Talk:Toyota Aurion (XV40)

message: Currently, this page has a number of photos of the Toyota Aurion. However, they are all of the Sportivo SX6 (except the Aurion AT-X uploaded by someone else) and aren't very high quality. I know because I took them in a rush last year before leaving the motor show. They also have the door open, and I don't have any pictures of the normal non-sport designs nor do I have any interior photos.
Does anyone have any photos of say an Aurion Presara/Prodigy? Also does anyone have any photos of the interior of any Aurion.
I could get them, but it's not the easiest task out there. I'm 16 years old, and I'm sure a car dealership won't be terribly pleased to hear someone not interested in buying their car, especially a 16 year old, taking photos of it.
P.S. Now that the TRD Aurion is out, I think photos of that are needed as well, I don't think the Sports Concept photo cuts it anymore now the real deal is actually out. It changed in quite a few places in exterior design before becoming a production vehicle (such as the black grille surround area and the wheel design). Alphabeta777 14:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In time more photos will be put on the Aurion article, but finding pictures for the TRD Aurion is going to be very hard due to the rarity of the car.SenatorsTalk | Contribs 23:34, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  To be honest, I doubt the car dealers would really care. If you told them that you were going to include them in the Wikipedia Toyota Aurion article, for what reason would they get annoyed? I cannot see why the salespeople at Toyota are going to get annoyed if you are promoting the vehicle that they are trying to sell. When I went to my local Holden dealership to take pictures of various Holden models, the salespeople there even offered me back issues of Wheels magazines and brochures of every model. I would hardly say that those are the sign of someone "getting annoyed," would you? Regards OSX (talk • contributions) 08:52, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  new images are on the way. I'll have them up by next week. Basic profile shots and some close ups. I'm not affiliated with Toyota but own an Aurion and really like to share what I like about it. Capital photographer (talk) 09:35, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I reverted the infobox image back to a more focused one adapted from mine by another user. However, I only did so on a proviso that it remain 300px wide, otherwise it looks too small. Capital photographer (talk) 07:17, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  New images are up. enjoy, feedback welcome. The images look vibrant but I would like to note that the appearance of the car is unaltered. Good morning light, a nice backdrop and a good camera produce fine results along with some editing of the background! Capital photographer (talk) 13:39, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  More photos of Aurion? 

message: Does anyone think that the specification section has enough information? I am trying to compare it to a similar car article called the Ford BA Falcon which is a Good Article.SenatorsTalk | Contribs 00:23, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  more info in specification section? 

message: I reviewed the article and found it to be very interesting. There was only one thing I was a little confused about. In the lead section, it says "...alongside the Aurion in the Middle East and Australasia, that being Australia and New Zealand." The last clause seems that it was not connected properly to the rest of the sentence. Since I am not sure what the sentence is trying to say, I cannot fix it myself. Other than that flaw, the only other problem is that a lot of the article is composed of jargon describing engine types, etc. (No, I do not mean when the article says 4-cylinder 4.5 liter engine), but that cannot be helped since, obviously, this is an article about a car. All I think that should be done is fixing that sentence in the lead section. Then it would be OK. Parent5446(Murder me for my actions) 22:42, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  The 4.5 litre 4-cylinder engine sounds very interesting. I don't think such a displacement has ever been used in a four-cylinder engine. Anyway, thanks for the review. Cheers OSX (talk • contributions) 23:52, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Never mind, I figured out that the last clause is defining Australasia as being Australia and New Zealand. Please fix the sentence so it states it a bit clearer. Parent5446(Murder me for my actions) 22:43, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Okay, I fixed the flaw myself. I think that this article poses a very intriguing view on this car and that it clearly qualifies to be a GA, since it is nicely put together, is referenced a lot (with very reliable sources), and covers the topic nicely.

thread_title:  GA Review 

message: Firstly, I move that a gallery of three images showing front, rear and side profiles of the vehicle remain. Along with the more details images integrated in the article, the result is a logical and neat layout with the right balance of text and images.
Regarding the Aurion and export to Asia under the Camry nameplate, I move that the export variant be restricted to an image and text in the Export section and that more detailed information about the camry be put in the camry article. The majority of this article should be for vehicles with the Aurion nameplate. The Asian camrys have different engines and options to the actual Aurion and are outside the scope of this article.
