It's way too soon to say how these will turn out. I mean on one hand they want to appeal to the tuner crowd who loved the AE86 and so on, but then on the other they are trying to produce a mainstream sports car which the market segment expects or requires a certain level of sophistication and...

Is that for cars in general or the two models which I mentioned? I remember the huge shortage of both those models (the Prius and GTi) leading to some punters who bought in early trying to flog them off at a premium. One of my managers at work even managed to make a small profit on hers so...

Are RC helicopters the same as those things you see in lots of shopping centres usually promoted/sold at one of those small booths for like $50-$60? Or do you mean the professional RC helicopters?

At least it's a harmless thing... could've been worse. But meh, I don't think it's such a bad thing. It's no different to high 5's either (which is a very Western cultural thing). Both are positive gestures which are foreign to other cultures. Fair point.

TBH I carry two phones. It's alot easier than trying to use the dual sims which often require you to reset the phone anyway to switch sims (i.e. you can't have them both on at the same time). I think dedicated phones (like the aforementioned Samsung) do let you distinguish between the two but...

The 2nd gen Prius and Golf GTi (Mk V) both appreciated in value too (at least initially).

Saving up for a new one or a used one? New ones are pretty exp (unless you go for like an A Class............. which is still pretty exp for what it is). Used ones in the $30k bracket aren't too bad (like the last gen C class). Pity they aren't all P plater friendly despite being considerably...

But the driveability and stability of an AWD Legacy (nb. I'm Malaysian hence I use the local names) is far more important than having a huge amount of power/torque in a car which cannot fully utilise it... ... on another note, I got overtaken by a Legacy on the highway and it was doing at least...

They're entitled to do as they like in photos... and it's their own cultural thing or fad that they want to do. I don't get how or why it would piss anyone else off... it's not like it hurts you or you're forced to look at photos of Japanese girls doing it!

Err why is this post directed at me o_O? I was merely stating a potential reason why it's done... not that I do it. Anyway as I said before, I don't think it's anything more than just a pose. It's no different to people smiling or purposely angling their face in a photo. Only difference is...

Agreed about the look. The bodykit is awesome and it made my cousins in Malaysia very interested in buying the Camry V6 and slapping on the TRD Aurion bodykit.

IIRC it's actually Victory. *shrugs* It's no different to why Westerners smile in photos I suppose. It's just a pose which is embedded in their culture.

I don't like the business model where you have to pay each year for subscriptions to download the latest AV updates... and that's what turned me off from Norton and the like. That being said I used to be a Norton 360 user- it was good in terms of interface for noobs, but it's a bit of a...

a) You were meant to get experience when your minimum wage was lower back at 16 or so (admittedly I didn't do this and took a gamble). b) You can always get experience as a Christmas casual or something along those lines... even JB Hifi has pretty relaxed hiring policies from what I've heard...

Both R32 Golf and Liberty have AWD going for them... may not have as much power but I'm pretty sure in both daily driving and on a track, they'd smash the overweight FWD TRD Aurion.

Yeh AWD on that car would've made a huge difference. And 241kW or whatever it is is hectic. That's right up there with Evo's and STI's. Interestingly Toyota pit this car against far more established players... URL: TRD Aurion hints at Toyota excitement - www.drive.com.au

Do you think Toyota should invest more in RWD? I think if they had a good RWD base to begin with, the TRD Aurion might've been more successful. That being said, the Aurion is just a Camry with a bodykit (in other markets it's simply branded a V6 Camry).

It amazes me how many people don't get this concept that the cutoffs each year are dependent on supply and demand in the respective years! To OP- don't worry. Just let things come. The whole point of the preference system is so that you need not worry about your ATAR or marks or anything...

agreed. not many people realise that the selling price of the car is not necessarily indicative of a price which will get it up and running in good nick. especially if it's a performance car, there's a good chance the gearbox and diff are fked and a few other areas are lacking. ... on an...
