Contact your eye doctor immediately. The effects can often be reversed if treated within the first 48 hours of seeing that color.

I've got an Envy. It grows on you somewhat, but I wouldn't have gotten that color if the cost/benefit equation hadn't been so great. I call it Slimer.

The envy is quite unique despite everyones opinion on the color, I would agree with lumpcus a monotone envy done up would look cool...thats my opinion anyhow.

I saw a two-tone Envy last week by where I work. It is an interesting color, but I can see how it may have been difficult to sell to the general population. Either you love the color or hate it I guess.

Ah, yes, you're ever the resourceful one joat! Probably won't be long until we see these cars advertised as "collecter's" cars since so few were made.

No offense to all of you that have one or like the color but i have changed a few dirty diapers that had the same color in them. I do admit it would be unique to see one all done up though.

Metallic split pea soup!There's a two-tone Envy Vibe base about a mile from where I live. I think it was the first Vibe sold in the area, in early 2002, but they must store it or go south for the winter, because I hadn't seen it all winter until about two weeks ago.The same household also had one of the first two-tone Azteks. It's gone now and they have a Montana in its place.

I saw this listing http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/...t=249 on autotrader.com, and noticed it was a Ford Dealer I drive by every day, so I stopped in today because I wanted to see it. the listing says"Exterior Color Forest Green "So I pull up right to the building, a half dozen salesmen watch as I park, get out, walk in and ask them if they still have the green pontiac Vibe. They all look at each other and say useful things like "what's a Vibe?" and such, finally one guy says that they don't have anything like a used Pontiac there. But, they can get one for me if I want, just what's my phone number and email address,here take my card, let us show you some Fords instead of that Pontiac crap, wait where are you going, come back,.... So, I missed the ultimate rare "Forest Green" vibe, and barely escaped the gauntlet of predatory salesmen. There are currently 9 envy vibes listed on Autotrader http://www.autotrader.com/find...1&y=9 including this one in Oklahoma http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/...=1057Hey fuel4soul, still looking for a Vibe?

I found the forest green vibe last night, the autotrader ad says it's at a Ford dealer, it was a Pontiac dealer down the road a bit. 24K miles, Envy 2 tone, Power package, factory alloys. No other options. 5 speed. Stock 1CD audio. No moons. no tunes, no abs, no sab, etc. $15K. Lady there tried really hard to convince me that it was really forest green. I said, yeah, a dead forest maybe

I was bummed when they discontinued the envy color. That was the color I intended to get ....but black looks good too. The vibe looks good with any color.
