Wow, I still think it's kinda ugly but after seeing that video... it's a rather cool car.

 

[RossMAN]

Cool.

I've been thinking about test driving the new Matrix and Corolla just for the heck of it.

 

[Nefrodite]

ah yes, now thats what the civic si should have been. seeing more and more on the roads

the vibe on the other hand doesn't look so hot

I think it's a good looking car..

I thought the Matrix was goofy-looking at first, but it's grown on me a little bit over time.

Still don't like it. What's so great about it? Why would you want a 3000lb 130hp car? I'd much rather have a top end Civic, or if I wanted more room and "utility-ishness" then I'd get an Outback (more room and more power).

 

[Nefrodite]

the higher end matrix is 180hp i believe, and awd i think

You can get the Matrix with a 1.8 liter 180HP engine (but no AWD). With that, it rips 0-60 in around 7 seconds. Much faster than an Outback
