.......'till I get my Envy back! Driving the cars they have given me for rentals makes me truly appreciate our Vibes all that much more!

First car, a '10 Hyundai Elantra(only thing good was free XM). Second car is a '10 Aveo - this thing takes me back in time to the '88 LeMans.Blech! Neither car had auto-on headlights???? The standard equipment in the Vibe(for it's time) was exceptional. The only thing that I saw that I wish the Vibe had, was the ports for USB and external audio sources. The first Vibe I had that a deer killed - I got an HHR rental - GM's poor attempt at what the Vibe already was. Should have kept the Vibe and killed the HHR in my opinion. Hope I'm not stepping on anyones toes here!

I would probably have been happier with this option. I was a KIA Tech for the first 3 years they came into the US. It would have been interesting to do a design/quality evaluation between what was then vs. now.

All is good in my world now. I have been reunited with my Envy A day later than we thought, but the shop did a great job. I was worried with them being able to get a good match and blend with the metallic green, but you can't tell at all. Bonus is.....no front license plate bracket. Nice and clean lines.

ALL RIGHT!!! Good for you.Yeah, I think front plate brackets should be banned. Most cars look stupid with them on. I went through several attempts to completely delete the holes that held mine on, but it's been mounted in the windshield for 5 yrs now... no problems and no pull-overs either.
