Those Aurion's are bloody nice cars to drive, even with out a charger. Gotta love the traction control, you need it too as they have no trouble frying tyres.

I'd take one over a ford or holden any day.

The only thing that puts me off is fwd, xr6t is quite good.

But then again modern day fwd handle alright looking at Mazda 3 mps

I'd have to drive one to make a decision, looks better than fords or holdens though

i remember hearing that some racing driver punted one round manfield in the low 1:20's. thats pretty rapid for a heavy standard car, they must handle very well.

Not bad, great in the looks department. Thats still a fair bit of power for a fwd though. Has the Aurion replaced the Camry, its very Camry like.
