Get over yourself hulk.

Do you realise how you sound with your repetitive comments on how quick the Aurion is on a FORD forum?

Yes, we get it, the Aurion is quick, not 5 sec 0-100 kph quick though. To many true automotive enthusiasts though, it is about the whole driving experience, not just 0-100 kph times and I bet you will agree with me on that, am I right or am I right?

I really think it is time for you to move on to the Toyota forum and spruik your beloved Aurion there. If you continue to do so here, it then really proves that you are a troll of the highest order.

Have a nice day and don't let the door hit your you know what on the way out.

No they dont.

It IS about the driving experience.

Because if everyone was after 0-100 and 1/4mile times, we would all be on bikes.

My wittle 250 will beat or if not scare most standard cars off the showroom floor. The time is in my sig. And its 23 years old.

If you really care about fast milestone times, go out and but a motorbike. The price you pay for a Prius can buy a bike (with a handful of change left over) that will beat a Veyron.

But who cares? Really. When your talking the amount of difference between acceleration times, you don't really notice. Especially on the street.

The original image reminds me of the few years I was forced to drive the not so shabby VX Spacks and then the useless VY Spacks company cars. I used to put Ford hats, whatever on the back parcel shelf so I could tell people I was trapped in this thing and advertised what I really wanted to drive. The original guy is just doing the same, only spent more money on a yearly fee for the number plate.
