Replying to: rastaman1 (Feb 02, 2007 5:02 am) Or aleast 3rd party options should be available for us to change to trim. I love cherry wood interior, it gives it the taste of richness.   nick Replies to this message: 55396 (Sep 06, 2007 11:00 am)

Replying to: rastaman1 (Feb 02, 2007 5:02 am) rastaman1... I agree.. like you I personally did not care for the silver/grey color tone either.. Also, I wasn't all that crazy about the "honey" colored wood look that is in alot of the current avalons. I have an 07 xls and it just happened to be the only one on the lot that had the "dark" wood applique on the dash and around the gear shift.. from a personal standpoint that was my favorite.. I wish the gear shift handle and steering wheel had the wood applique, but unfortunetly they are both leather wrapped, which is fine with me.   Roland

Roland and Nick,   I agree, It would be really nice to see Toyota return to the Cherry Wood interior. The Camary and Avalon owners/customers should at least let their preferences known to Toyota.   Toyota is such a major player in the car industry now, with record sales, it really doesn't have to listen to preference of the customer's who would like to see a return to a luxury appearance of havig a Cherrywood interior.

Replying to: rastaman1 (Feb 07, 2007 7:58 am) My question is whether any of the Avalon's trim is really wood? Or is it metal or plastic that has been given the appearance of wood? Some comments here refer to "wood applique". The strips on the dash and doors feel like tin plating to me, and the "wood" on the LTD's steering wheel & gear shift knob feels like it might be a plastic composite. A good enough imitation, but it doesn't seem to me that genuine wood has been used anywhere in the Avalon. True? Replies to this message: captain2 (Feb 08, 2007 2:39 pm)

Replying to: gohawaiian (Feb 07, 2007 2:55 pm) it is plastic 'wood' or FTM plastic 'aluminum' - the Lexus models will kill a few trees.

two suggestions for the 2008 Avalon. I am proud to be driving an 07 Avalon, but I wish it had a radio mute button and folding exterior mirrors. Many Japanese cars do not have a mute button for the sound system, but if there were one on the steering wheel hub, it would be handy. I live in a small city with narrow streets and friends have had their cars mirrors peeled off by careless drivers so the folding type would be great.

Replying to: ernieelsfan (Feb 14, 2007 10:38 am) Just press and hold the volume button on the steering wheel   Replies to this message: tjc78 (Feb 15, 2007 10:51 am) havalongavalon (Feb 15, 2007 8:08 pm)

Replying to: algee (Feb 15, 2007 5:02 am) I am not sure if many people know this but if you hold down the "mode" button on the steering wheel, the stereo will power off. That is what I do if I get a phone call, much faster than waiting for the volume to lower. Replies to this message: havalongavalon (Feb 15, 2007 8:08 pm)
#18 of 639 Needed on 2008 Avalon by tinsoldier Feb 15, 2007 (7:19 pm)
I guess I'm getting really lazy, but I wonder why when I hit the Memory Seat button after my wife has driven my 06 Avalon Limited, I have to reach up and adjust the rear view mirror. Wouldn't it be nice if that mirror too would adjust to my pre-set location? Also, needed is Bluetooth and rear parking assists. Replies to this message: golfnut5 (Jul 31, 2007 3:11 pm)
