Oh, and the Citroen C6 was an interesting looking car, verdict's still out on that one for me...


Forgot to look at the RR Phantom LWB, spewin'!


Here's a little video by drive.com.au of the event, mainly covering dull and boring cars noone wants to hear about...

Oh really? How would you rate it against the ML? I hope they have it at the Brisbane show in 2 weeks. Too many times they've had cars at Melbourne that dont bother showing up at Brisbane?

Oh yeah I've seen the Aurion being trucked about up here. It is very boring, but at least not as butt ugly as the Avalon.
