Yeah, it looks exactly like the Auris but with a giant body kit or the new concept of the Toyota Matrix.

This is the replacement for the Matrix. It'll probably come out with a boring body kit and normal wheels so I'm not going to get excited.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks pretty snazzy for what it is?

yep even without the body kit...that paint looks very appetizing
i'm always jealous at Asia/Australia exclusive Toyotas so it's nice this is coming...better looking than the new fit that's for sure

Bump: The production version was released, and it's toned down to the point of being ugly. No need to quote the link because we all know it's the Corolla underpinnings, so 1.8L 4-banger, with CVT or 6-speed for ~23k CAD.

Matrix replacement.

As an employee of Toyota I really have to say there selection under the Toyota brand is just crap. They have 0 fun to drive cars and they are all starting to look the same.
The Scion brand is about the same with the FRS and TC being the only two models that retain the fun to drive appeal.
Lexus on the other hand has a number of more fun to drive cars but there price point its out of reach for many.

Would have been nice to see the Celica continued on rather than replaced by the somewhat bland TC.

They're also releasing a 4 door sedan soon that's built by Mazda's Mazda 2 plant. At least it will be light and nimble!

That is the most depressing front end design I've ever seen on any car, period. Looks like some kind of angry sad depressed looking thing

Looks like Toyota took the concept iM and stuck it in a panini grill and out came this production version with its flattened front end.

They should've kept the original Auris front end design. Hell even the Corolla looks more aggressive than this thing.

I'm glad they're finally bringing the auris over, it's what our matrix should have been from the get go. However, kind of bittersweet they had to differentiate it for the sake of differentiation. Keep it the way it was, sell it at corolla prices and no reason it wouldn't sell like hotcakes like it already does in other parts of the world.
