree the Envy GT is probs the rarest vibe out there?I think a Fusion orange/ sunset orange what have you, GT is probs second rarest. It takes guts to roll in those colors.

I am thinking the Blue Wave may be the second rarest colour.

Drainage from a nice respiratory infection via bacteria or viral in nature would be more "envy" in colour than anything. It is a great color in person to be honest, the Vibe, not the diarrhea or infection to be clear.

As one who has a envy monotone, the two most common reactions I get are: -Didn't you have a choice in colors?-That's cool!The ratio? About 50/50.I love it cause it's easy to find in the parking lot (except that someone else at school now has one--but that's only a problem when we park in the same lot).

Envy mono and two tones are the rarest color Vibes on the road. it was only offered in 03 the first year of the Vibe. then in 04-05 the Fusion was the next "Special"/Rare color available. then in 07 the Wave color was the next "special" color offered. and now for 2009 its the "Mystic Blue". if i had a choice between the blue and envy id go envy.

Yeah I agree with that list. From what I've seen, it goes in this order:1)envy2)Wave3)Fusion4)mystic blueThe most rare Vibe I've ever seen around my house was an Envy GT with tint and rims. That was like 2 or 3 years ago. The only reasons I like envy so much is because it's really rare and unique. I don't think it resembles any kind of bodily liquid because it's more of a green color. I've seen a few Pontiac 3000's or Chevy Celebrities that DID in fact look like bodily fluids and envy doesn't resemble any of those colors (removed)!

Fusion 2004-2005yea sounds bout right. so i think its safe to say that almost every 1-2 years they make a "Special" color for the models, so by the end of this model year or in 1 yr. pontiac may make a different color for the 09 Vibes that replaces the "Mystic Blue". but it will be available on any model like the Fusion, Envy, and Wave colors were.

Let's not forget Ignition Orange Metallic for the 2010s. My local dealer had an AWD in this color and it was pretty nice looking.My mom was telling me about seeing an Envy Vibe the other day. She was like, "What the heck color was that?!" So, I had to explain to her that it's pretty rare and all .

There was an envy AWD in the parking lot at work for about 2 weeks. think it was waiting on parts. You can't naysay on that color though until you've seen it IRL... I thought it was the ugliest color other than my camaro's until I saw one in person. It was beautiful. 2-tone too.
