Interesting!
Can only be a good thing. Not the car, the competition.

I think we can almost safely say that the 380 will be no more if this thing sells well.

The TRD Aurion will be AWD, with a Supercharger bolted on to the same V6. I'd say that power will be in the vincinity of 250KW or more, given that bolting a turbo to the Barra I6 took power from 182KW to 240KW. This article was written in July, and basically tells you what I just did. Haven't heard any more since. TRD Aurion article

As far as I know, TRD Aurion will be available in January 07.
Not sure of any further specs, and it doesn't come with a manual transmission.

Despite what everyone says, i think this thing will be a serious threat and will probably be in the end of the 380.
If the interior and fuel economy are up to scratch with 204 kw- it will sell no doubt about it

Hey if the usual Toyota quality is there unlike Ford/Holden then I would buy one as a family hack over another Falcon. Stuff going to the dealer twice a month to fix warranty issues...

If I were the CO of Ford I would be very nerveses of the Aurion.. It has a body shape that would appeal to the majority as it's not a in your face look like the Commodore... Most buyers don't give 2 hoots whether is a FWD or RWD. So being a FWD will not affect the sales.. And it has exellant fuel economy, which at the moment with the cost of fuel and the fear of petrol hitting $2 ltr, it makes the Aurion look more attractive to new car buyers |

Maybe the turbo Aurion AWD will become the new Civic for "ricers." There would be a large export market there.

It will be AWD... pretty sure it's the same running gear from the Toyota Kluger.
260kw is the rumoured power limit. I'm pretty certain it will be unveiled at SMS this year

3.5L V6 with 204KW? Not impressed... I'm still waiting for the new honda legend. That will have 225KW from only a 3.5V6. That's amazing for such a small capacity...
