Cool! Thanks. Did you see that they still have a picture of a two-tone 2003 for the Vibe AWD?I just did the 'build your own' and equipped a 2005 with exactly the same options I have on my 2004 and it went up around $700.00! Glad I didn't wait. Doesn't look like they are discounting the Power package anymore and so it now costs 1150.00.

I had an '05 base - Neptune monotone behind me this morning at a light.The front end is ok..I like the 03/04 better though.Feeling self-conscious about the big dent in my right-rear quarterpanel, I decided to romp on it when the light went green. Saw the guy in the '05's eyes get really big lol

I thought maybe they'd have new colors. Where is the Envy Green color?

I really want to know why the GT's horsepower continues to go down.. 180, then 173, now 170? What's goin' on with that??

Noted a few more differences between '05 and '04 pricing/options:The Sport Package isn't being offered (at least on "Build Your Own"); spoilers are still there.The Moon&Tunes is $10 less than in '04. However, the discount for having both M&T AND Power has gone down from $700 to $600.AND they changed the names of the colors!Shadow is now "Moonstone"Satellite is now "Platinum"

I might be the only one, but I really like the '05 in two tone.

I got my '05 with the discounted power package. They weren't selling 2-tones at the time, though....
