It might be quick, but it has no "street" appeal - at least to the wider community (and clearly to many on here).

So I hope that you enjoy sitting at the lights with nobody to prove how quick it is...

id rather drive a wolf in sheeps clothing than a sheep in wolfs clothing like most of those older V8s waiting at the lights.. lol

Aurion is not a bad car for a boring runabout.
I had a rental one and I was suprised how fast it was. Another day I had a NA XR6 rental. It may have not been as fast, I don't know I didn't compare the two, but I enjoyed driving the XR6 a lot more

I've hired an Aurion before. It was ok, but nothing to write home about. Poor turning circle though. They are a good car, but the flog fest that goes on here about them is stupid and no doubt is drummed up for troll factor.

And in a few years time 2015 Aurions will be stacked ten deep at the tip .. But people will still be throwing out big money to buy old V8s.
