    I'm not sure where you got that information, but you seem very misinformed about diesel fuel.





    Some good info there, if you're interested in actual facts.

    Edit: If you want to sound ignorant to others when you talk about diesel, that's cool with me. I was just trying to help.

    Back to TRD I guess.

    Not really.

    Diesel is many times more efficient than petrol.

    Ever driven a bmw 320d compared to a 320i (diesel vs petrol)? Or a golf TDI vs a 1.6? My mothers 320d is effortlessly quick in a straight line, sounds good, and gets back around 6.8L of fuel /100km

    i saw a trd aurion up close.. and sat in one ..loved the look of the car ... so much more then any ford or holden .. too bad its fwd .. shit someone at trd needs to get slapped im thinking the accounts or marketing department.

    im pretty sure that the trd enigneers would of all said yes to a rwd version of a aurion .. but its those damn accounts ppl saying too expensive...

    untill toyota get into a large motorsport category (v8 supercars) in australia we will never see a rwd toyota 'drivers' car. there was some hope when they were looking into entering but with the global economy the way it is im sure it has been pushed even further back on toyota's agenda
    stroked 2L ca18-ae86 in the build...eta xmas 2012?

    It's a completely different motor than a petrol. They don't actually need to rev. They make peak power and torque extremely low in the rev range. You can drive around a modern turbo diesel between 900-2500rpm getting usually around 300-600nm of torque on with a flat linear curve. Thats why they're so efficient. Most petrol motors need to be revved further to get power.

    Anyway I started a new thread on diesels as not to rape this one.
