I'm getting a JZX100 Mark II next month, because it suits all my requirements for a midsize RWD manual sedan, with at least 200kw, and not a falcodore.

Which got me thinking...

Seriously... why did Toyota AU bother creating the hopelessly unremarkable and wrong-wheel-drive TRD Aurion (or, Frankencamry as I like to call it) when things like this have been majestically tearing up the streets of Japan for years?

 

 

GRX-120

3GR-FE

Supercharger

Rear Wheel f@$king Drive

 

56k click here and come back tomorrow

 

I will probably upgrade to one of these in a few years as they become available for import.

Toyota AU, you suck. Really. If it weren't for grey imports this bloody annoying brand loyalty I seem to have developed, I would have jumped ship years ago.

I agree totally. i don't know what the people in charge of Toyota are thinking. they could chew a massive hole out of holden and fords sales. i suspect that all the directors are Camry driving pensioners. you know the type with tissues in floral boxes on there back parcel shelf.

I think someone at Toyota has a finger up Holden and Fords bum,

 

If Toyota had a good RWD car they could have the whole fist up there!!!

I don't know about the JZX100 Mark II BUT I LOVE the Mark X!

 

:D

In the interests of public education... JZX100 Mark II Tourer V, Series 2

My apologies for posting PORN on this otherwise wholesome forum... gnnnnnnnk... aaah.

I already have with the new model crap they bring out

except for the older models like the corollas and taliwagons (Every Taliban and his best mate drives them - HiLux)

I already have a Taliwagon :D

 

Well, a Surf anyway. Its just a hilux with electric things and a sunroof...

I'd have no hesitation in buying an aurion, They have proven themselves to be a fast and well balanced car. That said the one you have posted sounds awesome too.

Mmmmm Mark X

 

Dude, I must know, what is it costing you to get that thing?

 

I could justify buying one of those to my wife: it's a toyota, so it'll be reliable, it's a 4 door, so it's sensible, it's comfortable, it's sexy, I just want one.

 

Unless I hear more about the Lexus ISF "M3 eater".......... Lexus IS F Just epic..........

Thats pretty much the same logic I have used to justify it to my missus as well.

The fact that it goes like shit off a shanghai is just a bonus... :D

 

Not cheap though. In the trim level and auction grade I want (and I'm a picky bastard) I'm not expecting much change from 25-28k. Still much cheaper than any local equivalent that would come even close to matching it though...

That's a fair/reasonable price, I'd pay that, no hesitation........

 

You go, I'll get the ISF, then we can meet at a track day and "drift barges", epic. Or just roll large in the pimpmobiles........ :D

I'm ALL about pimpin.

I got a rolla to go fast round corners... the JZX is purely for cruisin, reprazentin' da white middle class stylezz. :D

 

I'd have to think hard about the IS-F.... for that kinda moolah I could slide into my dream car.... E39 BMW M5....

yeah, E39 M5 is all class! ITB V8 power in a nice looking bavarian.

Why does everyone want a brand new toyota RWD car these days?
