    Damn! Call me nuts, but I quite liked their cars. (though I suppose they could've, and should've, made an AWD Aurion)

    Have to say though, despite the fact that the Aurion wasn't that great (being FWD), I'd like to take a TRD Hilux out for a spin sometime.

    Erm, toyota have stopped TRD?

    I thought TrD was a worldwide brand? Or has only the Australia section been dumped?

    Seriously though who is surprised, the Aurion is butt ugly in stock form and piece of crap to drive whacking a charger, bodykit and a few other parts doesnt make a **** car good.

    The TRD Hilux is an AWESOME machine. I seriously thought about swapping the Clubby for one when they first came out.

    I am seriously thinking about bitch slapping you for that comment.

    Actually, if you get a 4WD we can go out to the Brindies with Sarahs brother, get bogged and winch each other out

    True that! I still don't understand why they even bothered with it in Aus as they have the Lexus division aimed at the more sportier market....

    Yeah it's gone gone. It was to be a world wide brand but it was launched in Aus. Very bad timing though (how were they to know).

    It's a shame really. I quite like the look of them. Would have been good to see HSV and FPV with a competitor but I guess it wasn't to be.
    Car theives should be treated just like horse theives and cattle rustlers in the days of the wild west... Hang them!

    They were also surprisingly comfortable inside

    As well as being FWD only, they ONLY came in Auto.......
