I assume 2009 production has ended - 2010's coming soon. Prices and specs already on edmunds.com and kbb.com etc. The beginning 2010 prices seem to be the same as the ending 2009 prices (which are substantially above the 2009 beginning prices).My dealer (davegill.com) on website has four 1.8L AT AC PPkg MSRP 19,480 units - Silver 17,142White 17,158White 15,480Steel Blue 19,158Don't understand why that one white model is nearly $1,700 less. The $17,152/$17,158 looks like invoice less the $500 rebate and $1,000 loyalty rebate - I don't know. On Jan. 9th they advertised 4 - MSRP 19,480 units for $15,148 after rebates. Had white, silver, black and gray. I jumped on the gray one subtracting my $3,000 GM Card rebate as well.Maybe they got a deal on those 4 from GM and the white one at $15,480 is the only one of those left.Columbus Auto show is next weekend. In previous years it ran 10 days. This year it is 4 days. Ohio, like most, if not all states, does not permit any sales activity at all by dealers at the show. Sales people cannot even hand out their cards. Many of the window price stickers even have the dealer names blocked out. Theses restrictions were lobbied for by the dealer associations to restrict competition. As I have often said, Ohio has the best legislature money can buy, and I am sure that is true most everywhere.

Employee Price less rebates if you have a competitor vehicle. Employees can share there price with one person that has a competiteve vehicle every quarter. There are employees that are willing to share!

Additionally, GM may be giving dealers extra cash on older vehicles. 2010 production has started, and 2010 Vibes are at dealers!

From Edmunds.com: Incentives on 2009 Vibes$500 Cash to Customer start: 03/03/2009 end: 03/31/2009Restrictions $500 Customer Cash may not be combined with 6.9% APR.-plus- $1000 Cash to Customer start: 03/03/2009 end: 03/31/2009Restrictions GM Bonus Cash is available on the purchase or lease of a new 2009 G3, Vibe, or Torrent.plus $1000 Cash to Customer start: 03/03/2009 end: 03/31/2009Restrictions Only for current GMAC Smartlease/Smartlease Plus/Smartbuy/SFS Lease/Balloon customers w/ contract end date through 9/30/09 and current lessees of GM/non-GM car/light duty truck w/non-GM contract w/ end date through 9/30/09. Good towards purchase or non-GMAC lease.plus$1000 Cash to Dealer start: 03/03/2009 end: 03/31/2009Restrictions: GM March Clean Sweep Overage Dealer Cash is only available on vehicles with specific VIN numbers. Please see your dealer for VIN eligibility. ----------------So the $500 and $1,000 loyalty is now for everyone, and for marketing reasons I have never understood certain leasors get another $1,000. Maybe that is to help toward the cost of early lease termination. Then there is another $1,000 that the dealer gets but only on certain VINS. Maybe this was a program to get dealers to order more vehicles.

Edmunds - on the 2010 1.8L you can get the fold down passenger seat in this packageCargo Management Package $195Includes Rear Cargo Storage System and front passenger flat-folding seatback with rear table surface and vertical adjust head restraint.[The rear cargo storage system was $150 for the 2009 - so the fold down seat adds only $45.] And the roof rack is back as an option for $395.
