Ok guys who left GMH to work at Toyota ? Own up come on now !! There is a new V6 called a AURION V6. Here's the link http://www.aurionv6.com.au/toyota/aV6/index.jspThis thing looks like a Commodore to me. Mirrors, front, shape, size. Wait till they bring out a coupe. So now we cant tell the diff between a Ford Holden or Toyota! Sh*t what a country. And its in a Holden colour too !! SH*T !!!! I think GMH should sue the *ss of Toyota for copyright. Cheers, grumbly John

Is it based on the upcomming new C'dore body ? The 190KW alloy V6 sounds familar. Loved the F1 references. Hopefully they will coin a new slogan "Oh what a feeling" goes back to RWD Corollas. And can anyone confirm that the car will come only in beige or

Toyotas slow ? I never thought a 253-tri-278 diff combo was particularly quick either, but I wonder sometimes why everyone is so far back !

Guys you should know by now that the japanese are the ultimate copy-cats (but imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?;). They're just trying to keep up with the new mitsu 380 and replace the cardigan Camry + dead loss Avalon at the same time.

Toyota is generally a more conservative car, so therefore attracts more conservative drivers. |

Ha, see the comment on that page?
"Get ready for the biggest change in the Australian automotive landscape for over 25 years"
How is making another car that looks like every other new car a revolutionary change?

I agree, The resemblance to the Holden is small. If only the Nose/ Grill. But as a BA........ GOD YES! (cant say the same for the donk.... Its a Toyota, so the need to search for it become quickly lost. lol) The Japs have been copying for ever! The Dig Edited by user Monday, 6 March 2006 10:44:23 PM(UTC)

Well the doors on it look like they were lifted straight from the current Camry. I too wonder if it's going to be a real rwd car I would guess not.
Yes the early 90's Toymota Lexcen looked like a Commodore because it was just a badge engineered Commodo |

GM-H and Toyota go back a long way, they put the star fire 4 in the corolla in the late 70s early 80s, then we had the appolla and nova. My neighbour has a coralla with VN Commodore mirrors. Nothing new.
Mind you I still think the best Toyota of all ti

It might be worth mentioning also that the 100,000th VN as seen in holden books with fanfare was actually a Lexen , it was taken off the line and replaced with a Calias , I know this as I was working on that very line that day.
