Shush, can you hear that noise? Toyota’s local flagship, the Aurion, has long been known for its silence and the latest model is quieter still, by about 10 per cent.
Of course detecting the difference on the road is subjective, but there is no doubt the Aurion is a serene carriage. Comparisons with its premium partner Lexus are valid.
VALUE
The price has been capped at $50,000. Prices start at $36,490 for the AT-X (up $500), then comes the Prodigy at $41,490 (unchanged), the Presara at $49,990 (unchanged), the Sportivo SX6 at $40,990 (unchanged) and the Sportivo ZR6 at $47,990 (up $4500 to cover equipment similar to the Presara).
This more muted Aurion is well packaged for the price and has an impressive list of safety features, plenty of power and a smooth six-speed automatic transmission.
Additional features on the AT-X include a driver’s knee airbag, dual-zone climate control, reversing camera, audio display, a split rear seat and a full-sized alloy spare wheel. The Presara adds blind-spot monitoring, automatic high-beam switching and a JBL digital audio.
TECHNOLOGY
Output from the 3.5-litre V6 engine is unchanged at 200kW and 336Nm, but a taller final drive accompanies the six-speed sequential-shift automatic transmission. This improves fuel efficiency by 6 per cent to 9.3 litres/100k on the combine cycle, and exhaust emissions are down by 8 per cent.
DESIGN
But it is up against the shift away from large cars and, on the road, still needs a second glance to pick it from a Camry. Toyota argues it is not simply a V6 version of the Camry, although both share the same platform and cabin and, apart from the grille and bumpers, have similar styling.
Rear seat comfort gets a boost with new cushions and seat backs and more head and legroom. Fit and finish are impressive with quality seat trim and a stitched leather look on the dash.
The dash layout is clean and clear with large and legible main dials, logical steering wheel buttons and a 1990s cruise control stalk that remains a lesson in simplicity and finger-tip touch. Small but effective changes include a lower load lip for the boot, more storage in the centre console and a 60:40 split folding rear seat back rest now on all models.
DRIVING
Inside the Aurion feels more comfortable and secure and although still short of an enthusiast’s choice, it is more involving to drive with an improved driving position, tighter and more confident handling and better steering and brake pedal feedback.
The front seats are taller and wider, with more back and lower body support, the steering column has a more natural angle and the relationship between the driver’s seat and the accelerator has improved.
The engine is punchy, silky smooth and quiet with just enough exhaust note filtering through to reflect its V6 status. And it is complemented by the seamless and intuitive six-speed automatic. However the inherent tug of 200kW driving the front wheels remains as does the irksome foot-operated parking brake remains.
VERDICT
Lighter and slightly larger, but with a similar silhouette to its predecessor, the focus in the 2012 Aurion is on improving comfort and interior space, reducing fuel use, refining the ride, sharpening the handling and fine-tuning the steering and brakes.
The new Maserati GranTurismo Convertible provides driving pleasure, versatility and exclusivity in line with the current Maserati product range. Being the first soft top convertible developed and built in Modena, the Convertible is the only cabriolet in its class to comfortably seat four adults in a uniquely designed cabin conveying style and luxury.
Designed by Pininfarina, the GranTurismo Convertible takes inspiration from the Coupe version, an example of modernity, elegance and performance. It is characterized by its soft-top roof which opens and closes in 24 seconds and continues the company’s history of superior design of over 90 years.
When closed, the roof follows the original outlines of the Granbric, with a hood that has the same V-shaped, forward-slanting design and the dashing looks of the stunning Maserati coupé. Once open, the new Maserati Convertible is turned into a remarkable cabriolet, accentuated by the low ground clearance and long hood design.
The car shape is the result of extensive aerodynamic testing that aimed in limiting the drag typical of cabriolet vehicles. The car boasts one of the best a Coefficient of drag in its class: 0.35 with the hood up and 0.39 with it down. The spoiler and rear diffuser also contribute to obtain top performance levels up to a top speed of 173 mph.
The rear of the GranTurismo Convertible is characterized by triangular light units formed by 96 LEDs with wide diffuser which further underline the car’s athletic poise. The sporty feeling is also conveyed by the large, 20″ alloy wheels that reflect the legendary Birdcage racing design of the 1950′s, when the first lightweight space-frame chassis were produced.
The interior space is significantly larger than other competitors in its class and ensures the maximum comfort to all four passengers, including the ones sited in the rear. The inside central tunnel distributes the occupants’ space along the car’s length whether the dashboard upper section features the distinctive “V” shape.
The interior employs only the finest materials: leather by Poltrona Frau®, a selection of prestigious wood trim for the dashboard, rear areas and door panel, Alcantara sections on the back of the steering wheel. The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail can also be seen in the chrome rings that enhance the dashboard switches and steering wheel. The canvas roof is made up of three layers to ensure quietness and acoustic isolation.
