Toyota Makes Something Fun Again

Toyota Matrix Rally Concept

Shown at SEMA and the LA Autoshow, the Toyota Matrix Rally concept looked pretty sweet.  It's good to see Toyota trying to be appealing to the enthusiast once again.  Even though this won't see production, it's nice to know Toyota has us in the back of their mind.

Toyota Matrix Rally Concept Intercooler

Although I didn't spot a rear differential, the hardware on this Matrix is pretty sweet.  I liked the wheel / brake combo and I especially liked the front mount intercooler keeping the supercharged 2.4 liter cool.  Stripped and caged too.

2. When the Matrix was first released, it sparked my passion for sport compacts. Being a warmed-over Corolla though, it has never gained traction with enthusiasts. THIS, on the other hand, might do the trick. The FMIC is really scary.
