New 2004 Vibe Sunburst/Fusion Owner!

Post by VibeCouple »

Bought the Vibe with 107,000 miles on it. Drives like brand new and I must say the front seats are more comfortable than I thought they would be. The wife and I fell in love with the Vibe in 2004 when we had one for a rental car and now we finally own one! It is great to browse though the site here and see all the useful info and the Vibe community. GM should bring back Pontiac!!!

Whoa. Two fusion-orange (2003-2004) Vibe owners, both in Indiana and 90 miles apart. OK, it's not that amazing, but I just thought I would point it out. Ha! Welcome, VibeCouple. EDIT: Wait, the title of the thread says 2005. Didn't the 1.5 gen start in 2005, with the delete of the roof cross bars, and the flush grilles under the hood?
Steelies to the rescue.

Welcome to the GenVibe family, fellow Hoosiers!Had a lady friend in college from Ligonier.We originally looked at a Fusion Orange Vibe for my wife on a cloudy winter day in 2004, but it 'wasn't orange enough' for her.

VibeCouple, Welcome and thanks for adding your Vibe pics to the garage forum too. This color makes me happy every time I see it and it's been 6 years now. It's so EASY to find your deep fusion Vibe in the parking lot. I agree with everyone who is not colorblind that more car companies should offer this color again. Especially in cities that have sport teams that have orange as a team color. Who should we e-mail a petition about that?!!

One of my twin boys REALLY wanted me to find an orange one, he is a big time University of Texas fan. Maybe in 5 years when they start driving I'll find him one.

Seriously, car companies should consider their market and sell cars in team colors. I would buy a royal blue vibe or buick century in a heartbeat!
