but this would not be the only reason would it? AFAIC, folks that do things like blutoy and get into 'power shows' out on public roads, need to have that electronic nannie do something for them quick and painlessly! The Avalon may be many things, but one thing it is not - is even a 120mph cruiser. If you really want that, move to Germany where the roads and many of the cars are designed for such things.

Your a wise old captain. I knew you would catch on when I said I did 170mph. Sorry just stirring the pot, but I did get up to 85 mph. one time. I thought the paint would come off.

'thought the paint would come off' - sounds like you need an alignment. It is a difficult car to keep below 85, it gets there so quickly and easily. Have pushed it into 3 digits maybe twice in 2 years, and at 110 it is still pulling and solid as a rock. 138 though, never.

I installed a backup camera[license plate frame located] and installed a electronic box in the trunk to bypas the navigation operation and display the backup camera picture, during driving in reverse. It has 135 degrees view. Adjusting the focus and color was a little tough. Has good picture at night.
This navigation change has not interferred with the unit. I still contend the navigation directions at given areas is way off.

Our steering column was due in on February 5th but it has been postponed another full month. The noise had worsened considerably so the dealership has provided a rental (07 Avalon)at Toyota's expense. Although not particularly happy about it we do feel we have a great dealership here in Coon Rapids, MN and they have been superb in addressing our service needs. 3 months for a part is a major issue and in all the vehicles I have owned this is a first for me.

Backup Camera

I do not have the navigation, I had heard it had problems prior to my purchase. Two questions, the layout of the license plate concerned me. There is not much protection for the camera and I was going to add bumper pads to protect it as most of my parking is on the town street when shopping. This box does what, overides only the nav, how does it allow the pictures to be displayed as most units have their own screen and are sent wireless. BJ's had a unit for around $100, which was actually cheap compared to other sources. Any info you can add would be appreciated.

I have been warned by several people that Toyota is discontinuing the Avalon after the 2007 model. I want to nail this down as to whether true or not. Don't want to buy the last year of a model. Anyone have real info on this?

I have an 06 Avalon with transmission hesitation and other isues. I haven't heard anything about discontinuing after 07. I think it presently is so inundated with problem's, that would be the simplest thing for Toyota to do. Incidentally, I have turned my problem over to a lawyer since Toyota has been so pious and can care less.Also I have a 1994 Toyota truck that has been a jewel...soooo, you can see I'm not just a complainer,the issues I presented to Toyota are real and dangerous, Toyota knows it and so do hundreds of owners. Come on folk's get the complaints rolling in the right direction.
