The shape of the car and the rear look good, the front is crap... like its not a major disaster but why they went with so much black at the front I have no idea... black grill so it isnt distinguished from underneath where the rad/intercooler is, black under the headlights etc. Still...

The fact that it only occurs when idling in a stationary position etc means it has to almost certainly be the fan, start your car and have a look at it, at idle it should be on blowing air onto the radiator... if its not, work from their as to the causes of why its not working, from fuses as...

^ Yeah cost true, but in the case of something like a Sportivo not sure how much they cost exactly but it would be the same if not more than the Aurion... just for better suspension etc for its MASSIVE 120kw engine.

Exactly.... dual VVti and a 6 speed transmission are a large part of this as well It is stupid, but it explains why Australia is the only country to have both the Aurion and the Camry... because it really is pointless having both. Well Im sure you already read, they are official...

^ Nothing official, but Ive read that it will be priced competively against the Commdore and Falcon, expect base model to be around $34k and top models to be around $50k. No idea how much the TRD Aurion will be, I recon in excess of $50k because it is afterall competing against FPV and HSV...

I don’t think its Euro easily at all, although I do rate the Euro it would be stupid to not wait till the Aurion comes out, less than 1 month, and then compare. Lol you sound like a Honda sales rep, trying to tempt the creater of this thread into not waiting until the Aurion comes out cos there...

^ Yeah I would strongly consider the Aurion > Camry, the Camry has no guts, a 120kw engine compared to Euro 140kw or 204kw Aurion. Supposedly it will be compriced competively against Holden n Ford, so it should be around the same price as the Euro... but offers a substantially more powerful...

Lol hmmmm, let me see.... chrome doorhandles : Heaps of cars have this, most luxury cars namely, and the Aurion was designed as a luxury car for its Asian market, thats why even the base model has a wood grain dash etc, well imitation wood at least. * chrome around the windows : Not sure...

^ Ive read that Australia is the only market to have both designs (like Camry and Aurion) and that the TRD Aurion is exclusive to Australia.

Yeah I think people who get XR8's are prity dumb... less power, worse fuel efficiency. The only benefit is the sound of a big V8. As for the TRD Aurion, I was just reading about it...supposedly its EXCLUSIVE to Australia. EDIT: Also has pedal operated handbrake like Mercedes', interior...

Personally I think the new commodore is crap, they are asking $35k for a car that doesnt even come with alloy wheels.... but oh its got standard stability control across the line (Pity your paying the extra $2k or whatever for it now in the price tag). And when you put it in perspective, they...

^ Yeah, because they aernt putting a V8 in they have gone for the supercharger to compete against the XR8 etc (Which if it has 245kw... should be able to compete prity well with considering the XR8 I think is only 260kw with a heavy V8 engine)

Lol, those features aernt found on any cars but the Accord Euro aye? :rolleyes: It looks similar to alot of cars... but alot of manufacturers are heading down this path, like the new Commodore has similarities with the Falcon... I think its because with such large investments its safer to be...

^ Yeah that can be so annoying, yesterday in a 70 zone had someone on their bike, its like ffs just use the path... as if a cop is going to get them for it. Worst one is though when its a single lane road and theirs a group of riders, they often dont show any courtesy and your stuck behind...

Im prity sure its 200kw... 204kw on Premium Unleaded :uhhuh: It really does embaress Holden and Ford though... theyve been in the big 6cyl game for how long yet Toyota have been able to generate a car that despite having a smaller engine has more power than the Holdens 3.6L engine and even...

Yeah I can see where your coming from... like I always say to my mum that I recon I could handle situations on the road better then her cos I have pushed my car to its limits and know them and what to do, she does not (She is a VERY slow driver, painfull at times) - and being realistic, all most...

Yeah I dunno m8... a modern car like an SS is going to be less 'complicated' to drive then a 1980's Toyota Camry with no power steering or any other features to speak of apart from radio cassette. The rules being a real biatch aside (Not that I could afford any of the cars listed), I can see...

^ Lol biggest coincidence ever.... just as soon as I read the part about Family guy I heard the intro to it cos my brother just put it on :uhhuh: They are always the worst situations... I usually watch the other car whilst turning even though it can be dangerous either way cos a car in...

^ Yeah my thoughts as well ^ And you will find that it will cost an arm and leg for Honda stuff, and realistically if you have money to spend you can get betteer equipment externally, although Im not sure if much is available for the new civics, maybe mofications would have to be made...

Yes I havent driven many cars.... about 4, a Suzuki Baleno (mums), mine (Camry Vienta), Commodore (Friends), Lancer (Friends). But this aside, I have driven in ALOT of cars which are half decent which gave me a rough feel of the cars not to mention hearing what the owner has to say.... Ive...
