Hi there,Well with all the new GM Card and GM discounts, my hubby wants to trade in my 2004 two-tone abyss vibe for a new 2005. I'm beginning to get the suspicious feeling that there aren't any two-tone 2005 models. While at one dealership, the salesman said that as far as he knows GM is not making any two-tone 2005 models. I was sort of bummed because I like the two-tone. Oh well...it's also too bad that they didn't introduce a new color for 2005...rather they just renamed Shawdow and Satellite. Oh and is it just me but is the seat back pocket for the driver side just not there any more??Maybe someone knows more about these details...I've been out of the loop lately...so if you can please educated me.

I guess because the incentives are good and my hubby would like to get me a new car. We wouldn't lose much money if any by going to the 2005. Granted I wasn't abig fan of the new front side of the 2005 but it's growing on me now and I do like the fact that the new moon and tunes package is nicer.

It looks like two-tone '05s are finally making their way to dealer's lots. Here are some photos of a Salsa two-tone '05:http://www.driveultimate.com/Pontiac/6177_1.htmlAnd here's a Platinum two-tone '05:http://www.driveultimate.com/Pontiac/6172_1.htmlBoth are from a dealer in Virginia. They are the first photos of two-tone '05s I've seen.[Sigh] I still prefer the 03-04 front end.

I think that the 2 tones on the 05's look ten times better. I dunno why though.Inder

i see that they're sticking with the '04 side 'skirt' design...so 04 flaps will be required...

I saw a two-toned 05 Saturday at a dealership. It was Neptune, nice but I personally don't like the two-toned action.

Finally, 2-tone 2005 Vibes materialize! Can't wait to see a Neptune... I personally prefer 2-tones, look a little more "rugged" and less surface to tak care of. I wish I could afford to dump my '03 and get a new car... Allegedly the dealer has ordered a Neptune 2-tone to put on the lot, and coincidentally will be equipped exactly like I would want. Will have to wait and see when that thing comes in, maybe I could afford it, maybe not... Probably not, but never hurts to try to trade. lol!
