As far as I know, you can't get an Envy Vibe anymore. Being replaced with Fusion Orange (what ever happened to Sunburst Yellow???) I have never seen a monotone Envy before. They don't seem to be fan favorites on GVC for some reason.

I've only seen one Envy in two-tone here.It's a cool colour and looks best in mono-tone IMO.Just a little too funky for my taste

The Envy color was discontinued shortly after the launch of the 2003 VIBE. It didn't even last the full model year. They are truly rare.

Same can be said for the Aztek or Avalache. Why does GM think people want plastic covered cars?quote:Just a little too funky for my tasteIt's too funky for most people - which is also why they didn't sell well and the color was discontinued!That's why I'd have bought one if they'd have still been available when I bought my Frosty Vibe! Very unlikely to see "your car" all over town.

quote: Why does GM think people want plastic covered cars?Hey Jethro...One of the real attractive features of the vibe when i was car shopping was that it had the plastic. It is awesome....i love the looks of the monotone but i wouldnt trade for anything. I wouldnt knock GM for the two-tone....anyone know the % of sales that are 2 tone and that are monotone? my guess is that a whole lot of 'em are two-tone....its so practical!I did buy my vibe in SHADOW...it is almost the same color as the cladding and blends very well. (the closest thing to a monotone that you can get in a two-tone) but I do have to say that even in colors that are opposites...like the frosty two-tone....it still looks great, at least to my eyes.BTW, jethro...where in MO are ya?

Was checking to see if my local Pontiac dealer knew anything about the S/C coming out this week. Of coarse they didn't even have a part number.But I did find and 'capture' a monotone Envy Vibe.
