2010 Toyota Auris UK details – Hybrid in July

Toyota has updated the Auris for 2010 Back in October we reported on the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) 2010 Toyota Auris which was a pretty good pointer to what the rest of the world would get in the way of updates to the 2010 Toyota Auris.

The center began with projects such as the Tiburon coupé and the Santa Fe off-roader, both being named after American cities.

With all that’s on offer in the current R8 apart from the manual ‘box being the rather poor R-Tronic ‘box, that may seem like a recipe for sales disaster for the R8.
