I have about 4 right in my neighborhood, one right next door in fact. They're still more rare than most other cars though.

I see more than one every day. I live north of Detroit, so there are not as many imports on the road around here...As compared to say boston, dallas, houston, orlano. Places I have been...Jason

I live in Los Angeles, and I have only seen 1 Vibe since 2 weeks ago when i bought my Vibe. but I see about 2-3 Matrix everyday. Matrix must be outselling Vibe in California by 10-1 or something.

Hmm, I have the opposite experience. I see far more of the Vibe than the Matrix. I haven't seen a Matrix for months now.

I'm seeing more Vibe, but that's because there are more than 5 Pontiac dealership within 20 miles of me

I do not see many Vibes in the Mpls area, and I have been looking since ordering mine. I see the Matrix once in a while.

I see about 10 Matrices for every 1 Vibe on the road. I have had mine since the summer of 2002.

Maybe 2 or 3 a week. It's kind of nice not to see too many of them.... makes me feel that I own something special (for now).

Until this weekend, I had only seen one Frosty on the road beside me (unfortunately, the teenage girl driving was going far too slowly to notice a GT had whizzed by). However, I was up at the Sunshine Resort on Saturday and I saw not one, not two but THREE abyss Vibes in the parking lot! I'm sure genviber Chris was one of them....

I took my 1st road trip today, Phoenix to Tucson. It was about 230 miles round trip. I spotted 3 Matrices and 0 Vibes.P.S.I was really impressed with my gas mileage . . . . .40.282 mpg! Conditions; cruise control @ 65 mph, flat terrain, 4spd auto, temp 76F, and no A/C on.

I'm still not seeing very many of either. Whenever I see a Vibe--it is usually from out of state. A guy I work with has a sweet looking Matrix, so I see it every day. And there is a little old couple that shops at the store where I work a lot and they have a satellite monotone Vibe. But that's it. I see the same two cars all the time. I still have not seen a single shadow or frosty vibe on the road. Only on the dealer lot. So my car is still very unique--and I love that. Sometimes I almost (remember almost) wish that I had an Envy Vibe so that I would Never see another one. I think that the biggest seller will probably be satellite, just because a lot of the advertising for the vibe pictures a satellite one. That's just my opinion.....I love Salsa!!! But my second choice was Shadow.....

My local dealer had 3 on the lot, 1 week after I bought mine they had five. Another dealer I go by usally they have one hidden in line. This weekend they had 5 out front on showcase. I think they are getting the hint that people are intrested. Another well known crappy dealer told me we don't keep them on the lot, we will order one if you really want one. Week later I bought on off a lot.

Well, since September 2002, I have gone from seeing only mine on the road to seeing about 5 regularly (Lava, Satellite and Cosmic Blue). I am still the only Salsa on the road (whenever I am driving)....

Yesterday, driving back from the Strong Museum in Rochester, NY, I saw 3 different two tone abyss Vibes in the space of about 10 minutes. One AWD, one base, one was too far away to tell. Before that, the only Abyss vibe other than my own that I'd seen in the area was the GT I test drove prior to purchasing mine.
