I love how VW matches the wheels, body, and interior colors throughout...it's great...would love to see that option in the vibe...Only problem is I hate leather. Yuck.

Just curious, but why were you on the Beetle forum? You know some that owns one?

I don't know about him, but a girl I work with has a "Cyber Green" Beetle with those rims, and a green highlighted interior. It looks pretty damn sweet if I don't say so myself!

i was very disappointed leather was not an option in the Vibe, or atleast the GT. I ended up with aftermarket leather interior.

I am obsessed with color matching everything to salsa....Actually, the red leather isn't that red at all. kind of disappointing. that's why I ended up repainting the red interior a darker metallic red. I don't think you'll get a perfect match with your salsa, but it will be very close. you may want to check out a specialty sewing/upholstery shop about color matching your seats.
