Poison – not only are sales of the Commodore and Falcon, but that of Holden and Ford in general are running at their lowest ever so how exactly has / is thier involvement in Australian motorsport helping the them today …. mmm !!

Help me help you a bit … mmmmmmmm jake sh*t !!

As for the Camry chassis – happens to be the same chassis (albiet modified) that the winning NASCAR Camry’s utilses. That’s right, Toyota’s competing NASCARs are based on a
1987 USDM Toyota Camry Chassis … 1987!! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !!

And sense they are currently leading the title … who exactly is ‘less sorted’ !!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

La la land? That old chestnut? Purrlease!
TP; How can you say that the FG XR6 Turbo doesnt perform without fail? It’s barely been out on the market yet.
Ford has proven themselves reliably- your taxi point is BS,TP because several AU’s have clocked over 1 000 000 kms on their first motor; to suggest they get no downtime is acenine.
Holden and Ford have gained alot from motorsport; most of their past legends GTHO, Group A, XU-1 etc are all products of motorsport. Clearly demonstrating you are well out of your depth. So what does even the TRD range have to do with motorsport? An aftermarket blower? Even if that was the case, it would be less excusable for the TRD Aurion to have a less well sorted chasis than the competition.
No Name replied but doesnt mean he read what you wrote- is this your sole raison d’etre Dingo?
Pretty pathetic and futile existence if thats the case.
I wonder which of your limited comebacks you’ll have for that. Yawn.

Poison … you must have purchased a one way ticket to la, la, land.

I guess it is better for you to float with the fairies and forget about the bad people on earth.

When the Commodore eventually folds production due to declining popularity, apparently Holden will produce a race version of the Viva.

Just read that Holden and Ford will continue to refuse any other entrant because they fear revisiting the days when thier aspirations were squashed by Nissan.

Tears just flowed and flowed and flowed until the Government of the time declared a national flood.

Peterd – here is some education for you … Team Toyota Europe (TTE) which was Toyota’s WRC arm was folded to in preferance establish thier F1 team.

Worth noting that when Toyota abandoned WRC they were the infact the reigning champions and had been for 3 consecative years prior.

I’m sure you recall the Castrol Celica GT-4’s !!

Sorry Realcars 200,000kms and running as new.

Poison you can continue talking drivel, Im a car enthusiast…. I like DECENT cars. Ford and Holden dont produce these kind of vehicles. One thing having great performance like the XR6T… its another delivering that performance without fail!!!

Millatime – i have just taken the time to refresh myself on F1 budget (Wikipedia amoung other sources) and discovered that Ferrari and Toyota have infact fluctuated between them as the biggest budget teams sense Toyota’s involvement. That said – i agree that Toyota has alot of work to do to improve thier performance and have been waiting along time myself.

As for NASCAR – ho hum … you have got to be kidding me !!

Apart from being the most competitive motorsport event in the world’s largest and most lucarative automotive market of all – USA – i have just discovered during my research that NASCAR is now approaching the budget of F1 making it the second highest budget motor racing event in the world. Unlike V8 Supercars – actually has more then 2 choices of manufactuers.

Gee .. i wonder who is gonna win this year – Holden or Ford !! yeah – real competitive that is … NOT !!

As for the Land Rover being the choice for passionate off-roaders … what crap !!

Toyota’s diverse range of 4×4’s particularly the Landcruiser has been the predominate choice for heavy off-raod enthusiasts for many years and remains no different today and most certainly not Land Rover … all due respects to Nissan.

If you cannot acknolwdge that then you really are in need of help … PERIOD !!

Oh yeah … as for luxury – BMW, Mercedez Benz, Audi and Lexus are all the preferred choices for passionate enthusiasts of luxury/prestiage motoring.

Worth mentioning that Lexus is now one of the most renouned and respected automotive brands that can be found anywhere in the world today …. am i wrong – NO !!

What has Ford got – virtually nothing

* Aston Martin – GONE !!

* Jaguar – GONE !!

As for Lincoln and Mercury … what eva. Infact, Ford recently passed statement that it will be considering the wether Mercury will be retained or not.

Gee… market stance is not looking good for Ford … IS IT !!

As for Kia lapping the IS-F … as far as my knolwedge extends, the IS-F has yet to compete in any race at Nurburgring except on numerous occassions for lap times and ongoing development.

So guess what – i now only expect you to provide a source / referance for your statement … naturally, and if you don’t – you a proven liar !!

Oh yeah … the IS-F and all other ‘F’ series coming from Lexus are RWD so add that tou your list.

Again – what is Ford’s answer to the IS-F … let me help you a bit – NOTHING !!

Even looking at that Camry-it has this almost sickening clincal blandness to it; eerily designed to not appeal on any level to those who have a pulse. Even though the TRD Aurion is kind of a spunky car, it has a terrible case of Toyitis- the same affliction that keeps people like Motorsport ~,TP on a continual, vacuous loop.
Evidence of this zombie-like zeal comes in the form of that motorsport guy spuriking just how mediocre Toyota’s performance in motorsport is- but then that’s the crux of Tojo isn’t it; Mediocrity.
You aren’t real petrol heads ( Camry/Corolla are devoid of any character) and hence the rift between you and the rest of us petrol heads. Hence why every day topics are reduced to the same object, with absurd statistics that don’t resonate with people who care more about cars than numbers.I guess you guys are more like bean counters- theres nothing wrong with that, just intellectually bankrupt examples of thus.
BTW; Its not just the Tojo gang that emit idiot rays either.
