[u54mot]

An article from Carsguide about the Toyota Aurion......

in summary.....all Aurion's including the TRD Supercharged Aurion will come only with a 6 speed auto transmission, and some information about exports of the Aurion to the Middle East.

Here are some more pictures of the Chinese Camry:

All Aurion's will have LED tail lights......it's the Camry that will have normal halogen bulbs(and in the US the hybrid camry will have LED tail lights)....

I believe both cars will both have foot operated hand brakes......

What a narrow minded idea Toyota had there

I would be interested to know why they wouldn't have released a manual version for their so called "performance range" vehicle.

Maybe Toyota figured the car would have more control that way ... and remember, the Avalon was auto only, also.

Anyway, it will probably feature some sort of manual function ... I know that's not the same as a clutch and stick, but given that most HSV's and FPV's go with autos, maybe Toyota are on the money.

Personally, I do believe there should be a manual Aurion, probably the base model and the performance models should have the option. But as to this transmission, why is there two overdrive gears? maybe instead they should just have the one overdrive gear and have another gear in the lower range to help even out the shifting a bit.

whats with the footbrake thing anyway?

Ive driven an avalon and I find that option rather annoying.
