Buying a brand spanking new car... Aurion or FG-X?

[Dave_Obsession]

Haha ok last one

[MAGPIE]

I wouldn't be seen dead in a Aurion or a XT FGX, imagine the shame, my mates would all laugh at me, my family wouldn't want to be seen with me. I wouldn't get any kudos in the work car park and I would feel like a complete loser turning up at a bbq in a base model hack.

I'd get 5 sec Camry to enhance my social status

The Aurion air bags are much more comfy.

This paragraph begs the question.... Why?

* You really need a new car.
* You really need to keep up with your circle of 'friends'.
* You really need to post something or suffer withdrawal.
* You're running out of ideas for inane bandwidth wasting threads.

[XG_Falcon]

Yep, sure sounds like you've been spanking something...

[blackf6]

Do they have a fishing rod holder optional? If not steer clear.

The only thing this got me thinking about is what does Hulk actually look like?

Go the Aurion...

it would dispatch any N/A V8 ford has ever produced... (stock)

Aurion 0-100km/h in 5s.... No ford V8 N/A does that (stock)

[HULK_I6T]

Its a legit question. Most non ford people would automatically say Aurion but as Im a ford person I consider the FG-X.

Aurion doesnt do 0-100 in 5 seconds, and if it did it would be 5.99

[nstg8a]

I wanna see video proof of this 5 sec aurion

And any n/a ford ever produced? Soooo it'll chop everything from a fg xr8, to a mustang to a t3 to a gt?

[buggerlugs]

Seriously Mods, how many times do you let this go ? It is getting beyond a joke........

Just wait he has video proof of his mates mates mate of a mate aurion doing 0-95 to shut everyone up with

[BradEL]

As soon as I saw the thread title I just knew beyond doubt who the OP was

[Sam_Boss260]

Maybe we should start boycotting Hulk's threads? No airplay means that no more new threads.

I have a conspiracy theory that Hulk is actually one of the Mods' alter ego's, and they just do this to gee us up and get us to post and keep checking back.

Has anybody ever actually met Hulk?

I've narrowed my decision to a brand new Toyota Aurion or a FG-X falcon XT. (I'm still keeping my other cars mind you)

To save a few bucks I could even go Camry..

Which is the best of these cars?

Just to make your decision easier between Aurion and FG X XT...

The XT does not exist in the FG X range.

So surely the Aurion is the answer to your question, by process of elimination.

End of thread.

[STINKY NINJA]

The obvious winner would be a mint sigma wagon with 40 grand spent on it,cant go past a 4 speed manual 2.4 astron donk,that thing would pull the skin clean off a stale rice pudding,come on,am i right here or what???

[PHANTMXR6]

Ford dropped the XT model form the FG X range and jsut call it Falcon now.
Odd...

That is gold! 24k right there.

[Mowdit]

When I saw this thread, and that Hulk initiated it I just had to look

True to form it an outright

Where would we be without the very "light" humour

If Hulk bought a Prius there would be a thread on mods to get it 0-100 in 5.99 sec

Makes my day (twice this year now !)

Nice Hulk, now go buy something and post pics pls

I'm with him.

I only really post in the pits anymore, generally because this section is so full of Hulk's garbage.

If he's genuine (I mean he's obviously not, ever), why can't we give him a month to buy either a brand new Aurion of FGX. But if he doesn't, why shouldn't he be banned for trolling week after week? For example, his unproven and obviously trolling V8 comment is purely to generate angry rebuttals.

Hulk, you're turning me off these forums, and I assume many others who just cbf justifying your threads by posting in the manner I have.

I think someone's a little butthurt because they don't have a V8 anymore.

[SensationFG8]

Hulk, I think I echo everyone here when I say please get the Aurion, please post us some pictures of it and please turn up to the next drags.

By the way a NA Lotus Evora does a 4.8 to 100 using effectively the same engine as the Aurion (just a bit more power), it also weighs 200kg+ less...

All the timings I can find for the Aurion range anywhere from mid 6 to low 7 seconds...
