    just assuming, if it was a standard colorado plate, i would think its not a test car, usually the manufacturers have a special plate for test vehicle, i think it says manufacturer on the bottom of the plate.

    or some random person bought a matrix and swapped the entire powertrain and all harnesses

    Nate, I'll keep my eyes out for it. Don't get up to the Peoples Republic of Boulder that often but you've piqued my interest.

    Interesting.. a possible Matrix HSD?

    Well the Matrix XRS does use the 2.4 litre 2AZ engine from the Camry so the engine bay does fit a 2.4 litre. The question is whether it can fit the other components too.

    The Matrix isn't out til Feb 2008 so keep an eye out ppl!

    There's no way a regular person could've gotten a hand on a new Matrix (heck, I think they're still loading up on pre-productions. Production might start soon though to create a stockpile for the February launch but it's definitely not a regular Joe in the driver's seat.
