Observation about Toyota Matrix

I've seen 4 or 5 Matrices/Vibes now, and every single one is driven by 40-50something white women. Glad that Gen-y advertising is working out for Toyota's newest minivan. Very cool, indeed...

I was checking those out at the Toyota dealer the other day. To me, they just look "cheapish." Also, the styling is weird, the way the back windows sort of come to a "v" in the back. Yuk. Not to mention....wheel covers. Wheel covers on a "sporty" car? Yeah right

It's a mini van alright!

I am sure it has been posted earlier. There was anarticle in Popular Science where P5 was compared with Focus ZX5 and Toyota Matrix. I would go along with Focus, but Matrix is a whole new class. Compare the Matrix to PT Cruiser. Now, those cars are the same class. Do not mix them up with compacts, there is nothing compact about Matrix.
