Only Buick fans here? How about Impala and Charger? To tell the truth, I personally like all the sedans in this forum but the Amanti. I don't find the design appealing at all. As for the 300, I know only the 2.7L fits in this forum and I don't think it has a lot of fans. Unless someone proves me wrong. Captain2 and Buzz123, what are your favorite American made and why? Question open to all.

There is an article that compares the Honda Accord V6, Toyota Camry, Hyundai Azera, and Buick Lucerne because all are in the same price range. Can anyone guess how the order turned out? Like if it's anything new. |

Replying to: imidazol97 (Jul 27, 2006 6:17 pm) No the 05, 06 Avalon was a complete redesign. The earlier Avalons were on a stretched Camry frame. You cannot compare the 3800 V6 to the Avalon V6 not even close. It is a good engine, can't knock that. But coming in at only 197 HP and still getting less MPG than the competitors puts the car at a disadvantage.

Anything that starts with something else and 'stretches' it is not a redesigned from ground up. It's based on the Camry platform which has been stretched.

Replying to: imidazol97 (Jul 28, 2006 3:27 am) This was taken from a popular auto magazine's website. The 05 Avalon was a new design. Yes, now it shares its platform with the Camry as it always did. My point is that it is new, not recycled.

Replying to: tjc78 (Jul 28, 2006 3:57 am)  It's the Camry chassis stretched. Says it right there without the spin. http://www.edmunds.com/apps/vdpcontainers/do/vdp/articleId=105147/pageNumber=5 Paragraph #3. |
