Toyota will be updating the Matrix in Spring 2008 and the automaker is using the Mazda3 as its design inspiration (good choice) for the hatchback. The Corolla-based vehicle is already sold in Europe as the Auris and in Japan as the Blade. The US-based Matrix will have different sheet metal than in other markets but it may be taking on the Blade name since Toyota has registered the name with the US Patent and Trademark office. The Japan market Blade has a 2.4L engine producing 158 HP, which would be a big bump from the 126 HP that powers the current Matrix.

okay??? If you believe that the Bonneville with its gaudy long ass hood with its crazy stretch out lights was a true Pontiac, then there is no use on discussing modern design wit you. The proportions on this car are a million times better and more aggressive. I'm not 100% in love with this car but this is the best looking Pontiac I've seen since.......damn since I've been driving. I think Pontiac will have no problem selling these, especially since they are only going to be a limited number of them sold. Every site I look at, and every person I talk to, who are not car snobs or traditionalist LOVE this car. Obviously on car sites people are passionate about cars, but we are a small percentage of the buying public. Pontiac has a winner.

No doubt guys who cares what it looks like..its about the technolgy inside. They obvioulsy just slap some Parts from other cars on the extrerior. But whats exciting is this commentment to hydrogen, trying to leep from the competion...I wonder when Hydrogen stations will stop popping up? 2012?

I wish i took a pic of the back. The clear light showing the red bulb look great with the dark blue and crome.

Walking to a meeting through Times Square and i couldn't believe it a New Aura drives right up to me with Michigan plates. I'm from Detroit so i'm used to seeing pre-production cars but not in NYC. Anyways the pics are not great, they are from my phone. Funny thing is that these guys who look like "ROCK STARS" walk out and all these guys came and help them out. I'm not into Rock so i had no clue who they were i just took two pics. LMAO the funny thing is that this guy came up to me and told me to stop taking pics, he thought i was taking pics of the people but i was taking pics of the car!! Sounds like one of those lame commercials. Anyways the car looked HOTT it was blue with chrome accents. Dual exhaust, BUEATIFUL interior...i was pretty impress. anyways enjoy the pics.

This is a really cool video. You can hear the power in the engine! And look at all the hype and fans. http://www.ericlundberg.com/video.htm enjoy

Hmm I see a manual? i wonder if the new View will have this option.

actually to me it looks pretty close. I mean just little tweeks here in there.

I can' t tell does it still have the hood scopes?

UMM. those are only computer generated images...which means these are chops/rendering of what they think it will look like.

I like it with a crome cross bar, or no cross bar at all (like how they evolved the Malibu.)

She dropped out of highschool???????? How the hell did she get out of elementry school without being able to read..at least the basics? This is a great example how our nations school systems sucks!! I mean we spend BILLIONS for war and other BS but our nations most important resources (our children) are being left behind.
