Unfortunately Toyota Europe is obsessed with low emissions cars. the Aurion doesn't fit in with this, also there's the danger of it stealing sales from Lexus models. There are a huge number of Toyota models (96 at the moment I think) on sale in Japan, we only get a handful of these for Europe, the costs for homolgomating a Japanese model in line with European standards is huge, so they only do this with large volume sellers :(

would be great if they did though, it would make my job a whole load more interesting :)

A 327bhp front wheel drive high powered Camry based car may be a bit of a handful for most taxi drivers!

Don't let any taxi drivers hear you saying that - best drivers in the world I swear :wink:
