What is an Aurion?

[DaYiM]

Since there is no post in this section i decided to put this
small introduction to this car:- ( By the way it's my car also )

The Toyota Aurion, is a mid-size car produced by Toyota in Australia and parts of Asia since 2006. The Aurion, given the model designation GSV40R,^[1] is essentially a Toyota Camry (GSV40) with revised front- and rear-end treatment, along with changes to the interior. The Camry-based Aurion is also sold in the majority of East and Southeast Asia as the Toyota Camry, with the original version of the Camry sold alongside the Aurion in Australasia and the Middle East. In the previous two markets, the car replaces the Avalon model, which can trace its roots back to the early 1990s.
In the Australasian and Middle Eastern markets, to further differentiate the Aurion from its Camry sibling, Toyota equips the Aurion exclusively with a 3.5 litre V6 engine. With the Camry, only the 2.4 litre four-cylinder model is offered. Previously in these markets, prior to the introduction of the Camry (ACV40/GSV40), Toyota had offered both four- and a six-cylinder powerplants.Along with the naturally-aspirated version, Toyota also produced an Australia-only supercharged TRD Aurion between 2007 and 2009. Tuned by Toyota Racing Development (TRD), this performance variant was at its release claimed to be the world's most powerful front-wheel drive car.^[5]
The powertrains used in the Asian specification Camry vary slightly from those of the Aurion. As well as the 3.5 litre V6, two four-cylinder engines are offered in either 2.0 litre or a 2.4 litre form. These engines are mated with a six-, four- and five-speed automatic transmissions respectively.

The red TRD version looks very nice!

[Hydralisk]

They should bring this to the US and label it as a Camry. Looks so much better than the current Camry IMO and I think it would appeal to a younger crowd as well. And yeah the red TRD looks niceee

In China, they still refer to the Aurion as the Camry.

They're one and the same.

That's right, even in Malaysia & Thailand it called Camry.

[iovaykind]

Yeah, hands down this "camry" is way better than the current camry's in the US

[LynchburgCSI]

All the camry guys (including me) would LOVE to see the Aurion sold here in the US. Especially the TRD version.

Very true, plus Australia is one of the few countries that are more power hungry about their cars than the US.
This car is mislabled as the most powerful front wheel drive car made though. Mitsubishi came out with a diamante one year that squeaks out a tiny bit more power than this car. Very rare though.

[LynchburgCSI]

^ Pretty sure toyota meant "the most powerful FWD car being made currently".

[Jeff Lange]

Ford Focus RS500 also has more power and is FWD, but it is also a limited production run vehicle (though I don't think there are many TRD Aurions either).
