No, but I wish we did... I would get that if they came in a two door hatchback (like in the mid-late 90's)

Yeah - it's called a Matrix

j/k, but not far from the truth, perhaps...

We do have those funky station wagon thingys up here though.. what are they called.. ah yes. Toyota Matrix

its like a Corolla station wagon, very close to the one you posted.

BTW Mike.. people in other continents don't even acknowledge Canada as a country.. basically North America is the US, and Canada is part of it.

The Matrix is the 5 door version of the US Corolla (Corolla Alits)..

the Matrix is even named the Corolla Matrix, base and XR models with the 1ZZ-FE in either 4 speed auto, or 5 speed stick and optional AWD, but the Matrix XRS the 2ZZ-GE has a 6 speed only and ONLY FWD...

the mechanical twin is the Pontiac Vibe (rebadged as the Toyota Voltz), and it's virtually identical except for the exterior..

while they share almost all parts they're built in seperate plants, one makes Matrices, and the other makes Vibes/Voltz..

the pic you posted, i think is the AUS equivalent to the Toyota Allex (pretty much a 5 door Corolla with a 2ZZ-GE; same as our Matrix XRS/Vibe GT)...

so anyway, we did get it, but in a different body..

***Razo-E*** · 06-16-2005, 04:11 AM

Pics...

Gen 1 Matrix..

Gen 1.5 Matrix...

Gen 1 Vibe...

Gen 1.5 Vibe..

Voltz(i can only guess it changed with the Vibe)..

^^great comparison....

I love the Coroll Hatchback. Wish we got that instead of the Matrix. I mean, the Matrix is nice. It's big and roomy but it's lacking in power (and I'm not even a power hungry guy!). I'd take that hatch over the Matrix any day.
