    Default Toyota Drops TRD

    http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/Ar...eID=59808&vf=2

    Seems to be the flavour or the month.

    Maybe we are in a financial crisis? It is only Hilux and Aurion's though

    Yeah... but the TRD cars were crap. I had a senior police officer tell me the TRD Aurion he was driving was a "Heap of crap" in corners, and otherwise nothing but a comfortable highway car. lol

    I guess the first line said it all:

    "It was designed to take on HSV and FPV"

    They didn't have a chance at success, financial crisis or not. If they were to stand a chance they should have made a TRD corrola or something to take on the MPS/XR5 etc.

    In related news, after the announcement that the Toyota Australia is removing the TRD brand from sale, instances of the letter "U" being graffitied in strategic locations on Toyota dealership signs has dropped by a whopping 99%, a police spokesperson said today...

    Dont they have Bilsteins or something suspension? Thats not good news at all.

    Mind you, they prob put $150 a corner continentals on the TuRD, rather than some Toyos or Bridgies...

    Bilstein makes some great gear, but putting good suspension on a crap chassis still won't make the overall package work.

    Apparently it's still a fridge if you stick Bilsteins on it. lol
