Is it just me or do the colours of the Vibe have different name from Canada to the US. I believe the "Pumpkin" colour is refered to as "Sunburst" up here...

its "fusion" no matter where you go you silly goose!

It is called "Fusion" in the US

Yeah Fusion is called Sunburst up here.

So what's Neptune in the States then?

Neptune

Neptune. Orange is the only difference.

Oh.. OK. Thank you for clearing that up

I'm pretty sure that fusion means the exact same thing in French. Maybe Pontiac was hesitant to use a word like "Burst" in the United States because of the terror attacks and the war in Iraq?

I know fusion means the same thing no matter what language you say it in, but what I meant was if in French, fusion is a word whos definition is nothing like our definition of fusion. For example, holding up 2 fingers in the US means peace or victory but in some countries, it's the same as flipping someone off. But I got off my lazy (removed) and checked, it's the same spelling and definition.

I've refered to mine as fusion since the day I ordered it despite the fact I bought it in canada. The colour does get refered to as sunburst though by a lot, I didn't realise it was a canadian thing.

Colour? What's colour? You have an extra letter in there! Did canuckland get the envy green as well?

Maybe I'll ask my neighbour, she owes me a favour because of her behaviour and she knows alot about colour. Though I do think green would be a dishonour; time for a doughnut that has a bad odour.OU's driving you crazy yet?Hope you have a good sense of humour!!

The lowest common denominator for any location...

Hahahah..... that's funny! It's like a Dr. Seuss rhyme!

I keep seeing one at the Algonquin parking lot... wonder if its the same guy!

Then one I've seen has been in Sandy Hill (where I live for the next 4 days). There can't be very many around!
