Seen any '06 Vibes yet?

Post by kostby »

Just curious...I saw a new white 2-tone Vibe just sold by my local Pontiac dealer last evening (still had the 30-day temporary license tag in the back window). I didn't get close enough to see the window sticker, but it was just about this time last year that the '05's began appearing in dealerships across the country.I'm sure it was ordered by the customer, because the local guy doesn't stock 2-tone Vibes, only monotone, so it COULD have been an '06. If I see it again soon, I'll post pics.

None down here... We only started getting 2-tone 2005 models in this part of the state back in March, but all in small quantites mind you...

I have not seen any. What are the differences between the '05 and '06 (if any).

Just saw a Fusion '06 on the carrier, so I didn't get to see the interior, BUT....I did see the new exhaust system, with the chrome tip made on it...

The new tip isn't as big as the accessory tip, but it is one piece, no clamps, looked very nice.

If you go to Edmunds.com (new cars) They now have toe 2006 pricing and all the package prices, plus they still have the 2005 also.

I sat in one yesterday at the local Pontiac dealer and it doesn't seem like too much has changed. Nothing important, anyway.

Well, after just pricing one, I see that they're still overpriced for 2006, IMHO.

My brother is looking at buying a new car, he lkes my Vibe, and we were comparing cost of Vibe vs matrix, and right now with the employee discount and $1K rebate, the 05 Vibe costs less than a similarly equipped Matrix. I thought the Build your own Vibe site was lame until I saw the build your own Matrix site. + to GM there.
