Hi to all. I own a 2003 Matrix and have been on Matrixowners.com for a while. Just bought a 2009 Vibe GT. Looking forward to see what you guys are up to on this site!

Very nice, that's actually the car I wanted (red '09 GT) but couldn't find one in the area when I was buying. Not that I'm not happy with mine, it's 95% as good! Unrelatedly, those pictures make me realize how different the color red can look under different lights- same red can appear to be anywhere between orange and maroon!

Check the forum. There are a lot of threads about the missing center caps on the 2009 Vibe wheels. Lots of info on getting new ones and making sure they stay put..

Thanks for the info but they were actually on the Car when I picked it up!

ponta 2147...I'm not 100% sure, but I think this GT is Ignition Orange Metalic? The Pontiac emblem on it is red, though, just like your Vibe!!! Great lookng GT. Where were these pictures taken... the Vibe studio? Very nice.

Welcome to the Vibe family... I thought the front license plate read "fried beans" for a moment.

Thanks for the Welcome thoughts guys. Can't wait to take a Pic of both cars side by side! The color is Red Metallic but its not a Bright Red! The pictures were taken at the Dealer.Fred Beans was the Dealer and they actually had a Can of Beans inside with the Owners Name! Thanks again!

Def looks orange on my screen, while emblems and tail lights show up very red.The can of Fred's Beans any good?

Great lookng GT. Where were these pictures taken... the Vibe studio? Very nice. I was thinking it *might* have been orange too, except I didn't think that year came in orange, and because the red on the emblem looked to be the same orangey-red color as the car... well, whatever! It's a Vibe GT! Awesome in any color.

Too funny !Quote, originally posted by vibolista Â»Oooops, J, didn't key into the " '09", so it has to be Red Hot Metallic?

I just figured since he said it was an '09 that it had to be red .Quote, originally posted by ponta2147 Â»It's a Vibe! Awesome in any color. Fixed it for you !

Welcome and NICE RIDE! You've gotta love that Sport Red Metallic! Too bad your center caps are now somebody's souvenir! I'll have to keep a close eye on mine. Auto or stick? lots of miles on it? did you get it for a good price? Take good care of it and enjoy the ride

jbski · Post by **jbski** » Thu Mar 18, 2010 12:54 pm

Thanks Yea I love the Red cause its different! The dealer actually put the Caps on before I picked the car up! Its Auto, wifey doesn't want to learn how to drive stick bummer for me. 11,600 miles got it for $15,800. I love the ride the pick up on it is great.

I'm new here, too, and just saw this post, so I went out to the garage to check out my new '09 and there are only 3 of the center caps! Darn! Can't believe I missed that! Oh, well, it's still a sweet looking ride. Mine hubcaps are super shiny!
