And for the record, these arent the first TRD branded vehicles.
It's not the first in the world, but it's the first TRD branded vehicle in Australia.

The "normal" Aurion-> http://aurion.toyota.com.au/toyota/v...4_1392,00.html & http://presara.toyota.com.au/toyota/...5_1472,00.html

South East Asian version of the Aurion, the Camry-> http://www.toyota.co.th/red/th/model...camry_home.htm & http://www.toyota.com.my/hid_5.html

that thing pisses on the US camry any day of the week. The US camry has that god-awful nose that makes it look like a whale.

A supercharged 3.5L V6 sounds great! But if its a FWD, then I dont care much for it.

They should have used this body(maybe stretch it slightly) for the N.American market Camry too so that people won't say it looks like the ES/LS, although I can tell them apart in an instant.

The aurion looks like the real successor to the 1IS. The 2IS shares no resemblance to the 1IS.

Very nice I've always loved TRD.. I remember seeing a white TRD Edition Solara on the showrom floor when I bought my Rav4 back in 02.. I am making my GS a TRD edition.. I just purchased some bits from over seas to add on the black beauty.
