Currently, this page has a number of photos of the Toyota Aurion. However, they are all of the Sportivo SX6 (except the Aurion AT-X uploaded by someone else) and aren't very high quality. I know because I took them in a rush last year before leaving the motor show. They also have the door open, and I don't have any pictures of the normal non-sport designs nor do I have any interior photos.
Does anyone have any photos of say an Aurion Presara/Prodigy? Also does anyone have any photos of the interior of any Aurion.
I could get them, but it's not the easiest task out there. I'm 16 years old, and I'm sure a car dealership won't be terribly pleased to hear someone not interested in buying their car, especially a 16 year old, taking photos of it.
P.S. Now that the TRD Aurion is out, I think photos of that are needed as well, I don't think the Sports Concept photo cuts it anymore now the real deal is actually out. It changed in quite a few places in exterior design before becoming a production vehicle (such as the black grille surround area and the wheel design). Alphabeta777 14:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I can contribute any photos you need i have a photos of every model Zt1993 ( talk) 01:48, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone think that the specification section has enough information? I am trying to compare it to a similar car article called the Ford BA Falcon which is a Good Article. Senators Talk | Contribs 00:23, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
I reviewed the article and found it to be very interesting. There was only one thing I was a little confused about. In the lead section, it says "...alongside the Aurion in the Middle East and Australasia, that being Australia and New Zealand." The last clause seems that it was not connected properly to the rest of the sentence. Since I am not sure what the sentence is trying to say, I cannot fix it myself. Other than that flaw, the only other problem is that a lot of the article is composed of jargon describing engine types, etc. (No, I do not mean when the article says 4-cylinder 4.5 liter engine), but that cannot be helped since, obviously, this is an article about a car. All I think that should be done is fixing that sentence in the lead section. Then it would be OK. Parent5446( Murder me for my actions) 22:42, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks guys, it feels fantastic to have finally got the article to GA status. Special thanks to Alphabeta777, OSX and Senators. HarrisonB - Conributions 08:18, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
The article suggests that the Aurion is based on the 6th generation Camry, but the exterior styling of the Aurion looks remarkably similar to the 7th generation Camry. Besides, the wheelbases are the same between the Aurion and the 7th generation Camry which is contrary to the fact that wheelbase of Camry has increased from 6th to 7th generation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.172.72.131 ( talk • contribs) 18:01, April 23, 2008
So far as the technical literature is concerned, at launch the Aurion was a Camry platform, with a new boot and nose. I imagine that a comparison of the wheelbase and track might serve to confirm or deny whether this is still the case. Greglocock ( talk) 11:28, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
i would like to make a compromise as an editing war has begun i am passionate about the Aurion i would like this article to show both views of the argument so people considering an Aurion will have all the facts because isn't that what Wikipedia is an encyclopedia? does an encyclopedia just tell opinions or does it tell fact so i think it would better to work together to make the article better
P.S please reply on my talk ty

Firstly, I move that a gallery of three images showing front, rear and side profiles of the vehicle remain. Along with the more details images integrated in the article, the result is a logical and neat layout with the right balance of text and images.
Regarding the Aurion and export to Asia under the Camry nameplate, I move that the export variant be restricted to an image and text in the Export section and that more detailed information about the camry be put in the camry article. The majority of this article should be for vehicles with the Aurion nameplate. The Asian camrys have different engines and options to the actual Aurion and are outside the scope of this article.

Here I am addressing my exchange of edit comments and reverts with OSX concerning the classification of the Aurion as "large car" or otherwise. Please see article's history for details of this rather nasty debacle that ensued. I would like to now try to make up a bit to the Wikipedia community and do it the way it should've been from the start.
OSX is arguing that the Aurion should be billed a mid-sized car, based on a discussion that occurred in his talk page - see it here. He refers to it as consensus, what I can see is an unfinished discussion. There were a lot of arguments being discussed, unfortunately many without much encyclopedic/Wikipedia merit. I guess the notion that a North American classification has to be used on this Australian car stems from the fact that there is no proper article for the Australian large car term.
Please note, however, that the vehicle can be given a class even without linking to it - there is no need for an article to exist to call a subject by its name (although perhaps it would be advisable to create one to address the subject). I perceive classifying the Aurion as a mid-sized car just because it might resemble a North American mid-size car or because it might have been classified as such had it been subject to EPA classification is rather convoluted, with all due respect to the well-meaning editors.
Again, I will be accused of referring to a convention that have not been formally put down (though actually can probably be found somewhere in the archives of WikiProject Automobile's talk page), but in general experienced editors of car articles and/or members of the WikiProjec seem to agree that if a "class" for a vehicle is given, it should be one used in its intended market, rather than some other one. I.e. while the Ford Contour article refers to it as a compact car, following EPA's official classification, the article on the near-identical Ford Mondeo does fine with defining it a large family car, according to EuroNCAP.
So, since the appropriate Australian authority has officially named the Aurion a large car, I see no reason why we should call it anything else here. PrinceGloria ( talk) 13:29, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

the statement that Optitron gauges are not in the Sportivo SX6 is false. I own a Sportivo SX6 and i have them. its as simple as that.
Zt1993 ( talk) 04:01, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
I don't find the Toyota brochures terribly informative. In the brochure I downloaded yesterday there's a picture of the optitron display without any mention that it's available only in some models. My understanding is that "optitron" refers to the backlighting. There's also the "multi-information display" which displays outside temperature, fuel consumption and range which I believe is distinct from optitron. In New Zealand, at least, the multi-information display is on the Sportivo SX6 but not on the AT-X. I'm not sure about the other models (NZ doesn't have the ZR6 and the Prodigy/Presara are renamed and might have different specs).
Zt1993, are you sure you're not confusing the optitron and the multi-information display? Is it possible that you got an optional extra thrown in by the dealer?
Since you ask, my interest in this car is that having got 15 years of excellent service from my six-cylinder Camry, I'm considering my options for a newer car, and the Aurion SX6 is at the top of my list as the direct successor. I haven't got as far as a test drive yet; it might even be a few years before I decide to change cars since the Camry is still totally reliable. You can add the The Dog & Lemon Guide as another source which explains that the Camry and Aurion are basically the same car. In its typically irreverent style, it says
“ | Knowing that many buyers saw the previous Camry as functional but bland, Toyota has created a new pretend brand for the larger-engined Camry, calling it the Aurion instead. Thus, the Camry will stay as the budget model for fleet buyers and timid mums, while the Aurion will tempt those few motorists who are still pondering a larger-engined vehicle. To us, the Aurion is just a Camry with a larger engine... | ” |
This doesn't put me off the Aurion at all. I am concerned by build quality issues, such as
“ | On several sporty Sportivo versions we tried out, a major plastic panel was out of alignment by several millimetres. On another version the lid on one of the centre cubbyholes was jammed shut. | ” |
Accordingly, I will carefully examine any car before I buy it.- gadfium 23:24, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
