"Toyota has been cutting corners on its interior fabrics and materials for a few years now and the Matrix is hard hit."

oh how the mighty are falling. there is a very nice misprint on page two stating that it archives 12 mpg city.

Hey guess what? GM is selling the same car with equally poor materials and finish.

Materials in the Matrix were never great, I own a 2003 w/ hard plastics everywhere.

I've been seeing quite a few new Matrices and Vibes around here.

Both ugly as hell.

The Matrix looks deformed, and there's something seriously wrong with the Vibe's rear design.

Magnum mates with G8 GT, more at 11.
(my thoughts on its rear).

The Matrix is seriously the ugliest car/wagon/hatch/mini-CUV/whatever on the road today. "Deformed" is a spot-on adjective. Thankfully, I've only had to see one so far. I'd have gouged my eyes out from the visual pain, but I was driving...

I've seen a few Vibes at my Pontiac dealer...I want to cry every time...
GM needs to dump toyota and come up with a better Vibe.

Well... GM had to do SOMETHING with the left over Aztec parts.
Isn't that how Pontiac got onto the Matrix platform?
