That's a picture of the SEMA'ized" (customized) Toyota Matrix "rally" which basically uses a TRD supercharged and intercooled 2AZFE from the Camry. The production model will be more tame, although I expect Toyota to eventually roll out TRD superchargers for both the Corolla and Matrix considering it uses the same lame engine as the Scion tC, xB, Camry, Rav4, etc. That's their lame ass way of bumping up horsepower to "kinda sorta" compete with the Civic SI and Mazda 3, which will be the main competitors. I personally am annoyed at Toyota's lack of imagination as far as engines and trannies go, at least here in the US. Australia got a standard 6 speed tranny on their Corollas, which are basically the same as these. We get the same crappy 5 speed that's been around since the 80's. Oh well... at least they both look alright.

where the V6 ?!

These are compact cars... V6's will be a step up to mid-sized.
