  1. You see the very similar design, is troll shape. Can Toyota get their own ideas to produce their products?
  2. I don't mind either way. Save fuel by buying a full electric car, or for a bit more performance go for a hybrid. Though there's one thing holding me back from desiring a full electic car, the inconvenience of not getting much range out of it and having to 'waste' a lot of time trying to fill it up again, certainly not justifiable when taking long trips.
  3. It can be quite confusing can't it? However, we would consider DSG the base name for that type of transmission. Not every DSG gearbox carry twin clutches, right? For instance, the Honda Accord Euro has the gearbox which can be classified as such, but from what i believe it is only single clutch.
  4. The type used on the TRD Aurion? will it fit?
  5. I somewhat prefer the look of the first set of rims. However, it does make a good resemblance of the HSV E2 Clubsport R8, though smaller in size.
  6. According to the leaked pictures to date, the car looks somewhat better styled than the current Camry. To make a comparison between that and the current Aurion just seems unnecessary, simply because i think it looks way off the 'good' looks of the current one.
  7. Le Mans Footscray is alright; they do most things as promised and on time at a satisfactory standard (thorough explaination of the task undertaken, supplied courtesy car ect...). However, they can be quite slack in some small things, not necessarily the case always though. For example, my last service there resulted in a required wheel rotation and they didn't do so because apparently the tyres still looked fine. Simply because they were kind of slack. That was the only hiccup, nothing major.
  8. 17 inches? They should fit. Are you sure you want to do so?
  9. wat?! never knew one even existed.
  10. Before you go say "Toyota says otherwise apparently", why don't you actually look at your service specification book and tell me what it says. Car companies can be quite confusing can they? The advice on the bottle probably applies for all Toyota's in general, because not every car is the same, where the manual for the Aurion says speciafically.
  11. This topic is quite intriguing to discuss. Each version has their own pros and cons. For example, the DSG changes gears quicker meaning better acceleration and better fuel economy, for the expense of an extra surcharge. And, it's only available for some models. The manual, conversely, is cheaper, often $2k cheaper than autos even, though not as quick as the DSG, but quicker and is more fuel economical than the auto. As you can see that performance-wise, the DSG wins. But since not everyone can afford a European car that's equipped with this 'option', it would be best to stick with a manual if possible. But despite saying so i do prefer the DSG.
  12. The back to me looks like a Holden cruze o_0 I was about to say Holden epica Focus sedan perhaps?!
  13. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe its the Lexus LFA correct.
  14. Shouldn't be a review. Great laugh though. Made me laugh when he introduced the Mitsubishi Nice-mo, Chevy engine, 3000hp to the front wheels-I was thinking WTF?!
  15. I can say that from the first year i had my new car insured with them that their prices aren't that competitive compared to say a big company such as RAC or AAMI. Plus, another con would be that you have to pay through credit card or any other method besides cash at the post office for example.
  16. Rodney Jane Racing aren't they? Can be confirmed by where you took the picture as well, which the wheels are exclusive to. I've seen them in Bob Jane's catalogues for some time now at a reasonable price. They do look good.
  17. LOL!I'm pretty saure she asked for advice on managing the relationship situation, not the damn car for crying out loud...
  18. Is that the same for the Presaras, DJKOR? If they are the same speakers, they sound pretty good. There's nothing better than cruisin down the street with Boney M, The Bee Gees and Barry Manilow pumpin out at full volume.... No, Presara's have a premium sound system. Not sure about the speakers but I think there's an additional subwoofer. The stock audio really does suck. Bass is uncontrolled and drowns out higher frequencies, not like the higher frequencies are very clear either... <_< I heard the premium audio system is an option which includes the moonroof and the sat nav.
  19. nice one. the original is just annoying...
  20. Oh this made me laugh hysterically! Really unwise to let a kid that young and teaching him the habit to be a hoon at such age.
