 2003 Toyota Matrix - Review - Automobile Magazine
Toyota played the role of gracious host to Pontiac in the Matrix/Vibe development program.
That the 180-horsepower Matrix XRS is offered with both the six-speed manual and a four-speed automatic transmission, while the equivalent Vibe GT comes only with the six-speed, is because Pontiac said, "No, thanks, maybe later," to the autobox, reasoning that it didn't fit the GT's sportier profile.
Thus, the remaining differences between the Matrix and the Vibe are only in styling, perception, and cost.
