The Toyota Matrix is a car manufactured by Toyota in Canada and sold there and in the United States. It is the Toyota version of a joint venture between Toyota and General Motors; the GM version is the Pontiac Vibe. Both cars are identical mechanically and practically identical internally, but they are clothed in different sheetmetal to look somewhat different. Both vehicles are small but tall station wagons styled in a trendy, quasi-SUV fashion and marketed to a fairly youthful market segment. They were introduced in the 2003 model year.
