there is no xrs awd cause the trany could not take it(power wise)
I think Toyota is pretty stoopid here...they could have yanked their Celica GT-4 drivetrain components for the Matrix.

But I think the real reason behind it was that Toyota knew that their drivetrain COULD take the 40 extra horsepower, but they were concerned that the SUSTAINED USE of that 40 extra horsepower by hotshoe teenaged drivers would kill the tranny quickly and give Toyota a bad name...so they decided against it.

There are lots of people I know who want the 4WD, but do not want that crappy 135hp engine.
