#20 of 42 Guages by csmatrix Feb 16, 2007 (2:05 am)
It would be really cool if they put ice blue guages on the new Matrix.
#21 of 42 New Matrix by moos Feb 20, 2007 (1:42 pm)
According to the dealership the Matrix is being replaced with the Toyota Blade...just google Toyota Blade and you'll see it. It's already being sold in Japan it's to be competiion with the Mazda 3 wagon. I don't get why they just don't fix the flaws with this and leave it alone...too many "look alikes" anyway!

Replying to: moos (Feb 20, 2007 1:42 pm) I was dissapointed when I heard the Matrix was being replaced with the Blade. I think they should put the Matrix on a shortened Rav4 chassis and make it an entry level SUV since thats why most people buy them for anyways and bring over the Blade to compete with the 3
#23 of 42 Rav4 by csmatrix Feb 27, 2007 (9:49 pm)
Since they are going to replace the Matrix with the Blade, I might get a Rav4 since thats what I wanted from the start. I love those SUVs, they're awesome

#25 of 42 Matrix is not an SUV, never meant to be by mikus Jun 14, 2007 (4:34 pm)
Matrix is a Corolla hatchback, full stop. It is/was a perfect car, but Toyota listens to idiots who wants bigger, bigger, bigger. Toyota already screwed up the new xB by blowing its size and by installing huge 2.4 liter from the Camry. Older xB mileage was about 35, new xB is rated only 25MPG. Global warming, bring it on.   Current Matrix has a perfect engine for its size, don't make it bigger. And bring back XRS, this is one fun car. I don't want to change much besides fake aluminum trim, it is ugly and well, fake. Either put the real thing, or make the dash clean and simple like on Corolla.   And those of you who want an SUV, go get a RAV-4 or Suzuki SX4. There are many SUVs around, Matrix is just a compact hatchback and should stay a compact and fuel-efficient hatchback. Replies to this message: dgornstein (Jun 15, 2007 11:50 am)

Replying to: mikus (Jun 14, 2007 4:34 pm) I agree with mikus. When I was car shopping, I was specifically looking for a car that had a fair bit of storage, but wasn't the size of an SUV, even a small SUV. Basically, that meant a wanted a wagon. I've had nothing but exceptional reliability from the Toyotas I've owned, so that's where I looked. It turns out that the only wagon Toyota makes is the Matrix (not counting the Scions, which I considered, but ultimately didn't like the style of). It's a shame they discontinued the Camry wagon, or I would have looked at that, too. But I like the Matrix. It suits my needs.
#27 of 42 the next generation model by otis12 Jun 17, 2007 (7:32 am)
1. bigger engine (2.4) with a 5-speed auto transmission -- please ditch the 4-speed. 2. return of AWD - maybe with a driver-operated switch to go from front-wheel drive to four-wheel drive or the option to let the car automatically select -- I like to have driver control at times 3. fold-down passenger seat with hard backside for hauling long objects. 4. optional raised suspension package for greater ground clearance Replies to this message: dgornstein (Jun 18, 2007 12:36 pm) suydam (Jun 18, 2007 3:11 pm) doug61 (Jul 13, 2007 6:37 pm)
#28 of 42 hmmm by nippononly Jun 17, 2007 (10:10 pm)
sounds like you want to "Outback" the Matrix...
#29 of 42 Matrix by sales2010 Jun 18, 2007 (10:16 am)
I would like standard VSC, stability control, ABS, side curtain airbags, and fog lights. I think the paint should be of better quality. Better fit and finish since the Matrix suffers some rattles.   I would like the engine to stay the same. Possibly, I would like a 5 speed automatic transmission
