Maybe design wise i would say its more for the younger market.
but the Toyota Matrix XRS is nice

even though its looks kinda girly
it still packs a punch in the XRS almost similar to a Acura Integra power wise.
the 2ZZ-GE is a nice motor its DOHC (dual overhead cam) and VVTL-i (similar to honda's VTEC)
