boy oh boy.

Look at the dates lol.

Over 2 years ago.

No it is not the new sportivo is the short answer.

Pretty sure that if they were planning that for this year. It would either be released or at least being advertised getting ready to be released.

Toyota AU: Please base any not-to-distant hot Corollas on the sedan platform!!! :o

The Toyota US market at least has the 2.4L Corolla sedan, that's a start at least...

I have been keeping an eye on the Blade Master G for quite some time. A bit of old news, but some people find things out sooner than others though.

I dunno. Their AWD Matrix (based on the hatchback platform) with the 2AZ-FE seems to be more of a winner for me I reckon.

You edited your post! :P Yeah well I prefer the Matrix over the Auris too (well, I prefer baked beans to the Auris...). But I dig the XRS 2.4L sedan! :)

Yeah. I made a little boo boo. Obviously I don't really follow the Rolla that well :lol:

I would have one

I was going to convert my 2002 rolla with the avalon V6 before I woke up and realised that was too much for my feeble mind to comprehend

I would love to see a V6 AWD Rolla but it would then put the Aurion down a notch as the rolla would become the HALO car

Nothing against you, but isn't it strange to think a manufacturer's biggest car should be their hero (HALO WTF?) car. That's a bit of a Ford vs Holden way of thinking, to me at least... Just look at the WRX and Turbo Lancers, plenty of other examples too, but a small-mid sized car with a good motor and handling combination usually puts the smack down against much larger cars. Well, unless you give them double the power and endless straights or something... :rolleyes: Given this, I think the Corolla (SEDAN!) should be the platform for a pocket rocket. :D

HALO WTF?

Halo... as in the thing that goes above your head. I would guess a Halo car would be the most perfect one.

Anyways in response to you above, I would say that it wasn't a case of "a manufacturer's biggest car should be...". It's just that the new Corolla doesn't quite perform like they used to. As a result, Toyota is pushing the Aurion as their powerhouse. It just happens to work out that way.

      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
