car rides fine but new console is weak - I miss the storage lid. did they get rid of it to cut costs? or for some other reason?I read in another post someone found a lid from an old vibe in a salvage yard - any insight as to whether it is easy to add on to the '05 console?and can a lid be ordered from a pontiac parts supplier?

Yes it can or a toyota dealership but I would try your local salvage yard first. Here a thread about the one I found two days ago for $15 and I local salvage yard in my area:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=15208

I've never seen the '05 center console...does someone have a pic?

See this thread, where I got a Matrix console cover to replace the standard one in my '05. (it's kinda buried in the thread)It's EXTREMELY easy to do.http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=12602

I could just link to it here, instead of making you hunt through the thread!

That really blows that GM would opt for the lesser one. The mini-compartment is so very useful!

Heck yeah! Where the heck would I store my fruit roll ups? Huh?! Where?! Noff said.Glad I got an 03. That new center console looks cheap...as in GM cheap.
