matrix/vibe which parts are GM/Toyota blood

[echo7]

ok we all know that the vibe and matrix are joint efforts of GM and Toyota,, vibe made in the US by GM and te Matrix made in Canada by Toyota. We basically know that the engine of both cars are corollas.. but which part of the matrix is GM? are there any? maybe tranny?

Most of the Engine, Transmission, and Interior parts are Toyota. The base model Matrix and Vibe share same Engine and Transmission (1.8 Corolla engine) made by Toyota. The Matrix xrs and Vibe GT share Engine and Transmission (1.8 Celica GTS engine) made by Toyota. The only thing that I know that is GM is the vibe exterior parts.

Pretty much what ^ he said. The 2zz motor is a Yamaha engine to be exact - which is from the Celica GTS.

In that case, I love my Yamaha-Toyota Matrix XRS.

The Delco radios that appeared in the 03/04's were GM. Mechnically, it's all Toyota.

The 2ZZ-GE is still considered Toyota. The design was by Yahama.
