We have just towed a caravan with the Aurion AT-X fitted with Hayman Reese towing gear from Tweed Heads to Darwin sitting on around 100klm and the car went fantastic so anyone considering towing with this vehicle go for it. Our caravan is a 17ft 10ins Jayco weighing loaded at around 1.5 tonne.

I bought an SX6 Aurion 4 years ago, and after driving Commodores for 12 years (3 different models) I can’t say I wouldn’t go back to one.

Except for servicing it hasn’t missed a beat and I have not had it in the mechanics for any work. It has all the power and speed I need and being in the country it eats up the kilometres with little effort, and fuel. It has all the safety features and handles just fine. FWD cars today are far more advanced than a few years ago thanks to the electronic control programs. I am tall (6’5″) and can comfortably sit in the front or rear.

I agree with Blokie a wagon (all my Commodores were wagons, starting with the VN) would be good but with the trend of wagons (ie based on sedans) today going towards a smaller boot it probably wouldn’t be very practical.

The Aurion ticks all the boxes for my needs and it would take a big improvement in Holden quality and reliability for me to return.

you kidding right? she is talking about a Holden Commodore based Berlina with 225Kw 5.7L v8 ! i think it would beat a Toyota v6 !

not sure if the aurion weighs more than a commodore though … ?

looks ok.
i wouldnt mind a Wagon in one though.

the V6 is a nice motor. Rented the 4cyl camry a while back and that was pretty woeful

Your boyfriend obviously CAN NOT drive very well if your dad’s berlina with only 25kw more power beats him by 4-5 car lengths

Actually it’s great getting dropped off right out the very front of school in a Sportivo other kids envy me and I do not go to a state school either.

I AGREE, ME DADS VY SERIES I BERLINA 5.7L 225KW GENIII BEATS MY BOYFRIENDS SX6 BY 4-5 CAR LENGTHS EACH TIME WE GO FOR A SPIN DOWN NEPEAN HIGHWAY AND HE SIMPLY HAS NO CHANCE TO EVEN COME CLOSE TO US BUT ONLY KEEPS AT SPEEDS OF 60-80 AND THEN HE RUNS OUT OF PUFF IN SX6.

SX6 IS NO MATCH FOR MY DADS GENIII BERLINA

225KW/460NM UP AGAINST 200KW/336NM ESSENTIALLY A SMALLER THAN AVERAGE V6 POWERED VEHICLE THAT WEIGHS MORE AND IS FWD.

ENOUGH SAID.

Falcon BA XT on RON91
182kW at 5000rpm
380Nm at 3250rpm

Falcon BA XT on RON98
~192kW at 5000rpm
400Nm at 3250rpm

Falcon BF XT “same as above” because BA-BF base line engines are in fact identical, a different dyno was used to estimate new power/torque figures for BF when it was advertised, hence the reason of increased power/torque figures that were at 190kW/383Nm, where in fact Barra182 was making 190kW/383Nm at all times since 2002-2005.

Toyota Aurion on RON98

200kW at 6400rpm
336Nm at 4700tpm

add 182kW + 380Nm and you get 562 points in total for the BA XT 4.0L N/A

add 200kW and 336 Nm and you get 536 points for Aurion V6

so if you think a little clearer

a Falcon BA XT 4.0L wins by 26 units of “power” not as in kW or Hp, but units of engine ability to create motion, not as in Nm or lb-ft as Torque the twisting force, but a total output.

Falcon XT BA on RON98

192kW + 400 and you get 592 points in total, that is 56 in total.

FG XT Falcon 208kW on RON98 and 420Nm , thanks to new intake manifold, and new knock sensor and you get 628 points.

What on earth is wrong lol with some people not understanding this concept?
