just reading back Torxteer was saying on page 3 that toyota struggled to sell its first one hundred Aurions, i thought the same but have only just realised that (im not sure about the Mainland, but,) Tasmanias whole undercover cop car force are these TRD and normal Aurions which makes me think that anyone with over 200Kw has ABSOLUTELY no worries in the world.
I Agree with the majority of you all when it comes to your opinions on ytf Toyota didnt bring out a TRD corolla!!! i could see nothing better than another AE86 rolling off Toyotas production line. I look forward to a NEW TRD Corolla AE??86?? Sprinter Toyotas most popular Corolla was the AE86 because its the only bloody one w/out FWD, they definately need to bring in RWD or AWD for sure |

What tha?????
I say that AWD seems not to be popular because it is dearer and less quick in a straight line than a similar RWD only despite having safer handing characteristics and this is why you say I am wrong????? Quote:

However what Toyota needs to do is polish the Corolla badge which they haven't done in 20 years. The Corolla seems to be the only car in the world going BACKWARDS in power!!!!!!!! They STILL haven't matched the perfromance of the 4AGE AE86's and 20-valve AE92 and that was in the late 80's!!!!!!!! |

I was responding to : Quote:
It failed , like the Celica GT4 as mentioned because it just didn't cut the mustard. It wasn't a whole heap better in any dept and offered very little incentive to part with the $20K gap over its RWD sibling........ However, as I stated, an AWD TRD WOULD have been better than its FWD iteration if executed correctly......it had the potential to offer heaps more than the FWD is capable of......and may have lended itself more to the market that is used to powerful Rear Wheel Drive cars. |

What's going to happen to Neil Crompton's beloved TRD Aurion Aussie race car?

The thing about sales of TRD's are most people that would have bought a TRD would not have been taking direct comparision with any performance car like an f6 or clubsport. Most HSV and FPV buyers come from ford and holden and none from toyota.

Damn maybe if their vehicles had a bit more muscle they would be more popular

And Prodrive do not own TRD, they were only contracted to do the assembly for them, thats as far as it goes, they don't own any of it or do any development work for them, so they are not a sister operation to FPV, which is majority owned by Prodrive. |
