I think this says it all

When you sit behind the drivers seat of a Liberty GT, HSV R8 or an FPV Typhoon, you can’t help but to feel that almost supernatural connection between you and the car, there is something magical when the car does as you ask, it’s romantic.

I have read some reviews on this car and besides what is mention in this article the biggest issue is that it is front wheel drive and all that power in a front wheel drive just does work in terms of being a performance car.

It is a Toyota that you get a jumper with rather than the normal cardigan, but pay a lot of the privilege.

Yep, the Lib GT is a package and that's why you buy it over other offerings. I drove a Mazda 6MPS and was impressed with the perfomance but the Libs interior and exterior beat it hands down and that's why I bought the Lib.

Aurion Engine and Exhaust (look carefully at the pipe and where it ends...)

It's just a normal pipe, but the rear bar has the fancy exhaust end on it and it doesn't even link up!

I would opt for these over the Toyota anyday....

The Drive section of today's copy of The Age reports that all the supercharged Aurion's are having the ECU's reprogrammed to reduce the rev limit from 6800 to 6500.
This is after one of the first 5 delivered blew up an engine being driven to the dealership by the dealer.
After matallurgy tests failed to find any evidence of foreign matter getting into the engine, Toyota concluded the failure was due to "severe over-revving"...

Uhm? I don't know how to reply to that with a serious response.. lol

I thought.. that's what a rev-limiter is for? to stop it from blowing up.. anyways..

TRIEU! did you ever post those pics up from the JDM?
