Don't know the timeline but talks within Toyota seem to be TRD version of the new corolla just like they did the Aurion and Hilux.

6months at least up till anywhere between 1 yr or 18months. Who knows hehe

TRD have already said no to a TRD Corolla version.

The only sporty corolla we will get is the Levin.. wooo.

Corolla is already the YTD best seller in Australia so far. So as far as Toyota is concerned, they don't have to do anything to 'Spice up' the range to make it more attractive. Corolla sells well here solely based on reputation, they don't need a hero car or Sports range to make it more appealing.

Aurion on the other hand needed a helping hand to boost it's image in a market swamped by Falcodore buyers.

TRD Hilux was to cash in on the growing number of people wanting a performance suv if there is such a thing.

Next model - I'm betting on a TRD Yaris.

There was a TTE Yaris sitting in the Company Fleet garage here in Port Melbourne. Not much of a change though.. It had 16" 10 spoke alloys, Chrome exhaust tip, the tail lights were rounder and it sported a TTE grill.

Didn't it also have the Corolla 1.8? About 97kw?

It might have, I don't know though as I didn't get to see under the hood.

LOL nice one Angelo!!!

Also, if the NEW Corolla Sportivo came out with a 2.4 Camry engine, I'm quite certain the owners would be pretty p!ssed off when a 2003-2005 Sportivo toasted their ***** by 3 seconds at the strip :lol:

well i work at toyota altona and my cousin works for the technical centre in notting hill and he and people from work that work around the TRD area have told me that there 100% not making anymore TRD vechiles for a while because of the recent sales in the TRD range (not doing so well), if they do decide to do a TRD corolla then they will most likely only be upgrading the v6 corolla with a few TRD mods anyhow thats the news ive heard and pretty sure its acurate.

ps. thats right micky the japs have nothing to do with it its TMCA (toyota motor coperation australia) all aus!!!

The TRD Aurion is the only car in the TRD range that deserves to have that brand stuck on it. The Hilux is just stupid, and the idea of a TRD Rav4 is even more stupid. 'Toyota Racing Development'. Yeah, I'm going to go race in my Rav4 at the SandDune 1000, and even then it'll just moonwalk and not go anywhere. There's nothing wrong with the Rav4 or the Hilux at all, but they aren't sports material.

The sooner Toyota Australia stops masturbating in Holden's toilet the better.

They need that rumored 'New Celica / Toyotaru' with it's 4wd 2.5L turbo boxer powerplant. Having a 2wd and 4wd version of those and sticking to the Aurion seems to be the smart thing to do, as they would probably sell a freaking car under the TRD brand then. However Toyota Australia won't want a bar of it, 'IF' it is created. They don't seem give a sh!t about the performance market anymore. They just don't listen to actual car enthusiasts, and as such, their marketing division must be made up of Nelsons who's weekly goal is try and beat the other in roots.

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
