I agree with him, I was behind a new Focus hatch today and was almost throwing up in my mouth. But then again, no Focus has ever looked good IMO.

Focus has a few designs cues that do raise the brows, but this... I think car bra sales for this will skyrocket. It's like they put a lot of effort into making it this tacky. Complete design failure; the designers should turn themselves in for this abomination, or get another job.

Don't know about that... This used to be mine before i got my XR6T. I think it looks great. Got a lot of compliments too.

Wasn't a bad car. Did not skip a beat in the 3 years a had it from new unlike my FG XR6T. (transmission cooler milkshake being the biggest problem amongst others).

Drum brakes are better in some situations. Apparently they have a MUCH better park brake, and are better with differing loads and towing.

Not the prettiest thing to look at, but it will sell well i'm guessing...

Yes but Scruby knows better than all of us. God bless him....

I do agree that it has Honda Civic/Accord Euro look to it as well as a bit of Subaru.
Are these car companies going for first prize in the ugliest car competition for 2011?
They start off with a decent looking model and then make it look absolutely woeful.

Wow, I thought the new Tander HSV ads were a streatch. Did Klye Bush say Toyota's racing technology goes directly into the new Hybrid, WTF? You can pretty much say whatever you want in an ad these days.

Camry's are appliances for people who have given up on the thrill of driving or never knew of it in the first place. I'm bored allready. YAWN

I don't think there has ever been a decent looking Camry. Every model has been bland and uninspiring.

WHY??????

This wouldn't have to do with load sensor adjustment on the rear brakes would it?
As I think disc brakes would be to difficult to adjust for when weight is placed in tray.
Just a thought.

Bossxr8 · 26-08-2011, 10:26 PM

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

That side profile is terrible, and the rear end is Subaru boring. Lower front bar is hiddeous.

Till_Lind · 27-08-2011, 12:58 AM

Front reminds me of newer Subarus, and they aren't pretty.

Falcman0o7 · 27-08-2011, 03:35 AM

Wow.......What an amazing looking contraption!

I could pick an object from my nose and would look better.

Record number of tissues sold in Springvale for male-only households on the release of this pictures...

JC · 27-08-2011, 04:54 PM

I look it - though the front looks like the Hawk front bar you can get for an AU falcon. I still wouldn't buy one (says he who drives a Mitsu 380......)

The Aurion is not a bad looking car. It should be. Most of the styling was penned by one of the young Australian designers who worked on the BA XR series.
