i have foundout what the Wave color looks like. it is so geuorgeous i love it better than the Neptune! i got a few shots before i had to work check em out.this one was suposed to be the night shot but it didnt turn out too well but oh well.

that is one awesome color man!! i like it alot

It's OK...but I still love Neptune!

*WAVEs* Looks like a cross between Chevy's Arrival Blue (a.k.a. Pontiac's Electric Blue) and that blue color Toyota puts on whatever trucks those are with whatever sport package that is on them.. Yeah, I made some sense there. I'm not feelin' the 2-tone stuff though... It looks ok, but I think this would be best left with monotone. It just doesn't look like it would be able to look good in either form the way Neptune can.At any rate, always cool to have this "barely there" paint applied in a new color to get all chipped up! Add a bit more diversity, you know?

you mean the Tundra X-Runner. i think its closer to that Matrix M-Theory special edition thing Toyota just released. but its still a great from Pontiac

Wow that is a nice colour I am going to the dealer tonight to see it.I still love my Neptune though

Nice color, I would love to see a monotone.

Eh! It is Ok, A little too bright for me. I love my neptune!

I'm kinda with BC on this one. Maybe it's just the two-tone....I think a monotone would look pretty cool.

Hummm... Smuf color!

yeah i think it would be rocking if it was on a monotone, but thats a neat color, it sparkles!

what year is that colour on....because my dealer has a wack of 06's but none ever in that colour........they had about 60 vibes and none like that,..........is it new for 07?

Quote, originally posted by Vibe_dude ».......is it new for 07?yup Wonder when the first one to show up here (genvibe) will be?

That's a pretty cool color! Much better than whatever that other color is that is closer to green.

Quote, originally posted by MiVibe-ToolGuy »Hummm... Smuf color! Exactly! Maybe if it was monotone...but blech...

yea but think of it this way: its the first pic of the new color. now we know what it looks like on the car but it still needs to be Mono.

I don't think it is, or at least on the ten zillion of those things running around here now it doesn't look like it... The one on the truck is metallic, right? Looks to me like it is.Glad to see the Vibe one is a metallic. I don't really like non-metallic blues that much...

Not too bad but I guess to me, it's just "too blue"..Like most have said, maybe in monotone it would look better, but perddy dang sure I still woulda picked my Stealth....

hey bud where have you been?? long time no see. yea mono would look a whole lot better

I was passing a dealership and I noticed what seemed to be a lighter/brighter shade of blue then Neptune, anyone seen/have/ or even know what I'm talking about? I think it was an '05 or '06, cause of the grille. And while on the subject, is there any noticeable difference in the exterior of the vibe or the years of ‘05 & ‘06. What about the ‘03 & ‘04?

It was an 06. It's a new color for 06. I believe it is called Wave.

i think the only major difference between the 03-04 and the 05+ is the front bumper was majorly smoothed out.

did it look something like this http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=24526

it wasn't two-toned, but yep that's the one, it looks so awesome

i haven't seen that color on a vibe before, and i was just at the pontiac dealer i got mine from a few days ago. that's a nice shade of blue, my mom would love that color

Had a Wave sighting yesterday but silly me, forgot to get a pic! So, I cruised by the dealer on my way home from work today to get a couple. It's a really sharp color! The appearance in pictures doesn't seem to flatter it though, it looks like it has a tendency to appear more obnoxious than it really is. It is bright, but not overpowering (at least I don't think it is.)IMHO, it is good so not in 2-tone, but in monotone it sure is sweet!

yeah cp, i agree 173776% with the 2 tone comment. it looks great in monotone. nice pics

I thought the new 06 colour was that slatey blue colour or was that a new 05 colour? Anyway this is the first I've heard of/seen a wave blue Vibe! Interesting!

I think Wave is the new color for 07...and Stealth was the color for 06. I think.

Quote, originally posted by Kari »I think Wave is the new color for 07...and Stealth was the color for 06. I think. Okay I'm not losing my mind. And Stealth - thats the colour! I couldn't remember its name. I could see the colour in my mind, but couldn't remember what they had named it. I like that Wave colour. Unfortunately the hubby won't let me trade Sputnik in for it.... much as I love Sputnik, once in a while I get a urge for a new one.

More pics! And in a greater amount of daylight. Pardon the bird feces and dirt all over this car, apparently this dealer does not care about keeping their inventory looking good since everything on the lot looked just as bad. One thing though, NUMMI's paint job still SUCKS! Sometime last year, I saw an '06 monotone on a lot that had some terrible, horrible, nasty looking cladding. I hoped it was an isolated incident. The finish was so dull in spots, wavy, it just looked like absolute crap - like someone took a SPRAY CAN to the rocker panels. It is with great displeasure that I report this car is no different! Shame on you, NUMMI/Toyota/GM for letting something leave the factory looking like this. JMHO of course. The attached pic shows it (but the more obvious flaws are actually the dirt.) But up close in person, it looks really bad. It's not easy to paint plastic, but they can do better than that. The paint on the bumpers looked good, why can' they duplicate that with the rocker panels?

That's about the same color of the new Matrix 'M-type' that the toyota place has.

There's a Matrix at one of the Toyota dealers in that color. I've been meaning to take a picture of it becasue it was different looking but I keep forgetting. I had no idea they were making it an option on the Vibe too.Looks like the same color as the Autocross Vibe...I like it alot personally.

yea the monotone does look way better than the two tone!

Do they really put pinstriping on NEW cars? Here I've only seen them pinstripe used cars sitting on lots.

Oh yeah, pinstriping is alive and well, 'specially around here. Some dealers by me will mark up $100 for pinstriping on a car that doesn't even have it! I ended up with some on mine for a better price, I'm not complainin', I like the looks of it alright. At least they didn't rip me off too bad on it. heh!This Vibe featured little Pontiac emblems on the front doors, how cute! That must be at least an extra $100 on top of whatever they were charging! I never bothered to look at the window sticker.
