Yup as cool as it would be to have it AWD, it's never gunna happen. Since TRD didn't do it, Toyota itself will be very unlikely to do so.

I’m told that Toyota really wanted to go for the Prestige end of the market with the Middle Eastern Camry which of course will be our new Aurion so there’s lots of bling and chrome to give the car the VIP look. However there still is a Sportivo model or whatever it will be called (possible just SX and ZR)and apparently its a feral in your face looking thing which looks like it has 400hp at the wheels BUT really needs the larger accessory wheel to finish off the tough look. So there is still hope for a pretty special machine :)

This description is spot on. I've seen the prototype in the flesh and it feral is exactly how I described it. I hope they can the prototype.

lol i found out and seen even more yesterday. The images of the Presara we have seen are near as make no difference spot on. Lots of chrome just like the middle eastern and Indonesian markets like as you have to remember this is there "Camry" so a lot of Aurion's design and features and how they like a car to drive are with them in mind this time around.. (Maybe think along the lines of Crown as opposed to G6E or Calais V) However obviously the cars are all retuned for how Australians Tastes and our love for handling and dynamics. Then there is the new Sportivo...... which is well ummm.. Yeah you wouldn’t call it ermm boring? I'd love to go into it further but all this information really is shared with us in confidence but i will say that the information and images that people have posted on here from various links are all heading in the right direction.

I don't think I'd be buying another Aurion again unless they put in a new engine that actually is worth talking about... unlike the Camry. Since they want to stick with the 2GR I'd imagine, looks like this may be my last Aurion.... hopefully not Toyota too.

I certainly won't be buying another Aurion - They're a nice package, but very limited in what you can do with them and the aftermarket has only provided a token effort in available mods.

I do like the 2GR generally, but I'm disappointed in Toyota not giving the Aurion the same output as the IS350 - that would really give it an edge over the local stock 6 bangers.

The vehicle in the images here will be our "Presara" and unlike the 40 series which was totally designed for the Australian market and created as a "sports sedan" the new 50 series is made with the middle eastern customer in mind and what suits them which is more bling and VIP look rather than "aggressive looking muscular" sporty sedan. From what I’ve heard read and seen i think many current gen Aurion owners particular Sportivo and TRD owners will feel slightly ripped off with the new vehicle. However Presara owners will love the new car. Without anybody taking the ***** i think if i was to replace mine with another Toyota saloon car it may just be the new HSD Camry. Kind of makes the 86 look like the goer for the next bus hmm or a Hilux SR5? We will just have to wait and see if they totally transform the Sportivo model into a package that can back up the way it looks. If so then it will be model that is completely the reverse of its sibling variants. Watch this space!

Yep, they're out. Couple of dealers in Perth already have demonstrators available for test drives and such.

Is the market for upgrades and after market parts generally driven by consumer demand?

I know when i brought my Aurion it was because i was trying toget away from the old me and grow up :)

Little did it work, from the reaction of cars that pull up along side me now and the looks i get from the younger gen.

Thank god it all just peels off and im back to Dad in his aurion!

I dont like the shape, and agree with the comments about honda rippoff.

What i was flawed to see, was they kept the old Boat shaped windows! i thought for sure they would have hooked the rear quarter panel/window like the Lexus! much sexier look.

Is this just a new shell on the old chassis? I think it is... few more extra welds so we are told.

The one thing i liked the most about the Camry when it came out is there was NOTHING that looked like it.

Hmm... Looks like I'll need to drive out and have a look.

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
