May 26, 2009 by George Skentzos
Toyota has released a new special-edition model into the Aurion range to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary in Australia.
The Aurion Touring Special Edition carries the same price tag as the entry-level Aurion AT-X sedan yet offers more than $2700 worth of additional standard equipment.
Matching the specifications of the AT-X, the Touring Special Edition adds 17-inch alloys wheels with a full-size spare, rear spoiler, a Sportivo radiator grille, sports headlamps, sports rear combination lamps, “50th Anniversary” decals and sports pedals.
Toyota has also included front foglamps as well as front and rear sonar parking sensors as standard features on the Aurion Touring SE.
Inside, the new models gains a six-disc CD changer, dual-zone climate-control for the air-conditioning, leather-bound four-spoke steering wheel, leather gear lever knob and a multi-information display.
The usual list of standard safety features have been maintained, including six airbags, vehicle stability control, traction control, anti-skid brakes and an adaptive six-speed automatic sequential-style gearbox.
The Aurion Touring Special Edition is available now from Toyota with a retail price of $34,990.

Wheelnut – I was talking about Australia market.
Honda has Civic and Insight hybrids. Toyota has Prius hybrid and soon Camry hybrid Oz built. And they’re all in production for Australia.
And what do Holden/Ford offer?
Well I gotta give credit to Calais adopting AFM system and Ford start implement V8 in 4cyl machine. Good effort – although they should adopting hybrid/electric to survive in car industry. Volt is a good start for GM but I heard Obama has cut the budget for it?

Anyone with any knowledge knows that your sprouting rubbish. I don’t need to correct all of your factual errors.
Multiple names to support your own areguments are pathetic BTW.
Off topic abuse should be reported and deleted.
Some of you guys are real kids. The article is about a car that have value added features in a limited release.
If you think the car is boring move one and build a bridge. Can’t wait for a Falcon S Pack or Commodore Lumina post!
DesignEngr – Your big mouth with no brains not sure if you have already gone f yourself and eat your own sh$t. If not they you should do it now!
Tiesto, the reason I had to wait so long to trade out of the Aurion was because it would have cost me too much money to break a lease.
Lukass, if you do in fact work for Toyota as you say you do, then you will know that ALL Toyotas in the south East of Melbourne go to one Toyota service centre for Auto trans work. It is the ONLY dealership authorised to carry out Toyota auto trans work.
As to all the other problems I experianced, well they are NOT one off’s with Aurions. The so called anti rattle kit (basically bits of foam and a few new clips) did NOT fix all of the rattles and squeaks in the car. This so called kit was not even available when I purchased my car. To add insult to injury, the dealership damaged the A pilar on one of the many dash out days, then tried to deny it. It was eventualy replaced. Any way. Thankfully the car is long gone and I no longer care. The only good thing to come out of it is driving my VE Sportswagon continues to be a joy.
I like Aurions.
I hate Aurions.
