And if that's not enough, they try to make people believe they are too good for V8 Supercars, AND they ripped off the names of their sports Aurion models from Ford. ZR6 WTF.

The Aurion isn't an F1 car. It's a stupid Camry wearing a mask.

- They advertised it as a "new direction in aussie sixes" not a "traditional aussie 6".
- The Camry 6 didnt fail, they have sold heaps, i see them everywhere.
- Toyota do gain engineering knowledge from their F1 investment. Their claim is that their motorsport engineers had input into the 3.5 litre V6 inreasing the airflow to the cylinders. Also the underbody of the aurion has been designed to reduce drag.
- The ZR badge has been used by toyota for a while and hasnt been ripped off Ford.

Toyota doesnt owe Ford and Holden anything.
Dont hate the player hate the game. Their marketing department hasnt done anything more devious than is usually expected of a car company
