Ack! the new matrix

[DSC]

Check out this ugly POS! 1.8L 4cyl awd(optional) with vvt pushing out an amazing 130hp. Although they do have the FR-S model with a 180hp(@7600rpm!) Celica GT-S engine, it still looks like shit!

I don't think it's ugly. But it is lacking some hp. But then again, I wouldn't care about any car other than Nissan to having good hp rating.

i don't think it's particularly &quot;ugly,&quot; better than a lot of new cars i'm seeing that will be coming out now.

Ugly as hammered donkey shit. &nbsp;I will toast them in my pickup. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I think it is decent.

It is trying to compete with small cars in that class (ford focus, etc..) And it puts out a decent amount of hp.

Plus, Toyota is pretty tight... Second best after Nissan in my book.

It would be cooler if it was awd or rwd though

1) nissan
2) toyota

Agreed

[vancouvers14]

if i had kids, i'd buy it.

[MingMing]

who knows, maybe it'll be the new trueno hahAA

[misnomer]

It's, uh, a minivan. . . . It's designed to get groceries, not race <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
