Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 13, 2008 5:52 am) It is significant to note that while Toyota dealers can't keep Corollas in stock, Matrixes are piling up in unprecedented numbers. While Matrix has a lot more utiltity than the Corolla sedan, it also consumes at least 20% more gas, making it less popular in times of $4 gas. The same applies to the xD (replacement for the xA).

Replying to: nippononly (Aug 13, 2008 6:56 am) In Brazil they actually sell a Corolla Fielder, which is a Corolla wagon. An no it looks nothing at all like a Matrix. I'd pick that for the extra space, better visibility, plus better mileage to boot.  My brother is shopping for a Hyundai Tucson and I suggested one of those as an alternative. Both are FWD and the Fielder actually costs less in Brazil. |

Replying to: nippononly (Aug 13, 2008 7:06 am) The one in the Matrix has almost vanished. Visibility isn't nearly as good, and keeps getting worse. Toyota dealers will gladly sell you an extra-cost backup cam, I'm sure.

Hmm, it's more of a 5 door hatch, in a way, but it looks quite nice IMO:

Replying to: nwng (Aug 14, 2008 10:07 am) Oh that's an Elantra wagon. The CR-V is actually morphing into something that you'd use to smuggle 500 cases of Coors from Texarkanna to Atlanta with a '77 Trans Am running blocker for you!
