 From what I've read, the 2003 Toyota Matrix is going to be built on the same platform as the Toyota Corolla. It's also the twin of the 2003 Pontiac Vibe. Here's some more information about the Toyota Matrix from the Edmunds.com's coverage of the 2001 North American International Auto Show: 2003 Toyota Matrix
In addition, we also have a active Pontiac Vibe (Corporate Twin) discussion on the Station Wagon Message Board. I'll let this one remain on this board, since these vehicles really do fall into the cross over category.

Kelly's Blue Book website has it marked as a 2002 model due out this summer. They also have the Pontiac Vibe as a 2002 due out this fall. Check it out under kbb.com click under car preview section. Leo |

I looked at KBB, but something is odd. It says the Matrix will launch this summer while the Vibe (Pontiac partner car) will not launch until Fall 2002. This does not make any sense. It is also clear, that to get the 180HP engine in either car, we're going to have to wait quite a while. FYI - Both the Toyota and Pontiac websites say the cars will launch in January 2002. Lori |

regarding the date. Reason being I have not posted an exact date in the title of this discussion. My previous post was quoting dates/information from Edmunds.com's auto show coverage... which quotes a "2003 Toyota Matrix... set for release in mid-2002". For further clarification, please feel free to direct your questions to the Edmunds.com's content editors. You can do that via the "questions, suggestions, and feedback" box near the bottom of this page. Good luck and sorry for the confusion. In the meantime, if I find out more information myself, I'll be sure to post it here. Thanks for your participation.

question does Vibe/Matrix duo have removable rear seats (like minivans)? I read that they have flip/fold seats, but what about removable? Also, is manual the only transmission available with 180hp engine? |
|
| If go to the video section under the auto show, there is a video clip of the Vibe. You can see the rear fold down seats are in the down position. Like most hatchbacks and wagons, it is not removable. But the area in the back will be flat once the rear seats are down. | |
|
Still not too much of info. Pretty nice interior/exterior 360º views. |
|
|
I looked at the pictures of the interior and there seems to be a large screen where the CD player is. Does anyone know if Toyota plans to make a GPS navigation system available on the Matrix in the US? |
