CYNICS might take some convincing, but the Toyota Aurion sits comfortably into its role as a Holden Commodore/Ford Falcon/Mitsubishi 380 challenger, even if it’s little more than a V6 version of the now four-cylinder-only Camry. Forget about the Camry for a moment though and consider the Aurion’s presence on the road, its indisputably generous interior and its generous serve of punch, all allied to the fact that it’s smooth, sophisticated, well-equipped and built like a bank vault. No, the Aurion still hasn’t quite nailed it as an enthusiast’s car, but that’s never held Toyota back in the past. And it sure looks a lot more acceptable than the Avalon - which remains its spiritual, if not actual, predecessor - as a means of grabbing a share of the Australian six-cylinder family-car market.
