According to http://media.gm.com/servlet/Ga...12754 , In February, Pontiac sold 7043 new G6's, and 5022 new Vibes. I still have never seen a Vibe commercial on tv, the only Vibes I have ever seen on TV were the one in the GTO movimercial, and there's one on the top of the parking garage in the Cobalt commercial where the cars are playing with a ball. I think the profit margin on the Vibe must be ok but not nearly as much as for "pure GM" cars, because it seems like they care about selling just about any other car more than they care about selling Vibes.

Damn! Wish a) I'd seen this thread yesterday, and b) I had a camera phone. There was a black G6 in the car wash right behind me--that could have been a cool pic--catching it as it came through the blower!

QUOTE] They do have a commercial for the Vibe, it looks just like the GTO ad, dark city street, wet road, spinning tires, all that kinda stuff.

At the beggiing of the article it says "mobile telephone/camera users" I'm asuming that means camera phone since that's what hte article's about but it could also mean camera phone/camera users. I have a digital camera and there are tons of G6's around here...
