Zr had been on the Toyota Celica since the mid 90's, its hardly a new ripoff.
The ZR plus the V6 in the Aurion = ZR6 not really rocket science.

Marketing hype, Ford and Holden dont make outlandish PR statements eg the latest Fairmont Ghia and Commodore ad about being European or world beaters.

Quote:
They owe them an apology for lying about 'not being invited to Bathurst' in their TV commercials. They not only lied, but attempted to degrade the image of V8 Supercars.
Mitsubishi has tried to enter and Toyota would if they could, AVESCO, Holden and Ford WILL never allow it, they have stated that many times in the press.
There take on it is they developed the V8 Supertaxis and its theirs only to participate in.


Like the V8's that race actually resemble the road cars Although many motorsport guru's will tell you they are

Its amazing the different demographics at Bathurst when the V8 Supercars race and when the 24 hr production class is was raced there. I know which one I prefer.
