Edmunds.com thinks 300 is better

Cons: Not as much fun to drive as a Chrysler 300, stability control can only be had on top-rung models.

Yeah and they tested against the 300 Touring, which has the 3.5L V6.

The 300 may win the awards now, but the Avalon will still be running like new long after the 300's are dead hulking shadows at the roadside, mortally wounded by shredded transmissions and short-circuited burned out electronics...
I know, I've owned Chryslers before and I WAS at the side of the road...

As far as looks it's the Avalon. The 300 looks like a theme car. It's more like a novelty look. The Avalon is more well defined. The 300 is tank like and you see them everywhere. I have 5175 miles on mine and have seen 7 other Avalons although it seems to be more of them lately.

My wife has an 03 and we didn't see many either - until we went to Green Valley AZ. Old farts had em everywhere.

You should enjoy the Avalon. I see plenty of them around here. Neither the Avalon nor the 300 is an exclusive car, both mass produced. I have a 300C, love it. Great looks (always a matter of opinion), fun to drive, smooth, powerful. You didn't go wrong with the Toyota though. That was our other choice when we bought the C 2 years ago.
