M5, I said recent trend, the Outback was before the trend. When the MP5 came out, it was followed by the Focus ZX5, Matrix/Vibe, Aerio, Rio Cinco, and the Elantra GT. That is what I'm talking about here...

Right, like the M3 started the trend of performance sedans, if you discount everything released before it.

I'm going to say the worst on there has got to the Pontiac Vibe GT. Its just a cleaner Aztek.

That pretty much sums up my view on the topic, MazKid.

You all are aware that the Matrix and the Vibe are the same vehicle... right?

Just different outer stylings. Imported by Toyota for Pontiac.

Er, of course you could say that, but they've got more differences than similarities.

The main one being that they're sold by different companies, which hinders the perception of the buying public ("The lemmings")
