I got the same thing as well in Auckland. Inferno ZR6. What a wonderful car to look at and drive. I have had it for 5 weeks and it has done 2000ks. Everytime I am at in a servo, other guys come up to the car and look at it and admire it. And when they see the Toyota badge and I tell them it is a 3.5l V6 faster than a Holden, they have a surprised look and say "Does Toyota make cars like this". It sure is a head turner and I just love it. Got it tinted, interior blue lights and slimline weathershield. I will post photos soon. Where abouts are you based in Acuman? And how do I find out what number is my ZR6?

Just picked up my ZR6 Infernon on Saturday here in NZ. Drives bloody good and am happy with it. Paid $43k NZD (about $35k AUD) including 5 year warranty, 30,000 service,tints, stereo upgrade, monsoons and interior blue lights.

I got a better deal with the SX6 and with the added options of leather (of my own liking) and tints, floor lights etc. it still came cheaper than the ZR6. I would have liked the push start but would not really need the other features as it will only be the family in the weekends and me for 5 days a week. I can use the money I saved in getting some after market 19s.

And NZ does not have the ZR6 as yet. They are still another 3 to 4 months away, but initially won't be discounted by much.

$35k is the AUD equivalent of $42k NZ. The SX6 retails here for $45,500 plus ORC. But 1 dealer here had a great deal to for $38,000 driveaway, plus it cost me about $4k for the extras, i.e. leather, audio upgrade to include bluetooth and aux input, tints, floor illumination etc. That's why I bought it while I am here on holiday as I only have 8 more weeks to spend in Oz when I return. I haven't seen them as cheap for the whole year so jumped at the deal. The fleet price is the same in NZ, but having a knowledge of these large dealerships and how they trade, buying at the end of the financial year or the end of the calender year is the best for deals as they try to get rid of the 2007 builds, or want to sell more cars to meet dealer targets. The cars might be sold at a slight loss for the dealer, but they make it up in the incentives they receive as Toyota still makes a profit out of selling the car. I saw the car at the dealership today. Arrived from Toyota storage and waiting for leather to be fitted and tints done. I can't wait to drive it for a week till I return and can fully test the beast.

Looks good. I live in Brisbane but am in NZ at the moment. I am moving back here in March and while I am here, just bought myself a brand new SX6. Got a really good deal as they are getting rid of the 07 builds. Paid $42k NZD (about $35k AUD) with Leather, stereo upgrade and other bits and pieces. I got Inferno colour and can't wait to get my hands on it. I will post pictures once I get it. It is getting leather installed and tints put on. I will have sleepless nights in Brisbane till I return and have a good crack at driving the beast. Hopefully my old man will keep it in good shape. I was going to get a Holden, but opted for the Aurion when a cousin of mine who is a mechanic at a Holden dealer drove the SX6 and said, take this one. Better engine than the SV6. His first reaction when he turned the ignition, "is the engine on as I can't hear it?" :o
