2005 Toyota Matrix on toyota.ca

New stuff I saw:
- no more Delco radio (you lucky 05 owners!)
- the center console surrounding the radio looks slightly different. I think there's a clock above the radio
- Lunar Mist Metallic (USA) aka Titanium Metallic (CAN) is no more. It's replace with Silver Streak Mica. I believe this is an existing colour that's on the previous generation Camry's
- another new color option - Meteorite Metallic. Looks like a dark grey. Probably a color in between the Phantom Grey and black.

And here's a kick in the nuts AGAIN...
- XRS is rated at 170hp@7600rpm

i know the concept matrix had altezzas, but these are a different style, and look nasty..

the front's okay, needs an XRS style kit..

i like the new position of the fog lights... definitely needs a body kit option also... i like the 03-04 grill way better...

i like this grille, Caldina style, but i dont like how the body kit is too high, it should have smaller protruding lips...

at least the front won't scrape as bad as previous gen's!

I was in the market for an 04. My dealer got one 05 in on Tursday and I like what I saw and picked it up yesterday.
