GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I was browsing the Leaf forum this morning and came across this picture:http://www.mynissanleaf.com/do...=viewThe poster was saying the Vibe shouldn't park there as its not low emissions. I replied that although its not low emissions, most Vibe owners would argue it is fuel efficient!

The Vibe actually is a ULEV (Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle). We can't see the picture though, for we are forbidden

I think the same thing when I see a Nissan Armada or Hummer H2 parked in one Can't see the pic though.

The Vibe is an efficient car. And according to the sticker under my hood the Vibe is either a LEV or ULEV, so it works.

Hey, the Vibe owner removed the badging and antenna. They're doing their part. And on a similar note... does your Leaf really have that 100% ELECTRIC badging?!Even the grumpiest senior to the 16 year olds getting their licenses know the Leaf is electric. At least in my head. Thankfully it's not as awful as the treatment GM was giving its hybrids a few years back:

Heh, reminds me of places where hybrids and electric vehicles are permitted to use the high-occupancy vehicle lanes, and "regular" vehicles aren't. My car gets better highway mileage than my family members' Camry Hybrid and Malibu Hybrid.

No the 100% Electric is not on the Leaf - Owners are adding that themselves. Mine just says Zero Emission on the side and rear.

Quote, originally posted by 09vGT »REBEL! Yeah that's me, breakin' all the rules! Actually I had emailed IKEA asking what these "green" parking spots were and if I could charge my EV there. The reply was they don't have charging spots, but I was "more than welcome to park my EV" in the hybrid spot.
