I'm in love with that car!

I wish that they would bring it to the states.

I wonder if this is the same tranny in the US Camry?

If you want to buy the premo 3500 SL version, be prepared to dole out $50K USD!!! Plus whatever it costs to get it here, unless they make a Camry version of the powertrain here in the States! Supercharged V6!! OUCH!

How'd they stuff in 323 ponies and yet only achieve 0-60 in 6.1 seconds? The Gen1 Solara/Gen4 Camry with the 3.0L TRD supercharger was able to hit 60 in under 6, and they only estimated ~240HP.

Odd.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I still crave this car like a fat boy does hot fudge.

When I e-mailed TRD USA they said quitely bluntly that they don't plan to launch the supercharger here in the U.S.

Bummer.

I want it, what a mean looking front end.

I'd still want it with a regular powerplant. That car is beautiful. I have one performance car and don't need another. It would be perfect for a daily driver even hugely detuned.

Are you an official here?
Cause you've officially given me a boner.

I like the silver one. Definetly looks better than the standard Aurion by far.

Please no more pics its not fair

[jofrad]

if we cant get the supercharger, at least give us the black wood trim on the L version and those seats, OMG. even the center console itself, looks better, doesnt have that removable piece.

[njerald]

The sport seats do look fine!!!!!!!!

[LNGasMan]

I don't know...


After looking a the pics for a while, I think I'll keep my SE. It would just be too difficult to drive on the right hand side here in the US.

And the TRD brakes and side mirrors and tail lights.
