7shades Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) I'm getting a JZX100 Mark II next month, because it suits all my requirements for a midsize RWD manual sedan, with at least 200kw, and not a falcodore. Which got me thinking... Seriously... why did Toyota AU bother creating the hopelessly unremarkable and wrong-wheel-drive TRD Aurion (or, Frankencamry as I like to call it) when things like this have been majestically tearing up the streets of Japan for years? GRX-120 = 3GR-FE Supercharger Rear Wheel f@$king Drive 56k click here and come back tomorrow I will probably upgrade to one of these in a few years as they become available for import. Toyota AU, you suck. Really. If it weren't for grey imports this bloody annoying brand loyalty I seem to have developed, I would have jumped ship years ago. Edited January 18, 2008 by 7shades Quote
YKE 20T Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 I agree totally. i don't know what the people in charge of Toyota are thinking. they could chew a massive hole out of holden and fords sales. i suspect that all the directors are Camry driving pensioners. you know the type with tissues in floral boxes on there back parcel shelf.

TRD ke70 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 I think someone at Toyota has a finger up Holden and Fords bum, If Toyota had a good RWD car they could have the whole fist up there!!! Quote
SoulSearcher Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 I don't know about the JZX100 Mark II BUT I LOVE the Mark X! :D Quote

towe001 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 I'm getting a JZX100 Mark II next month You bastard :D Toyota AU, you suck. Really. If it weren't for grey imports this bloody annoying brand loyalty I seem to have developed, I would have jumped ship years ago. I already have with the new model crap they bring out except for the older models like the corollas and taliwagons (Every Taliban and his best mate drives them - HiLux) Quote
7shades Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Posted January 18, 2008 I already have a Taliwagon :D Well, a Surf anyway. Its just a hilux with electric things and a sunroof... Quote
Medicine_Man Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 I'd have no hesitation in buying an aurion, They have proven themselves to be a fast and well balanced car. That said the one you have posted sounds awesome too. Quote
Toy-Yoda[RL] Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Dude, I must know, what is it costing you to get that thing? I could justify buying one of those to my wife: it's a toyota, so it'll be reliable, it's a 4 door, so it's sensible, it's comfortable, it's sexy, I just want one. Unless I hear more about the Lexus ISF "M3 eater".......... Lexus IS F Just epic.......... Quote

Thats pretty much the same logic I have used to justify it to my missus as well. The fact that it goes like shit off a shanghai is just a bonus... :D Not cheap though. In the trim level and auction grade I want (and I'm a picky bastard) I'm not expecting much change from 25-28k. Still much cheaper than any local equivalent that would come even close to matching it though... Quote

You go, I'll get the ISF, then we can meet at a track day and "drift barges", epic. Or just roll large in the pimpmobiles........ :D Quote
7shades Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Posted January 19, 2008 I'm ALL about pimpin. I got a rolla to go fast round corners... the JZX is purely for cruisin, reprazentin' da white middle class stylezz. :D I'd have to think hard about the IS-F.... for that kinda moolah I could slide into my dream car.... E39 BMW M5.... Quote
Jono Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 yeah, E39 M5 is all class! ITB V8 power in a nice looking bavarian. Quote
Trev Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 Why does everyone want a brand new toyota RWD car these days? (don't delete this one) Quote
