Would be even nicer if a CU2 can have V6 200kw+ engine I think that's really the only thing missing from the current gen Euro - a meaty enough engine to push its bulk around.

FWD V6? Both the Accord V6 and Aurion suck compared to Falcon and Commodore (to drive). RWD FTW!

Even camry still under 100kgs different... taken from "Aurion specification summary PDF" (LOL!!!! Toyota doesnt even have quality checking on the item posted on their website)

the page: http://www.toyota.com.au/camry/specifications read the 'Download PDF' section at the bottom (sorry but cant help it :p)

I totally agree with that comment, Those sort of power figures in a FWD vehicle do nothing for handling and can only result in plow understeer. You would also loose the advantage of the excellent fuel economy that is possible from the CU2, which for many of us is a major plus.

Don't forget the easy $60k+ price tag for a V6 CU2 on the road, going on their current pricing.
Soooooooo many better cars out there for that price.

That is the best thing about my CU2. I got a whole lot of car for $35k. How many cars come close to the features of the base model for the price?

agreed :thumbsup:

Even @ 60K a CU2 luxury with full body kit, F & R bumpers & a nice set of 19" wheels would be hard to beat

There is nothing wrong with choice. Honda could increase market share if they sell both the 2.4L and the 3.5L in OZ.

I've not owned a car with more than 4 cylinders. I would be interested in a V6 Euro as I feel I won't be able to justify a V6 in 5 years time and I would like to sample a dose of grunt.

I was really hoping there will be a 3.5 v6 in the 2nd gen euro..

Article in the carsguide today stated honda have a solution to the pinging problem. It sounded like an update to the ECU software

And here's the article: http://carsguide.news.com.au/site/ne...m_being_fixed/

The article states that there's only 60 cars maximum that are affected in OZ and that there are only a handful in the USA.

What a load of cods-wallop! I think that all CU2's are affected; in many cases the owners don't know it and so haven't reported it.

Question to Type R positive, are you effected by this so called pinging problem? It seems a certain member on this forum believes all CU2's are effected. I don't believe that is the case, whats your opinion?
