I'm sure the term "whitegoods on wheels" was coined specifically for the Camry.

My sentiments exactly, quite possibly a very nice car, but for me it's white goods.
Then again I drive a Ranger and the wife drives a Territory, so I'm probably not in a position to judge.

Always liked this bit from 'The Simpsons':

Skinner: Ah 1995, fine year for Camrys. No one would ever guess you've spent 3 months in a lake.

Lexus is still a fridge, just a stainless steel fridge with the ice thingo on it.

people that bag these cars have little idea how good they are.

Aurion is a bargain at the price, completely on a different level quality and performance wise than its competition from ford or holden.

I took a brand new Aurion for a drive the other day, 0-100km/h in mid to high 5's bog stock. (I have a video to prove it).. Those front tyres squirming to hang on in first gear. That level of performance with that fuel economy and with a quality upmarket car (basically a lexus) attached to it, fantastic buying.

Rubbish. One of my mates has a Presara (runout one) and it does not do 0 - 100 in mid 5's. They arent as good as you make out, the interior is very dated, the command centre is **** and its fwd. It handles like a crispy cream donut. An FGX G6ET for the same money smokes it in nearly ever aspect except for the headlights and blind spot assist.

The fords are very capable cars but they dont hold a candle to an aurion in the quality department.

You should go and join the Toyota forum then. I don't know who unbanned you, or why you even bothered coming back here. A troll, is a troll, is a troll.....

yes, timing your YouTube video of speedometer sounds like the most accurate way of measuring acceleration

I am sitting here with my wrist watch, eagerly waiting.........

Mate it is simply impossible for a car with this much weight and rated power levels to achieve a sub six second run to 100!!!

Toyota has not updated 3.5ltr V6 and slow 6 speed gearbox ever since they were introduced back some 10 years ago and yet each updated camry / aurion only got heavier and heavier ...

By your theory the first pov spec 2005 model would be doing sub 5 second runs to 100

High 5s to 100 really.............high fives............... the only high five you will get in an aurion is down at the retirement home when your showing it off

Like others have said it didn't even hit 100kmh plus the speedos are out a few km it would have been in the 6s. Magazines test actual 0-100 not using a stop watch on a factory speedo that's out and probably going downhill on YouTube

The only way the Aurion would of acheived mid 5's is going down hill.
