Shouldn’t they be “Matrices”?

Interesting how Toyota recalls are national news, but Government Motors recalls are yesterday's news.

from the article: HAH!

Separately, General Motors Co. is recalling 200,000 Pontiac Vibes in North America due to the same problem, GM spokesman Alan Adler said. The Vibe is similar to the Matrix and was built under a joint venture between Toyota and GM at a now-closed factory in Fremont, Calif.

If I was not unemployed right now I would go buy a Toyota.

Toyota recalled 1.13 million Corolla sedans and Matrix hatchbacks Thursday because their engines may stall, the latest in a string of quality problems at the Japanese automaker.

Why are people still buying these things?? Toyota has recalled just about everything but their senior management!!

Thanks for the post, just made an appointment to take my 2007 Vibe in next week. This could explain why the engine seems to power down for a split second in 4th gear. The rpm’s will fall very briefly from 2,000 to 1,000. It recovers quickly but I’ve never had a car do this before and it makes me very uneasy.
