Ya the Caldina has the current GT4 model available, rocking AWD and a 4th gen 3sgte I believe. It would be interesting to see a caldina front end conversion on a matrix, I'd assume it would be bolt on for the most part. To bad the US awd matrix didn't come with a 3sgte option.

it can come with the 3S-GTE, made famous in the Celica All-trac (GT4), and of course the MR2 turbo...
except this version comes in a wagon body, 260 hp, and AWD...

All the picks I've seen are right hand drive though. That could take some getting used to. But.....260 hp with AWD? Kickin some mustang ass!
