    i don't think it would have mattered what they did with the camry. at the end of the day its still a camry!

    even when ralliart turboed and awd the magna a few years ago how many did they sell... f all cause its still a magna

    at the time trd should have just brought in some kick ass models from japan that we don't get here and just labelled it trd. most of the public would be none the wiser and i'm sure it would still be plenty cost effective than trying to polish a turd into a sports car

    Plenty of Toyota RWDs, but they are badged Lexus here!

    Harass the Aussie Govt to let in Jap imports and you will see plenty of them, just like NZ has. IS250s and IS-Fs second hand from the Jap auctions...

    There's now way a hotted up Camry was going anywhere! Insult to the TRD name!

    Was bound to happen, neither cars really satisfy the Australian market.

    FWD sedan and power, bogans want a v8 rwd ss.

    Hilux with grunt and a price tag to match when the diesel and petrol versions have easily enough stomp for the chassis.


    They should have ditched the TRD hilux and put the extra dough into designing a rwd aurion trd.

    I believe WWD or Wrong Wheel Drive is the correct terminology used amongst any good bunch of men
