Base Monotone Manual7. Base Two-Tone Automatic8. Base Monotone AutomaticMan oh man.. If you did that you would 1% of the total that were produced. I you were able to keep them all in Mint condition for the next 30 years, you would be sitting on a pretty good sized nest egg. if some one really wanted an Evey Vibe that is.

They only used the Envy color for a few months before they discontinued it.

I know but Fusion Orange has only been out a few months and it has a production of almost 3 times as many.

I suspect even envy would have sold more if it had been introduced like fusion was after the car had built some reputation and sales success.I'm impressed that Neptune was the second highest color produced. Then again, I always knew it was the nicest color. KSNeptune

Perhaps because the orange is a slightly more "hot" color for cars right now...And that green really really reminds me of snot.

But these counts are just for Vibes, I believe. Whether or not a color is used on other cars I wouldn't think would matter...if someone really wanted snot green paint. (Which, BTW, was also available on the Aztek.)

That green doens't look good on ANY car it's put on, IMHO. Ick.But the orange only looks good on the Vibe. I've seen it on other cars and it just looks odd...but it looks alright on the Vibe. The prototype orange was REALLY pretty...in the advertisement that was in GMC Directions like 4 years ago.

My Vibe love actually started with that ad in GMC Directions. I looked at that and thought, "What a really cool car." Mom liked it, dad liked it...I loved it. So I waited and waited, and no Vibes came along. Then, how convenient, when the lease runs out on my truck, lo and behold there is the VIBE! But it didn't come in that pretty non-metallic orange that was in the ad. It was like, Tony Stewart orange. I think the fusion is more brownish...to much so for my tastes.Dark green is okay on cars. I just don't like grass green (and I've seen some grass green S-10s) or pukey green. Envy is pukey green to me.

I even think it's gross on musclecars...and I love musclecars. I just really do not like that shade of green.

I really think that Pontiac should consider a Hunter Green for the Vibe..i think it would really look nice, I'd get it in the two tone as well.

I'd also like to know the break down of montone vs. two tone production numbers by color, just to be difficult.

Even though there are only 766 Envys, I think it's weird that nearly everybody has spotted one. There's one that drives around in Madison. A girl with stickers in her back window. I don't think she belongs to genvibe.

Booya! Limited edition! Bet y'all are just...ahh...green with envy....Right. I still think it's awesome that only 766 Envies were built. Does that make me special or something? Do I get to form my own little club within Genvibe? I dub it Envybe.
