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.

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Yes mine is October 2023. It arrived late February Early March to the docks in Brisbane. I have a friend who has been told that hers will be in the next shipment but is only on the production line now. So future stock should be 2024 ! ?

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Transmission U660e

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!

      How to delete bluetooth device?

      I have a Yaris and had a similar issue. I just submitted a similar query to GPT. The response was to go into settings, view paired devices, select the device to remove, and confirm the removal. It helped me; I couldn't find the answer on the internet, but I found it there.
