Ronnyboy,the new model of the Aurion just came out on September last year and a new model is unlikely to be released for the next 2 years.

That was a facelift, not a new model. They made minor adjustments to the rear lights on some specs and increased the list of standard features but no change to engine/drivetrain/interior (apart from updated centre console).

Having said that, I don't think they will release a totally new model so soon after the facelift, so 2012 is a likely estimate.

The original poster could buy a Falcon instead and then get hammered even more in depreciation and regularly have to go back to the dealer on a regular basis to fix all manner of electrical and mechanical problems.

All i can say is the Aurion and Camry are two different cars made for 2 different tastes..i would prefer either any day..love the new Camry since im already into them but if i want to continue driving a V6, would only go for an Aurion not any other..and both cars have street cred depending on the owner ;)..people just underestimate the Camry way to much..so thats why i just give them the occasional preview on the streets so they remember a Camry is not just an appliance - an aggressive machine when required :)

just thought I'd chime in on this comment:

the Camry has zero street cred, regardless of who owns it. The Camry has plenty of cred it the reliability and the 'get you from a to b' areas.

People who know you and what you have done to your Camry may view you differently, but I assure you that it has zero street cred.

i can see your point here..but still i find the gen 4s with a little bit of custom visual mods stands out..ofcourse its no skyline when it comes to street cred..and i really dont bother what people have to say because if the car i drive makes me smile thats all i want end of the day :)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with modding your camry at all, I am a firm believer in this (look at mine!). While you and your friends know what has been done and what it is capable of (regardless of what you have done to it); it will never have cred in the street scene.

I don't give a Shiite what people think about me doing up my Camry, but I am not fooling anyone if I were to say it has street cred. You do your mods for yourself, not the approval of some narrow-minded ****ers.

Even TonyTheTiger's Camry (540hp ATW, fully worked engine, twin-charged) doesn't have any cred outside the town he lives at. He has cred in town because he is well known, but outside it is just another camry... Which happens to be very fast.

I think you are confusing yourself as it seems you aren't quite sure what street cred is.

I wouldn't worry Andrew. You can't change a persons opinion. I agree with you that the Camry will never have street cred... only just a niche thing.

Even the Aurion doesn't have street cred. It's still whitegoods on wheels.

All this street cred talk makes me want to facepalm myself. What are we... high schoolers?

ya i know what you mean Andrew..i was just trying to say we all are happy with what we do to our cars end of the day..and yes dont have to bother much about what others have to say..and i absolutely agree Camry has never had street cred among anyone..and it doesnt bother us too because we arent competing for the street cred :)

I agree with the camry having no street cred but someone did bring up a valid point; A person who decides to do up a camry is remembered whether for goood or for bad but either way, they are remembered.

I remember when i 1st picked up my camry and my mates were like wtf, why you doing up a camry? I had a choice between a euro or the camry. I obviously picked the camry for this soul reason - i wanted to be different. As the mods came by, my mates slowly saw what i was creating and have never looked at a stock camry the same since. From attending various meets, i get more attention than some very common cars that are there. People just stare and talk whether it be good or for bad and when i come across them same people months later, they remember my car. because its not like every car out there. A modified camry = unique. And being unique gets you hate or love, but also gets you remembered.

I dont mind however, i love my camry. its perfect for me as a P plater. Not powerful enough (or at all) to get me killed, very good on fuel, very reliable, looks amazing IMO, can carry a car full of people comfortably, and is not really a popo magnet.

Next May I get to upgrade my car and am thinking of going from the current Camry Ateva (with leather) to an Aurion Prodigy. However, "Wheels" and other respeceted car magazines say the Aurion is bland, suffers from torque steer and has poor resale expectations. As it is a business car the last complaint does not bother me, but is an Aurion really as bad as these reviews make it out to be? I can't imagine an Audi A4 or Falcon G6 is really any more "exciting".

Of course the magazines will always overinflate Holdens and Fords.They have been doing this for years and people take their opinions as the gospel.Heck i can remember when the VN Commodore first came out and all they did was rant about how incredible a car that was - And we all know how rough as guts a car that was. Come to think of it most of their " Car of the year " turn out to be the actual biggest lemon ever made. Early Magna, Leyland P76 come to mind

Do you have cookies? :o

Sure do. All sizes, shapes and flavours. :P

So long as they are soft and chewy, and taste like Mrs. Fields or Titan Protein Cookies... then I'll join.

      Took the dust cover off, heart skipped a beat

      Not sure how many of the old guard are still around… fluids drained, fuel tank cleaned and lines purged, might be time to throw it into gear again.

      Need Advice please

      Suggest that you look at an online catalogue for struts/shock absorbers specifically for the Year and Model specification for your Camry. Easiest way to clean fuel injectors is to use a fuel additive together with decent quality fuel.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      For starters, you are referring to the BRAKE calipers. Missing bolts is highly probable that whoever last worked on the braking system did not properly tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification. Presumably, the brake pads were replaced approximately 6 months ago.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      Hi All, I have sent my car to a local mechanism shop as I heard a big scary clunk noise from the front left wheel part recently. And a huge surprise came back to me is, they told me that my break calipers has two bolts missing. I don’t think it is a common problem caused by daily routine driving. So really need to find out what was happened to that 2 bolts?! How lucky I was for driving nearly half a year without a tight break!! I even have kids on my car… can’t think more now. It’s terrifying 😱

      Engine Immobiliser

      Hi Chris, I would suggest getting a code scan as well mate as it could be something locking out the security starting process, and it may make tracking it down faster for you maybe worth the fee for a mobile mechanic who can do that for you as I doubt it will be a fuse or relay causing it sounds,like something in the security side of the process. I am sure if any others have ideas they will post it, these are just guesses on my part so I hope you get it sorted fast mate KAA

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov
