Toyota reportedly weighing weather to give its Corolla-based hatchback the blue pill or the red pill.
If you’ve had your eye on a Toyota Matrix
but have been dragging your feet about actually buying, we’d suggest
getting on with it, because word on the street has it that Toyota
will be discontinuing the hatchback in a little over a month from now.
Despite technically being a Japanese car, the Toyota Matrix has one of
the highest proportion of American parts of any car - import or domestic
– on the market. It was for a time also sold as the Pontiac Vibe, but
that of course ended when GM shut down the brand.
With the current Corolla still selling hot (Toyota claiming it as the
top-selling car in the world), and with a new Corolla around the corner,
the Matrix may not be long for this world. And the next-gen Corolla may
not spawn a new Matrix, either – at least not one wearing the same
nameplate. Sales could continue for a while in Canada, however, where
the Matrix has traditionally sold stronger than in the United States.
