Default Toyota launches 2007 Matrix M-Theory



TORRANCE, Calif., July 31 -- Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., today announced manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRP) for the 2007 Corolla Matrix. Corolla Matrix will be a carryover for the 2007 model year and will arrive at dealerships in August.
Also arriving in August is the new 2007 special edition Matrix M-Theory package. The M-Theory adds several sporty exterior enhancements including unique Speedway Blue paint with matching rear deck lid spoiler, a large chrome exhaust tip and M-Theory badges. M-theory also features 17-inch Caldina alloy wheels with P215/50R17 tires, four wheel disc brakes, logo floor mats, and an individually numbered limited edition plaque. The M-Theory will also feature enhanced vehicle handling thanks to a standard sport tuned suspension and sport strut tower brace will also enhance vehicle handling.

Only 2,500 units of the special edition Matrix M-Theory will be built. The Matrix M-Theory special edition package will carry a base manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $1,500.

In addition to the M-Theory, the 2007 Matrix is available in two model grades: Standard and XR, which are carryover for the 2007 model year. Matrix MSRPs remain unchanged. The base MSRP for the Matrix starts at $15,260 for the Matrix Standard with a five-speed manual transmission to $17,570 for the XR with four-speed automatic transmission.

The Matrix with all-wheel drive and Matrix XRS models have been discontinued for 2007.

Redesign the damn thing!!

And they canceled the best versions of the vehicle?.......Why? That was the only versions that interested enthusiasts. I know someone's probably going to say that they didn't sell and blah blah but Toyota is cash rich an the new Corolla is due next year so one more year would have been fine.
But,who the hell am I to judge the business decisions of the most powerful car company in the world?

The Matrix is down right ugly. I know a lot of people who were in the market for a car in this
price range, class, etc....but did not consider the Matrix based on its looks alone.

Someone needs to hit this ugly duckling with the L-finesse stick.

M theory does sound really stupid. However it looks good especially with the caldina wheels. If only this were based on the XRS than it would actually draw attention. Well i guess the only thing else they can do is offer an M theory Corolla XRS.
