Are you positive its Aurion?

Toyota are probably in the strongest position theyve ever been with fuel prices the way they are. If they release the new car with the 3.5L and maybe an existing 3L/3.3L then they have a position to gain sales from the fuel conscious.

Are you positive its Aurion?

looks good i think

OMG thats the best looking toyota EVER! the sportivo is actually AGGRESSIVE!

"3.5L V6 producing in excess of 190kw in standard form with a supercharged engine planned for the sports model with an undisclosed power figure..."

*drools*

please tell me its RWD OH PLEASE!!!

[motorsportnerd]

It won't be RWD, seeing as the base model is FWD. Perhaps an AWD version? No hints or anything, so lets see.
Aurion looks good in Sportivo guise. I saw a picture of the base model in today's Daily Telegraph and wasn't impressed with the grille though - too American, too much like a 300C.
Overall, this car looks very promising. And prices will apparantly start in the low $30K range - which will probably blow the Mits 380 out of the water.

AWD would pwn.

poor mitsu (literally)

[SlickHolden]

First look i could see Holden and Ford on it and some left over Camry. But nice colour and it's nice they just need some real wheels for there cars slap on some nice 18" rims and that would rule.

Is that the new Camry or the Avalon?
Supercharged They are looking to get into the Ring with FordsT .

[charged]

In the press release they say its FWD, hopefully a AWD and either turbo or supercharged donk would stir up the xr and ss boys. Dont mind the styling, very inoffensive (bland) but that Toyota in a nutshell. Its much better looking than the Avalon it replaces.

[SlickHolden]

Is this a new model cause its still camry like AU in BA there, Or is that what they wanted?

feck me, im impressed! a supercharged 6? im sure they wont balls up like Holdens pathetic attempt with the supercharged S. Interesting indeed, im a fan of the design, big rims, bigger exhaust and damn, you've actually got a nice looking car. Whatch out Holden, im thinking this mite be the car to kill the commodore, perhaps not in sales, but with the actual quality and overall rating. Poot Mitsu, 380 looks shite compared to this really :|

[SlickHolden]

Hey that Supercharged V6 was all go, And with 1 little upgrade it was 600Nm+.
I got a Vid of one doing a 0-100 in under 7 seconds and it was very refined sounding to i was impressed, Holden just never unleashed it's true potential, It could have gave a XR6T a real scare, There are guys out there that own them and say they have the best sleepers, One guy done a 13.5sec 1/4 with a pulley change
Anyway check it out i loaded it up

I think you got it wrong mate the Toyota will never out sell Commodore, It's the Falcon that it could ruffle up a little. But if it had RWD they both would be right in it's sights.
