Yeah I did - didn't excite me a great deal to be honest - I've always felt its finer details (front/rear mainly) were not executed as well as they could've been which in my mind reduces the appeal of the whole car.

The car they touted as the 'most important' car of the show was in fact the replacement for the Australian Toyota Avalon called the 'Aurion' - again, it didn't excite me at all, mainly because it looked like a carbon copy of the Ford Falcon (I think it might've been penned by the same guy?) and also, it's FWD, and this alone will heavily jeapodize its marketability....

Oh, and the Citroen C6 was an interesting looking car, verdict's still out on that one for me...


Forgot to look at the RR Phantom LWB, spewin'!


Here's a little video by drive.com.au of the event, mainly covering dull and boring cars noone wants to hear about...
