Sorry for the old post dig, but this is the one I found while doing a search.

It would seem that it's going to be a 2004 model.

http://www.toyota.com/matrix/

Some of those specs look like toyota is back on track, but really, it seems to fall well short with the 6 speed model being fwd only. WTF? It would make sense that they could very easily use this car to bring out a wrx contender. It had so much potential to be the killer "hatch" of choice. To me the middle model would be the one of real choice. (XR). But for the price, the WRX would win hands down anyway. Sad

The Matrix has been out in the US for a while... It's built on the same platform as the current 'rollas, same 1ZZ-FE engines in the base model, & 2ZZ-GE w/6 speed gearbox in the XRS...

So alot of the engine mods etc are compatible with either the Matrix or Corolla, and in limited cases the Celica.

And if you're interested, the Matrix is also sold as a Pontiac Vibe. Check out www.matrixvibe.net for more details.
