Matrix came out in 2003. It's built on the same platform as the current Corolla. A newly redesigned model is due out for the 2008 year.

You can do a search for the 2008 Toyota Matrix. There are spy photos out for the new model which will be slightly bigger.

Answer 2

The Toyota Matrix is a compact wagon manufactured by Toyota in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada and sold in North America.

The Matrix is the Toyota version of a joint venture between Toyota and General Motors; the GM version is the Pontiac Vibe, made at NUMMI in Fremont, California. A third version, also assembled at NUMMI, was sold in Japan from 2002 to early 2004 as the Toyota Voltz. Although the Voltz was sold under the Toyota brand there, the styling was nearly identical to the Vibe.

The Matrix and the Vibe are identical mechanically and practically identical internally, but they are clothed in different sheetmetal in order to appear somewhat different. Both vehicles are narrow but tall station wagons styled in a trendy, quasi-SUV fashion (called a crossover utility vehicle or "CUV" by Toyota) and marketed to a fairly youthful market segment. This type of car is often referred to as a sport wagon. They were introduced in the 2003 model year and based on the Toyota Corolla platform. It filled the gap in the Toyota line-up since the discontinuation of the Toyota Corolla station wagon in 1997. A facelift for 2005 brought minor revisions inside and out, including to the front bumper, taillights, and stereo.

Two 1.8 L engines are offered in the Matrix: the economical 1ZZ-FE, borrowed from the Corolla, which produces 130 hp, and the performance-oriented 2ZZ-GE borrowed from the Toyota Celica GT-S, which produces 164 (previously 180 hp in 2003, 173 hp in 2004, and 170 hp in 2005) hp. The Matrix was also available with all-wheel drive until 2007.

In 2007, Toyota discontinued use of the 2ZZ-GE engine and dropped the XRS from the Matrix lineup. The all-wheel drive variant was also dropped for the 2007 model year.
