Despite the FPV Typhoon and HSV R8’s ridiculously low official 0-100km/h times, in real life, the TRD Aurion will eat a Liberty GT, and easily keep up with the two big boys.

Honestly, this is not a track car like the Liberty GT can be and it’s not all that fun to drive enthusiastically, but as a day to day family car with heaps of grunt, it does an excellent job. Would I pick it over the Liberty GT? Probably, but that has something to do with the sound of the supercharger

drive a toyota... camry ermmm i dont think so... hehe

How loud is the supercharger whine?

I gotta say... teh sound of a supercharger whine is mmmmmmmmmmm

Oh don't just share some of the article and not others...

So this is where the TRD Aurion stands. It has the power, it has the credibility and the backing of the world’s largest manufacturer, but it still lacks something that no amount of money or marketing can buy – a soul.

small crowds gathered to check out the car at broadbeach, some even took photos. Even the Aston Martin DB9 didn’t receive this sort of attention!

Yeah... Umm.. Okay... Maybe i'm crazy but if that aurion was sitting next to a db9, i think i'd pay more attention to the db9. But thats just me.

Agreed - the DB9 is just pure sex.

That photo - that has to be a model.

Had a test drive and yes Toyota named this one right

TuRD Aurion




Buddah

LoL

It might take a Lib in a straight line but come the first corner..all over red rover!

Bob.

Those sound like fighting words to me..

Toyota over a Subaru? you've got to be joking me..

Any corner or even the slightest moisture, i'll tear that over-priced pos apart.

I owned the last real Toyota
Last ever one in Australia... I miss it sometimes.

Small crowds?
Must have been a cardigan wearer's convention on next door wanting to know if the Aurion came in beige

In a straight line maybe but most roads eventually lead to a turn,even if it was only a straight line then your best buy would be a xr6 turbo

I just like how they try to compare a 3.5L supercharged to a 2.5L turbo.. and it's not that much faster.. and it's been tuned like hell probably by TRD squeezing as much as they can..

Our MY07 - not even mentioning tuned by STI has a crap load of potential.

And the interior, omg how tacky and shocking.

TRD my arse.

I'd only let them launch first so they don't torque steer into my car! lol..

And what's the go, it's not like the Liberty GT is marketed as a performance car etc, unlike what an FPV and HSV generally would imply - powerhouse V8, and TRD sort of helps to lift that image to be a performance type of car..

Liberty GT is a luxury vehicle (a hell of a lot prettier and more luxurious than a freaking camry....) with performance..

If I wanted performance, i'd go buy a damn EVO X..

to me, the interior is the same if not similar to the sportivo version of the aurion.. another meniton to those fake exhausts.. MPS6 wannabes..lol, to find that mps link again..LOL
