yes TP but its designed to stop the car from getting in the situation in the first place, yes if you go full lock at 100kmh your goin to roll but on a test track, they would have been pushing it but nothing so extreme to purposely roll the kluger, its a design flaw that toyota must correct, all manufacturers hav there little hiccups, its jus when toyota hiccuped it vomited a little bit

Bogan? I think not. Im not the one who sits in front of a computer day in day out (poorly) attacking people that have an opinion about Toyota.
Theres no point quoting credible sources to you because you’ll just misinterpret them . The above comment is a prime example.
Where did I say ESP gives SUV’s rally car handling? THE OTHER CARS IN THE FIELD DID FINE THE KLUGER FAILED.
I bet you cried when you saw it on its side.
And you call me an idiot, dipshit.
You must be inbred or something, you definately err more on the side of ‘bogan’ than me.I’ll just let you get back to doing what you love most, you heroic warrior .
God I cant wait for the FG to come out you’ll be in damage control mode then.

Sounds like I hit a nerve aye Poison. You’re an idiot, anyone with half a brain realises that ESP isn’t designed to give a inheritantly unabalanced SUV rally car handling. You don’t expect it to pull you out of the shyte when you do 100km/h on a gravel road around a bend. This isn’t just my opinion, the following issue of Wheels had feedback, apart form bogans like yourself who supported Wheels one inidividual actually showed some logic and supported exactly what Im saying. Wheels themselves have mentioned how ESP isn’t something that should be thought as pulling people out of every situation, yet their own test is looking just at that, trying to give a SUV rally car handling. What I think people here fail to realise as well, common sense again, is the reason why a vehicle would flip in a situation like that is due to a tyre digging into the loose gravel and then resulting in the vehicle to roll. No ESP is designed to or can prevent this from happening. Common sense when driving prevents it.

ok back on topic,
where ever it gets designed, lets all just hope we dont get the new platform mated with skinny tyres

Going back to the article and not this continual ranting about whether Toyotas are worthy vehicles or not, the article questions the future vaibility of the NEXT rear wheel drive platform and not the current (soon to be launched) falcon platform as being R&D’d in Australia. Presumably Ford will, due to fiancial pressures, R&D the next Falcon platform in the USA and not Australia. Then Australia will be using an American base for the next Falcon, possibly due in 7 or 8 years. Cooment?

Can we please keep on topic. I for one am hacked off with frankly boring battling that has no relevance for the topic. Like I stated Dingo and TP are repetative beyond all doubt. If they want to live their communist dreams then let them believe in themselves. It make no odds to me.

A bit of latitude required, Rick. Every maker does this. They’d be fools not to.

If the Aurion is so good why have Toyota just stuk put a heap of extra crap in it with the FG on the horizon? mmmmmmm reeks of panic to me………trying to match a car with real engineering substance with alot of cheap overpriced jewelery to hide the Aurions shortcomings compared to FG. Holden have done the same thing……A\C standard on Commodores !!!! BIG DEAL!!!!! Its been standard on Falcons for years !!
