Re: AGAIN with the Jalopnik articles
When you're photoshopping stuff, how does one not notice you were comparing the dash of the RHD Voltz/1st gen Matrix with the 2nd gen Vibe? Geez.
At any rate, it wasn't a ridiculous rebadge at all. The Pontiac was a far better looking car than the Matrix and Toyota knew that.

"The RHD interior seemed to pull more parts from the Matrix than the Vibe, just to keep things nice and confusing."
