How well do you think the current Mazda 3 will do versus the just arriving 09 Matrix and Vibe? The marketing and design target was the current 3 hatchback. I have not driven either yet, but got to sit and poke around one of each at the Wash DC auto show.
The interior of both the twins are about the same. Less sporty but larger than the 3. However just like the last Vibe/Matrix, when I am in the driver's seat I feel too surrounded by things. Having the hard plastic cargo and rear seatbacks are a big plus.
The outside of the Matrix looks so bad with all its fake air dams and such. The outside of the Vibe looks much better when you get the single colour instead of the lower gray stuff.