The vehicle air conditioning system has been further redefined to offer maximum comfort either when the top is up or down. The system recognizes how the Maserati is being driven, and automatically resets climate control to help maintain the set temperature.

2012 Honda Civic Natural Gas
Honda released the bulk of its 2012 Civic range this spring, but one model lagged behind: the Civic Natural Gas, the all-new version of what had been called the Civic GX.
As the new name indicates, the 2012 Honda Civic Natural Gas runs solely on compressed natural gas. It’s the only natural-gas passenger car currently on sale in the U.S. from a major manufacturer.
Now, Honda has priced the 2012 Civic Natural Gas at $26,155 for the base model, and $27,655 for the model with a navigation system. Total sticker cost will add to those prices a mandatory $750 destination fee on both models.
The total sticker price of $26,905 is roughly $1,000 higher than the $25,860 price of the equivalent 2009 Civic GX model.
The 1.8-liter engine in the Civic Natural Gas has been modified to run on natural gas, and is paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. The fuel occupies a cylindrical tank that takes up about two-thirds of the sedan’s trunk space.
As we learned during our road test of an earlier Civic GX, from behind the wheel, drivers simply won’t know that they’re not running on gasoline–until they go to refuel, anyhow, since they have to do that every 150 to 170 miles.
The natural-gas Civic model qualifies for a special sticker in California that will let it travel in High-Occupancy Vehicle lanes with only a single occupant, a privilege that recently ended for 85,000 owners of three different hybrids (including earlier Civic Hybrid models).
The EPA has certified the Civic Natural Gas as the cleanest vehicle with an internal-combustion engine it tested for the 2012 model year.
While Honda and the EPA release “gas mileage” figures for the Civic Natural Gas, they are based on a calculated “equivalent MPG” measure. The more important figure for drivers–beyond that HOV-lane sticker for Californians–is that fueling on natural gas costs about one-third less per mile than burning gasoline.
To get the nod to sell natural-gas cars, dealers must be able to service the fueling system, and there must be adequate natural-gas fueling stations in their state or region. Sales of the Civic GX had been restricted to California, Oklahoma, New York, and Utah.
The 2012 Honda Civic Natural Gas will go on sale at roughly 200 qualified Honda dealers in 38 states on October 18.
The latest generation ‘991’ series Porsche 911 has already been revealed, but so far only the base Carrera models.
The one we’re most interested in is the legendary 911 Turbo, which should arrive roughly one year after the new 911 range makes its debut, coming once again in both coupe and convertible bodystyles.
While prototypes for the new 911 Turbo hard-top have been spotted for more than a year now, this is the first time that we’re seeing a prototype for the 911 Turbo Cabriolet.
Expected to be launched late next year alongside its hard-top sibling, the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet should come onto the market as a 2013 model complete with a twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, wide rear haunches, additional cooling vents all around, and a new active rear spoiler.
Expect output from the engine to rise slightly above the 530 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque of the current Turbo S model, though emissions and fuel consumption should be lower.
An uprated ‘PDK-S’ dual clutch transmission may also feature. This new ‘box is expected to debut in the next-generation 911 GT3 though we may see it earlier in the new 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo Cabriolet. A conventional manual will still be offered but according to recent reports it will feature seven forward gears instead of the usual six.
The regular 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera Cabriolet are scheduled to debut at this September’s 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, putting the 911 Turbo’s debut most likely at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show next March.
We’ve caught an almost completely undisguised prototype for the facelifted 2012 Bentley Continental GT Speed, which is expected to be unveiled for the first time next month at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show.
Incorporating most of the changes implemented for the facelifted 2011 Bentley Continental GT range, this GT Speed model gets a few extras to make it worthy of its namesake.
First and foremost is the aggressive front bumper, which gets a trio of gaping intakes to feed air to the familiar W-12 engine found in the entire Continental GT lineup.
Peak output from the twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter engine should be lifted beyond the current GT Speed’s 600 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque limit, with drive going to all four wheels via a ZF six-speed unit. Shift speed should be quicker than the outgoing model, however, thanks to a Quickshift function that allows double downshifts.
Bentley engineers are also expected to have refined the drivetrain, reduced overall vehicle weight and increased rigidity, all while keeping the exterior proportions much the same as the outgoing model.
Performance numbers should come in at around 4.2 seconds for the 0-60 mph run and a top speed in excess of 195 mph.
As mentioned, look out for the debut of the facelifted 2012 Bentley Continental GT Speed at next month’s 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, with first sales to start towards the end of the year.
