Toyota

Toyota

Has been slowly taking over the world for years and, without anybody really noticing, is now the biggest car maker in the known universe (since the Uranus Motor Corporation went bust). Could buy GM with its pocket money but still can’t build anything remotely exciting.

 

  • Aurion

    Aurion

    $34,990 - $49,990

    Yet another in Toyota's line of safe, reliable, high-quality yet painfully-boring cars. The Aurion will last for a million years, not that you'll care, you'll have died of boredom well before that.

  • Toyota Avensis

    Avensis

    $13,750 - $22,257

    Even if you’re new, spangly and actually rather terrific it’s tricky to get noticed in the rep market. So, where does that leave the old and distinctly unterrific Avensis? 

     

  • Camry

    Camry

    $28,490 - $39,990

    The Camry is probably the safest car option in Australia. Not very exciting but safe, reliable and cheap.

    Besides, not everyone actually wants to enjoy their driving experience, do they?

  • Hilux

    $17,990 - $52,430

  • Kluger

    $39,990 - $65,439

  • Toyota Land Cruiser

    Land Cruiser

    $26,632 - $58,090

    Forget Land Rover, this is the vehicle worshipped in the world’s most hostile and unforgiving environments. But, as Toorak isn’t one of these, do you need one?

     

  • Toyota Land Cruiser V8

    Land Cruiser Amazon

    $49,057

    Probably the car that gave Red Ken more sleepless nights than anything, and you’ve got to love it for that. Utterly bulletproof luxo-truck. Peace of mind, Baghdad style.

  • Prado

    Landcruiser Prado

    $45,100 - $78,087

    The long-running staple of Toyota's 4WD range. You know exactly what you're getting, which is both a good and a bad thing. About exciting as a bowl of cold porridge.

  • Toyota Prius

    Prius

    $37,400 - $46,900

    Brilliant opportunism by Toyota established the Prius as The Answer to the planet’s problems. It isn’t, and sadly a quite clever car got lost in the political shitstorm. 

  • Toyota RAV4

    RAV4

    $31,990 - $49,990

    Toyota invented the modern soft-roader with the first RAV4. The new one is a fine SUV but its trail-blazing days are over. There’s not even a three-door. What a shame. 

  • Toyota Yaris

    Yaris

    $15,190 - $22,440

    Usually small people compensate in some way – either with a big personality, noisy hair or a nuclear temper. The Yaris is small. And quite good. Anyone fancy a pint?
