Dam that looks good from the front ..... some nice TTE stuff to

Not to sure on the back as I can't really tell from the pic, however it looks so good from the front, who cares

[GRD008]

yep i like that too.... much better than the auris

[.bulldog.]

looks awesome! the front looks real nice, the back is a bit weird mainly due to the back lights, they look like new shape rx330

But will they sell it in the UK? Seems that loads of nice cars in Japan don't get sold here

It might be that the Japanese production facilities are a bit more flexible than the EU ones and can do shorter production runs of the more unusual cars.

Looks much better than the auris very nice B)

Wonder how much it cost? :)

I don't think they will be sold here but i don't see the problem if you import one over here as i think the insurance should be close to the Auris, it is basically the same car but probably a little more expensive being an import. I think you can actually change the look of the rear of the car to the Auris, looking at it carefully you can see the parts are the same fitting.

I like it :D

Those rear lamps look like updated Starlet GT lamps :)

280bhp V6 model??! now thats crazy!! hope its true!

[mr_miller]

don't really like spreading unsubstaniated rumours, but i think All Wheel Drive might be an option too...

[bigshark]

[CustomIce]

Looks like a bit of a weapon! especially if its all wheel drive 280bhp!

[mr_miller]

Looks like our aussie friends are a bit ahead of us....

280bhp all wheel drive sounds about right, there was an avensis estate available somewhere (germany i think) with a 300bhp bi-turbo v6 engine 4x4 running gear and 19in wheels as standard, and they have been making 2.4 turbo 4x4 avensis's in derby to ship out somewhere, and most manufacturers dont make the technology for only one model
