Buying a brand spanking new car... Aurion or FG-X?

[HULK_I6T]

Hi

Finally decided that it's my turn in the group to buy a brand new car.. Everyone around me is buying one and I couldn't shirk off my turn any longer..

I've narrowed my decision to a brand new Toyota Aurion or a FG-X falcon XT. (I'm still keeping my other cars mind you)

To save a few bucks I could even go Camry..

Which is the best of these cars?

aurion does look a little plane Jane but has the firepower under the hood and it's nice enough inside.

The FG-X is also a nice car, probably a little slower than the aurion but should be more torquey. It's a new shape that hasn't really hit the mark in my eyes but overall no better or worse looking than an aurion.

Feature for feature they are both nice enough.

aurion is actually cheaper than fg-x falcon and Toyota probably screws their cars together a little better?

So aurion v fg-x falcon??

I slapped my forehead before I even opened this thread.

Ah Hulk up until now you maybe got away without making the idiocy of some of these threads believable, this one crosses the line.

[Trump]

Oh and whilst you're at it Hulk, you should also look into a VF Berlina.

[Sam_Boss260]

I have no words....... hang on..... nope nothing.

[Beastie]

Aurion, that way you can join the ATF (Australian Toyota Forum)

[Smoke Pursuit]

FGX XR6 is cheaper then an FGX XT.

Unless you buy a V8 you'll forever feel like you're not quite up to the standard of your friends with a 'pretend' motor. Sure it does all the stuff you need, but the image!! the image!!

In on Juan ...

In before the lock

im leaning towards the aurion to be honest. a bit more compact, faster, better on fuel, toyota reliability. Toyota also cheaper and holds its value better second hand. The Aurion motor dispatches most V8's.

Someone sell me the FG-X over the Aurion?

Hulk you are completely correct here. Please buy the Aurion. Please do

What V8 does it dispatch? A 253 HQ?

it would dispatch any N/A V8 ford has ever produced... (stock)

Aurion 0-100km/h in 5s.... No ford V8 N/A does that (stock)

[HULK_I6T]

Its a legit question. Most non ford people would automatically say Aurion but as Im a ford person I consider the FG-X.

I think someone's a little butthurt because they don't have a V8 anymore.

I'm just grateful they slowed the TRD Aurion down to 6.1 seconds to keep us all safe from harm.

I'd double check that 5s figure Hulkster as it looks a tad argumentative and not much else.

PS------as posted above it's the replies that give these threads life. Swim away....swim away.....

Aurion doesnt hold its value any better then a Falcon... my mate just bought a 2014 Presara with 15,000 kms on it for 28k... 12 months old! It was a 48k car new!

[Adamz Ghia]

An FGX XT huh? Yeah, go for it...

[Dash_XR]

V8 bit gives away troll motive.

[PridenJoy]

Aurion (screaming) couldn't dispatch my stock AU3 XR8 ute on gas (hardly a rocket), so what V8s does it dispatch exactly?

[Rob 351]

Go the Aurion. au.toyotaownersclub.com

& don't come back!!!!

[XR Martin]

I reckon an Aurion would look of if you blacked-out all the chrome.

[Polyal]

While we are on stupid topics the new camry RS thing does look thaaaaaaaaaaaaaat bad if you had too.

Till you have to steer it...

The worse thing about FWD Toyotas is the dead steering... The dynamics are chalk and cheese compared to a Falcon, which is much superior.
