Hey all,

I'm Steve and I'm the owner of two Vibes.

I have a base 2003 Abyss Two-Tone Vibe with a 5spd. I've had this one for 4 years and it currently has 237,000kms. on it. This has been easily the most fuel efficient and reliable car that I've owned. It's starting to get a little long in the tooth so we decided to replace it with another Vibe (that's what you do, right?). My wife loves the car so much she wanted to get another...

So today I bought our second Vibe:

A 2003 Envy Green Two-Tone Vibe GT with a 6spd. This car only has 133,000kms on it. It's in great shape too and we're looking to put a lot more miles on it in the years to come! I hear the colour is rare. Any idea how many Envies were made in two-tone in GT trim?

Looking forward to picking your brains and also contributing some information as well since I'm pretty proficient around cars.

Welcome to GenVibe! That's awesome that you have 2 Vibes in your family! Props on posting pictures in your first post ;)! Yes, the Envy is a pretty rare color. Enter your VIN on CompNine to get an idea of just how rare it is.

I have a two toned base 2003 Envy green Vibe, from what I have heard they only made 1,666 in that colour and distributed them based on dividing NA into 1,666 distinct zones (not sure on the criteria) with one for sale in each zone.

Have never seen a breakdown on solid green or two-tone or base/gt/awd.

Hope that helps.
