It seems to me that when the Azera comes out dealers will get a lot more aggressive with pricing the Avalon. This late in the season I think if it were me I'd wait if I could, both to just check out the Azera, and to let it do its work on the Avalon price. Plus, gives Toyota a chance to fix the little bug or two that are inevitable with a new model.

| I noticed that there a rubber seal under the hood and above the firewall. It runs the width of the car and seals the engine compartment when the hood is closed. My concern is that it sets in a very shallow channel and had partially come loose. It is not very well secured at all. Seems to me that it should be glued in place. Has anyone else found the same situation? | |

Replying to: prime time (May 02, 2005 3:03 pm) I pasted this from the Toyota website: Maybe someone has already answered your question. "New Exterior Features The Avalon brings several "firsts" to the Toyota lineup. Side mirrors on the Limited grade feature Toyota's first "in-glass" LED turn signal, and a LED puddle lamp that illuminates the area along the side of the car when passengers approach the vehicle. The Limited grade also features side mirror memory." I assume they come on when your key fob gets near the car, or when you unlock the doors. |

Replying to: havalongavalon (Apr 30, 2005 10:30 am) I do think hesitation should be put on the list. Unlike my previous Avalon, I notice considerable pronounced shifting of gears at different speeds: when stopping after a fast speed and starting to move forward again; when changing cruise control to a faster speed going uphill. I haven't a clue of whether these should be considered problems or simply a function of the new higher horsepower engine. pricecutter |

Replying to: havalongavalon (May 02, 2005 4:35 pm) I tried this to no avail. When you copy, are you copying an image or the filename of the image? When you insert after the "Img" button, do you paste in a filename, or somehow insert an actual image? Can the image file be on my computer, or does it have to be on a website, to be accessed via a web address? If so, what website is good for this? None of this seems very obvious. Thanks. Max

Replying to: mackabee (May 02, 2005 1:19 pm) Here is a question for you: If coasting in Neutral could indeed damage the transmission, shouldn't a warning be printed in the Owner's Manual? I saw no such warning. Now a comment, and a more general question for anyone: What I am looking for is a feature that will allow you, when driving on largely ondulated terrain, to save gas by "coasting" down the hills. Remembering physics 101, you expend energy to climb a hill and while climbing you accumulate potential energy that then converts into kinetic energy (motion) as you descend again. But while in Drive, the engine is engaged and this tends to slow down the descent and uses up some gas. I'm thinking of a "free-wheel" feature such as in a bicycle -- when you stop pedaling, you coast freely, and when you start pedaling you re-engage and "drive" the rear wheel again. As I recall, early Saabs designed and made by the Swedish fighter jet manufacturing company had a true "free-wheel"capability. Is such feature available in any car with automatic transmission, nowadays? Thanks again, havalongavalon |
