Well Id go the Aurion. With your choices, I agree the SS is nice.... but 20L per 100km, that is going to cost you a FORTUNE to run. The falcon, just because taxi's use them doesnt mean anything, Camrys of the past have a proven track record for lasting in excess of 300,000kms when properly maintained, but werent used for taxi's. While the similar year Falcons etc didnt last that long - they use the Falcon then sell them before any major problems show up, consumers dont have this luxury for the most part. The Aurion has refinement, more power then you practically need, the best fuel consumption in its class (I dont want LPG = Slower car) and if previous Toyotas are anything to go by, will be a dependable car. Just my opinion. EDIT: And as for the fuel consumption figures, Ive read other reviews which say the Aurion does get under 10L... its not suprising Wheels would discredit the Aurion, its more then obvious the affliliation they have with Holden. The 250 based block has always been a winner when it comes to durability in Falcons. They are exceptional when it comes to durability (rest of the car aside lol). It is also important to note that the cold is the main killer of motors. Taxis are running nearly constantly all day etc etc, 800,000km's later they are still fine (these are falcons based in the Canberra Cab Company, my mate is a bus. analyst for them). I try and not turn off my car unless I absolutley have to most of the time. It is definently no suprise with Wheels and their opinion of the Aurion. Toyota didn't empty copious amounts of funding into their little piggy pank.
