New toyota model!

Ok so have a look see at this new Toyota http://www.aurionv6.com.au/toyota/aV...ge=f1Animation
It looks like a cross between a Mazda 6 / Toyota Solara / and the new Honda Civic. Could be fun?

It replaced the Avalon in Australia. Built on the Camry platform-sharing mechanicals and a few body parts.

Like most Toyota sedans, nice, pleasant and boring.

I just noticed where Toyota designers drew their inspiration from after staring at the photo: The Hyundai Azera.

What a tragedy.

Toyota is what Cevy Impala use to be.


However I do disagree with all of you.

They make some of the most exciting comercials out there!

After watching that, you don't need anymore thrill in driving a Toyota.

The comercials are enought......... Please stop your gonna give me a heart attack.

I need to be boring, that's why owners buy a TOYOTA

The New Toyota Aurion is released here in November...
The new Camry has just gone on sale in the last few weeks...

Both Cars are made at Toyota Australia's plant in Altona, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
