New Zealand may be the only place in the entire world where Toyota sells:

the Camry

the Aurion

and the Avensis, all right next to each other.

You can also get:

a Land Cruiser Prado

a Fortuner

or even a 70 series Land Cruiser.

As if I didn’t have enough good reasons to move there already. Dammit New Zealand, why do you have to be so perfect...

Good night, Oppo.

cons of living in NZ though: the kiwi accent.

It couldn’t be that bad...could it? It’s better than having to listen to that baboon who calls himself our next president shout at us every day; if he must rule, let him do it from a nicely sound-insulated chamber and not come out for the next four years.

the kiwi accent (south island especially) is awful.

You get used to it, been here 9 years now, and I can’t hear it anymore.

Even found myself doing it bit recently!

Of course, isn’t the Aurion just a higher-end Camry anyway?

Odd that it didn’t get updated to match the Camry, though.

Counterpoint: Kiwi and Aussie accents are cool. Girls with “down under” accents sound hot.

Oh, I like those. Highly amusing. Until you realize he’s serious.

What it is is the JDM Camry.

The “Camry” Camry is our American-built and designed car. Still, you’re right about the lack of a facelift. It should be looking like this by now:

Been there myself before. Wonderful place with very friendly people.

Trust me though, you don’t want that Avensis. xP

In all honesty, I can tell you the Avensis is likely 100x more interesting and better-handling than the bland mushy lump that is the Camry.

Plus it looks better. Especially the old French-designed wagon.

compared to its American contemporary.

Though the Camry at least has some grunt with the V6 (the Avensis can’t even make 200bhp in the top trim). While it does its job and looked nice in earlier gens, I wouldn’t call it ‘100x’ more interesting.

Hey, if it had some torquey diesels I’d still be all for it!

I guess what really gets me about the Avensis is that it isn’t a Japanese car at all. It’s a Franco-British car. Guess what else was Franco-British? The Concorde.

Also, BTCC is already 100x better than NASCAR.

That is true. Guys too, for that matter.

Ok that’s true, Concorde and BTCC are super awesome.

100x more interesting than regular passenger jets and NASCAR, without a doubt.

I’ve been to Wellington. It was beautiful and filled with very lovely people. Though I enjoyed Sydney a bit more, but I did get to explore more of Sydney.
