Here's my old work mobile. Loved the free fuel, It won't do standstills though, the throttle cuts out after a few seconds of having your foot on the brake in 1st.

It lifts the inside rear wheel a good 6" when you corner hard too, though I don't have any pics of this.


Winds up okay though

http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/Artic ... leID=42719says theyre FWD
"There's easily enough grunt to overpower the front wheels on wet or dry roads, which enthusiasts will no-doubt like but can adversely affect the steering and catch out the unwary. Indeed, the TRD Aurion is the most powerful
front drive car this country has ever produced, and among the most powerful front-drive vehicles in the world today, so adverse effects on the steering are only to be expected."

TRD is AWD maybe they have active trans that switches between 2 and 4 wheels depending on road surface, but the toyota ad just on tv said they are 4x4

you are wrong on this.....it was only ever speculation by Wheels magazine that they were going to be AWD...
as much as AWD would be awesome on the TRD Aurion, wishing it was there wont make it exist

Maybe an ad for TRD Hilux?
I just checked the toyota website, says the TRD Aurions are FWD.

That ad says they are the first production car in the world to feature a 4-lobe Eaton supercharger. They're FWD. Keep arguing the point, you're gonna look like more of a fool

But not all TX3 Lasers are AWD either, only the turbo AWD ones are. You can still get NA and turbo FWD TX3s

Yes Kyle the N/A TX3 is FWD, but you get virtually no understeer because it is so light.....big heavy Aurion.....hhahahahahaha
Is yours really a TRD or just a sportivo.......i thought there was a difference....does yours have the Supercharger?

You would be surprised how fast the TX3 goes......it'd give you a run for your money.....because it also depends on who is behind the wheel
