Replying to: imidazol97 (Feb 20, 2008 1:30 pm) The ES is "based" on Camry The Escalade is "based" on Yukon The G8 is "based" on Commodore The Sierra is "based" on Silverado Get it? No matter what, the RWD Impala would not be "based" on the CTS simply because it's not the right size. |

Replying to: imidazol97 (Feb 20, 2008 1:30 pm) No it isn't. The '05+ Avalon was a complete redesign. Yes it is now shared throughout the line, but was a new platform not the same one dating back to the early 90s Camry.

Let's try to stick to the mainstream large sedans here, please. We have other discusisons for the other cars - I know all of you know where they are located.

Replying to: allmet33 (Feb 20, 2008 11:06 am) I am responding against my better judgment here, but I believe that poster's definition of "uncontrollable" has been identified as the fact that the car hasn't controlled the torque steer, not that the car itself cannot be controlled safely. To all...aren't we stuck in a loop here? |

Replying to: tjc78 (Feb 20, 2008 2:03 pm) Redesigned from the ground up, the Avalon now rides on a stretched version of the current Camry platform." from Edmunds' 5-car comparison tests of full-sized sedans in 2005.

Replying to: imidazol97 (Feb 20, 2008 4:30 pm) This is from Automobile mag. I read the article you mentioned above, it is probably the only article that I have ever read saying the 05+ Av is based on the previous Camry. So either an Edmund's.com reporter is wrong (I've noticed errors before in some of the reviews) or every other site/mag has a different meaning of "all new". Anyway, even if it is the same it must be highly modified as the suspension parts are all completely different and the wheelbase is at least 3" or 4" greater.
