Would've made sense for the current Corolla hatchback to be called the Matrix.Anyways, I really hope Toyota brings this here, because they're losing a big chunk of the pie. I've recommended HR-Vs and Crosstreks to many friends - all asked if there was a Toyota competitor.

Can't tell in this video what it is, watching it on an old laptop.the reviewer said it has leather, but it might not actually be leather...it might be that "softex" stuff that toyota makes, which apparently feels like leather but is more durable.
