    What car should I buy to replace my 2017 Toyota Aurion?

    ...

    I have a 2017 Toyota Aurion which is a good car but with terribly uncomfortable front seats. I’m looking for something a bit larger and more comfortable/luxurious but not as expensive as a Lexus. Will Toyota Australia bring out the Crown? Is this safe to buy as a grey import? Or could the Avalon make a comeback? PS: I don’t like SUVs!

    It’s unlikely that Toyota Australia would introduce the Crown down under. That car is more or less a Japanese domestic-market vehicle and is considered too narrow for Australian (and North American) tastes. But plenty of Aussies have imported their own Toyota Crowns in recent years and, in fact, there are businesses in many locations devoted to importing these vehicles and selling them here. With that in mind, there’s less risk in buying an imported Crown than in owning some parallel (unofficial) imports because there’s a whole industry out there involved in parts and service for the model.

    Perhaps another way to go would be to have the seats in your car re-padded to better suit your requirements. Maybe even a set of plush seat covers would provide the extra layer of comfort you’re after. If not, test drive the current-model Toyota Camry; it’s very Lexus-like in its refinement and comfort and, thanks to modern packaging, it’s huge inside. The hybrid version is excellent value and if more people test-drove the Camry, we reckon there’d be a few less SUVs sold.
