I'm sure the term "whitegoods on wheels" was coined specifically for the Camry.

Very expensive fridge

Always liked this bit from 'The Simpsons':

Skinner: Ah 1995, fine year for Camrys. No one would ever guess you've spent 3 months in a lake.

Lexus is still a fridge, just a stainless steel fridge with the ice thingo on it.

people that bag these cars have little idea how good they are.

Aurion is a bargain at the price, completely on a different level quality and performance wise than its competition from ford or holden.

I took a brand new Aurion for a drive the other day, 0-100km/h in mid to high 5's bog stock. (I have a video to prove it).. Those front tyres squirming to hang on in first gear. That level of performance with that fuel economy and with a quality upmarket car (basically a lexus) attached to it, fantastic buying.

Buy one, put your money where your mouth is

[TheSneakiness]

Still the same steering wheel they've been using the past 10 years...

[uniacidz]

Do no like the black wheels

Makes it look like a poor attempt by the owner to make it stealthier

Rubbish. One of my mates has a Presara (runout one) and it does not do 0 - 100 in mid 5's. They arent as good as you make out, the interior is very dated, the command centre is **** and its fwd. It handles like a crispy cream donut. An FGX G6ET for the same money smokes it in nearly ever aspect except for the headlights and blind spot assist.

[GTBenny]

I've driven both Aurions and Camrys and yes they do go quite well. The reliability is second to none but do they appeal to me, certainly not. The only people that they do seem to appeal to are the 70's and over crowd that like to sit in the right lane doing 10KPH under the speed limit.

Ill post up the video. time it yourself.

The fords are very capable cars but they dont hold a candle to an aurion in the quality department.

Here's a video of a an aurion going from 0-100. No mech changes since that model, so no reason for the new one to be any faster. Looks to be a tad under 7 seconds (which matches what real life owners have found at 6.8s)

You should go and join the Toyota forum then. I don't know who unbanned you, or why you even bothered coming back here. A troll, is a troll, is a troll.....

Mate it is simply impossible for a car with this much weight and rated power levels to achieve a sub six second run to 100!!!

Toyota has not updated 3.5ltr V6 and slow 6 speed gearbox ever since they were introduced back some 10 years ago and yet each updated camry / aurion only got heavier and heavier ...

By your theory the first pov spec 2005 model would be doing sub 5 second runs to 100

My sentiments exactly, quite possibly a very nice car, but for me it's white goods.
Then again I drive a Ranger and the wife drives a Territory, so I'm probably not in a position to judge.

But would your friends and neighbour's think your cool if you owned one ?

[XR Martin]

Mid 5s 0-100 would make them a high 13sec 1/4mile car.

I dont even think the TRD Aurions could crack a 13, letalone a regular one.

High 5s to 100 really.............high fives............... the only high five you will get in an aurion is down at the retirement home when your showing it off

[marty351]

White goods come in boxes.
Probably have more fun with that.
Just imagine 'ol pops hooning to the chemist in his sub 6 second aurion.

The only way the Aurion would of acheived mid 5's is going down hill.
