That article was a pile of contrived umbrage

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.

haha, yea, I noticed the 2nd gen dash, too. Pretty sloppy.
"The RHD interior seemed to pull more parts from the Matrix than the Vibe, just to keep things nice and confusing."
