Wow, I didn't know that. Was the same with the Geo Metro and Corolla back in the late 90s.

What's up with that? How is it that two completely diff car companies, like Toyota and GM, can basically re-trim and re-badge the same car? I get alliances like Toyota and Mazda, and they make it public, but the Geo Metro / Corolla deal and Vibe / Matrix is strange to me.
