Look at the 3rd pic, “regenerate your thinking”. Yes they do need to regenerate their thinking, by doing something about unsafe overpowerd FWDs.

….oh yeah Clarkson and his trusty sidekick where in a massive Toyota Hilux. Top colour, wicked flares; and gee didnt he abuse the absolute crap out of it as was clearly evident. Some minor hickups with suspension but it was clear to see how that happened. The most barren harshest place on earth conquered first time with massive amounts of luck and a car that is built to take it! TOP SHOW THAT WAS! CONGRATS TOYOTA!

GEE COOL!

If it is a poor man’s Lexus…dam the quality is high! Must be fairly accurate as more written of them positive then negative. Finally the Celica is coming back in 2009, and yes I like its raw edgy look. Why……….well Toyota take the envelope on that model and set the pace and not just design same as opposition! WOULD NOT IT BE SO BORING IF ALL CARS LOOKED SORT OF SIMILAR! On that note, any car maker who does that deserves comment positive! MAZDA, HYUNDAI ARE TWO I SPEAK OF.

And by the way loved the Topgear trek on the North Pole, dam bulletproof 4WD and loved the look of it heaps! What did Jeremy Clarkson utter at end of show?????????

lol at the “toyota is a poor man’s lexus” comment.

but just a tid bit on Shane’s post.

Care to elaborate on how you were able to “drive the crap out of the Aurion” and managed to compare it “directly” mind you to an SV6?

and still manage to claim that SV6 craps on it?

Our evaluation group drove them and tested both and they didnt notice anything significant enough… mind you they factor in, that one is FWD the other is RWD… for them to claim one “craps” on another… that wording just doesnt hold itself in engineering/evaluation.

built wise… SV6 has some good bits but as all cars have bad bits too. In the end, both cars are good for their purpose, again the buyer will choose which ever suits his/her needs more…. the RWD obviously biased towards RWD-fans.. obviously.

And for the price, TRD Aurion, Ford XR6 Turbo…. and Subaru Liberty Spec B GT… I’d get the Liberty to be honest. Aurion is nice, so is the XR6.. but Liberty is very under rated I think.

The fact that Toyota owns Lexus ensures that Andrew M!! And technically, Lexus is a rich man’s Toyota, not the other way around…

TP,
just face it Toyota is just the poor mans version of a Lexus.
they take all the good bits out. in most cases the sheet metal is exactlly the same

“Andrew.M… its all Toyota… its all better then whatever Ford can offer”

^^^^ whats that mean? does that mean you love yourself? thats how i translate it
