Matrix, known in the States as the Pontiac Vibe, is an intermediate genre car. Either a minivan, or a large hatchback, or maybe a compact crossover. As in the first generation (since 2003), the second generation car was created on the same Corolla platform. And it was only about the markets of the USA, Canada and Mexico. Matrix is assembled in Canadian Cambridge. Vibe is available in California.
Despite the fact that, according to official information, models were developed jointly by Toyota and GM, their technical filling is Toyota. Engines - the famous 1.8-liter 1ZR-FE, replacing the 1ZZ-FE. And the 2.4-liter 2AZ-FE, which aims to become an alternative to the powerful 2ZZ-GE Matrix / Vibe of the previous generation. Boxes are also Japanese. This is the only "mechanics" and two automatic transmissions: 4- and 5-speed. The latter is offered with an overhead motor. With it, four-wheel drive is available. In this case, a double-lever circuit is used at the rear. In another there is a twisting beam. Front - McPherson.
3-4 complete sets in different North American markets do not carry any revelations. The usual "American" car, pampering customers only with internal volume, but not with the quality of materials. However, the customers themselves are few - at Toyota announced that the third generation Matrix / Vibe is not yet expected.
