Frosty meets Fusion

Wasn't real fond of the Fusion Orange when I first saw it on a Vibe (http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=4178) but liked it more each time I saw it.Now ... well, I just couldn't resist any longer! So here's my Vibe's new garage partner ...

Like Father like Son. Nice pair to round out the driveway. You're a lucky guy.

I saw an orange Aztek Rally yesterday. Now if they only would come in a stick.... Nice pair!

I gotta admit, I LIKE the fusion Aztek! That color looks great on that thing... I like the Aztek more if it is in a vibrant color like Fusion, or the yellow ones...Is the grille on it painted from the factory?Congrats!

jury's still out on the aztec. just don't know if i like it. love the fusion orange so it's not as bad. i really don't even mind the front of the aztec, it's the back that i just can't like. looks to much like a pregnant skateboard. but, still happy for your new buy! couldn't pick a better color!

Looks a lot like my garage. Only I have a Neptune Vibe and my wife has a Maple Red Aztek. My wife really likes the orange as well. I like the Rally edition in the Aztek as well. Great looking pair!

I primarily drive the Vibe since I work out of town and it gets better mileage, otherwise I'd probably switch cars every day I like them both so well.

I agree on the color making quite a difference on the appearance of the Aztek - if we hadn't been able to locate this one we were probably going to settle for yellow. The painted cladding also seems to help a lot in my opinion. No offense to you "two-tone"r's out there but I think the monotone treatment is cleaner looking.And yes, the grille on our Aztek is factory painted - that is one of the differences of the RALLY edition. The RALLY also includes stainless exhaust tip, unique chrome 17" wheels with wider rubber, RALLY badging, RALLY embroidered floor mats, power seats, and a (slightly) lowered front suspension. The RALLY came out late in the 2003 model year and was only available in Fusion Orange.

LOL Hadn't heard that before!I've got to admit that I was not sure about even posting because I expected some of the typical heavy Aztek bashing but you have all been very cool about it! I wish the Aztek forums were half as helpful and friendly as this site is. There've been a coupe of small quarrels here but for the most part we are all welcoming and helpful to each other. Nevermind Burger King - I LOVE THIS PLACE!

Great looking pair! I've met a local Vibe owner that said his wife drives an Aztek also and am pretty sure there's a couple that are also Vibe owners on one of the Aztek boards. Could one of them be you?I've always referred to our Vibe as the younger, cuter, brother to the Aztek. Now I refer to our Aztek as the older, more agressive and daring, brother to the Vibe!My wife preferred the Neptune Vibe but the only one near us when I needed to buy (I'd totaled my Honda and needed something quick) was scratched up and had rock chips on the front end. I was also concerned with how much dust/dirt show up on the Neptune since I was going to have to drive it 60 miles a day (for some odd reason I didn't think Frosty would be a problem ). Really like my Frosty monotone but would probably choose Neptune, or Salsa, if I had to do it over again!

Saw a Fusion Vibe in Duluth Minnesota yesterday. It really did look pretty sharp!
