  1. CES headers are basically change over stock sportivo unit, port and polished with HPC as an option. HASN'T THIS BEEN COVERED BEFORE?
  2. you are correct! You reckon? Owning two pre-facelift and one post-facelift stivo’s (have one of each at the moment), I think not. Same issues exist, no matter pre or post. Regardless; for the money, you can’t go wrong with stivo, that is why I am hangin’ on to mine. Brand new under $30k is unheard of these days for a vehicle with such good performance, features and economy.
  3. Was working at Toyota HQ today. The Blade will be released in Australia in 2008. No other information is available apart that the engine will be a V6.
  4. The Australian - Toyota Corolla - WebSite.
  5. -Deleted- Any more of these kind of comments a ban will be comming your way (IZZ-FE)
  6. Maybe you should call Ferrari, Porsche, Merc (AMG), BMW (M series), Zonda, Lambo and so forth and let them know that they got it wrong? Yes it does have 6 airbags, both SS and SS-V check the Holden website, I beleive. Also the SSV has more than just leather and air bags from the SS, do you research dude! Your arguements also apply to Toyota as well as Mitshubishi, Ford and Holden. The TRD Aurion will not only be "$5k extra". If you believe that, no comment. Extensive work? What? Bigger wheels and a blower, sounds like a XR6T job to me. The Ford and Holden do have different interiors, why are you so blind and biased, again do you research. Some people may say that the TRD Aurion is a streched 6 cyl Camry with a body kit and blower, a perfect appliance for torque steering! You can buy one form MYER or Harvey Norman! The TRD Aurion isn't a winner. Once released and matched up, only then we can make assumptions.
  7. It depends on what you value... the TRD Aurion has a better interior then an SS by a long shot (SS has cloth seats std), it will be nearly as powerful, it will handle well (a number of handling upgrades done), no doubt be reliable (defintely more reliable then the SSs unsophisiticated pushrod engine), possibly return better fuel efficiency, more safety features (I believe SS only has 4 airbags standard, the base Aurion has 6 standard!), more differentiated from other models etc. Then you go for the SS-V, and yes the Holden has Side, Curtain and Front airbags = 6. Quote from website Carpoint WriteUp on Aurion Sportivo Quote 1: - "Disregard the sports label, the ZR6 is more about extra 'flash' than 'dash'" Quote 2: - "But where does that leave the Sportivo ZR6? We would swap the extra plastic body bits, faux grille mesh and low-speed engine nobbling for a rear or all-wheel-drive chassis any day."
  8. Whats your source for the pricing? TMCA Website lists the ZR6 at $42500 RRP + ORC. TMCA I have a friend I work with that just bought his ZR6 with Sat Nav and Moonroofe and got SFA change from %48k on the road....so I struggle to see how TRD version will be rolling around $45k country. Commodore SV8 ($45,000)???? WTF, that car does not exist anymore dude. HSV's $70k? Na try $63K. All following pricing as at 26.03.2007 Ford Falcon BFII XR6 $39,710 (NA 190KW, 383NM) http://www.carpoint.com.au/new-car/FORD/FA...09:46:22.117491 Ford Falcon BFII XR6T $43,990 (Turbo 245KW, 480NM) http://www.carpoint.com.au/new-car/FORD/FA...09:49:32.117500 Ford Falcon BFII XR8 $44,990 (V8 260KW, 500NM) http://www.carpoint.com.au/new-car/FORD/FA...09:50:49.117506 Holden Commodore SV6 $39,990 (NA 190KW, 340NM) http://www.carpoint.com.au/new-car/HOLDEN/...08:22:51.237915 Holden Commodore SS $44,990 (V8 270KW, 530NM) http://www.carpoint.com.au/new-car/HOLDEN/...08:24:17.237925 Holden Commodore SS-V $52,490 (V8 270KW, 530NM) http://www.carpoint.com.au/new-car/HOLDEN/...08:26:31.254100 Toyota Aurion SX6 $38,500 (NA 200KW, 336NM) http://www.carpoint.com.au/new-car/TOYOTA/...16:30:49.761207 Toyota Aurion ZR6 $42,500 (NA 200KW, 336NM) http://www.carpoint.com.au/new-car/TOYOTA/...16:30:49.761207 HSV Clubsport R8 $62,890 (V8 307KW, 550NM) http://www.carpoint.com.au/new-car/HSV/Clu...09:19:38.295040 FPV GT $62,210 (V8 290KW, 520NM) http://www.carpoint.com.au/new-car/FPV/GT/...12:16:54.197853 FPV Typhoon $61,180 (Turbo 270KW, 550NM) http://www.carpoint.com.au/new-car/FPV/F6%20TYPHOON/car.aspx?id=cp20061110.12:21:53.197865 Get your myths right dude, you have p1ssed off some seasoned members who are not comming back. In short, if the Aurion TRD is priced $44k Plus, only die-hard Toyota Fans will buy it. For $45, my money goes to the SS.
