Toyota has suspended sales of the new TRD Aurion following an engine failure

Toyota has imposed a "sales stop" on its new 'hotshoe' supercharged TRD Aurion. The order was imposed late last week following the failure of an engine in a dealer demonstrator.

According to Toyota spokesperson, Mike Breen, the sales stop was issued as a precaution. Only a handful of the 241kW front-wheel drive sports sedans have already been delivered to their new owners.

"Toyota is always very cautious when it comes to mechanical issues. Rather than allow more cars to be delivered to owners, we have issued a sales stop while we determine the cause of the problem," Breen told the Carsales Network.

Breen said the problem was under investigation by Toyota and TRD engineers. He said the single failure involved a conrod and piston parting company.

Toyota personnel are currently examining all completed TRD Aurions and TRD is attempting to trace the source of the fault.

At this stage Breen would not confirm when the sales stop would be lifted.

"We're confident it's an isolated case. You could say we're being overly cautious but we're launching a new brand [in TRD] and we want to make sure nothing is left to chance," Breen said.

SG,

Isip ka muna if hindi ka mahihirapan ibenta yan. Kasi, bale 3rd owner na yung bibili and above 1m pa and yes, silver. :hysterical:

Oh well, sa good buy good buy. Tsaka look at the bright side, pag hindi mo nabenta yan may bago ka nanaman -, 3.5Q camry pa ....

And ... Malay mo, maisipan mo iparepaint yan. :rofl01:

FINK ftw. :rofl:

Ganito na lang, if mabenta mo good pero isipin mo din kung hindi mo mabenta or kung mabenta mo below your buy price would you be willing to keep it?

Typically mid size sedans really sell lower than sub-compact and compacts as a % of their brand new price kasi many people who buy 2nd hand cars value fuel efficiency... Most rich people who don't mind fuel efficiency would always go brand new for the most part... Pati nga Accord ko baba ng resale value eh, same price lang with a Civic of the same year!!!

Okay siya. I have a Camry and I am very happy with its performance. Just what price is he quoting "under P1 Million", can you go as low as P900k? I think it is a good buy.

[Starex_Gold]

Basta the price is under P1 Million. But not lower than 900K

Actually naisip ko din yan, pre.

Siguro kung mabenta ko same price ng pagkabili ko, ok na yun para break even lang. Pero ayoko sanang mabenta ng mas mababa sa bili ko..

So ano na talaga gagawin ko?

[tidus1203]

Bilin mo na, kasi sa totoo lang gandang kotse yan sulit talaga for less than a mil!

[Starex_Gold]

Ok. So sulit na when it comes to the price..

How about the maintenance?

Yung Toyota kasi namin, Vios at GL Grandia. Yung Vios, very cheap maintenance since 1.5L engine. Konti lang ang oil & * 35k ODO, wala pa major parts na pinapalitan. Sa GL Grandia, Diesel naman, pero halos ganun din ang cost even * 65K ODO.

Iniisip ko paano naman kaya sa Camry, 3.5L V6, Dual VVT-i..

[tidus1203]

Mas mahal yan for sure kasi maliban sa Camry, V6 version pa... Expect P7000 on a typical PMS like 5K and even breach P10,000 on major PMS like 20K. But that's typical of mid size sedans with engines like that...
