Drove one of these on the weekend (same colour even) It's basically a Corolla/Auris with the V6 from a Camry/Aurion in the front and a bunch of luxury kit. Now I wasn't exactly expecting much out of that combination but it still managed to surprise me in just how badly it works in practice - the car lurches around on it's suspension in a completely uncontrollable fashion. Its bad enough even driving sedately let alone of you actually try an use any of that power. Quite annoying really as I really like a lot of things about the car - probably has the best interior of any small car I've been in.

The regular, non-master spec blade is way better. 2.4 camry banger and a manual trans and it doesn't handle like a sack of poo poo.

It looks like a potato in that color, and it doesn't sound like it handles much better than one too.

Modern toyotas don't handle. They just sort of wallow and squirm at random until the ESC steps in and sorts things out. I seriously think that that's how they're designed; gently caress handling, we have electronics, lets just make the damping and springing as soft as possible for all the geriatrics.

Sure, but I was expecting Aurion levels of sloppiness and that Blade was something else, something much worse. Certainly made my worn out V35 Skyline seem like a comparative racecar

Yeah nissan definitely seem to still give a poo poo about making the cars go around corners by comparison. The latest maximas are razor sharp.

After Toyota killer firmware fiasco I will never buy one again. That thing isn't helping their case either.

I don't see the problem, crumple zones are an integral design feature of modern cars. That baby in the back seat is probably fine!

I still can't believe the Kia Amanti was sold only 5 years ago. The amazing turnaround in every way by Hyundai/Kia is staggering.

What am I supposed to be seeing here, other than 3 red cars that look nothing alike and span roughly a decade of design?
