| One of my concerns is the sheet metal. I really like Avalons, and this seems like the Avalon plus the 4WD and cargo versatility that I've been looking for, but it looks like one very flat side panel on the doors with no moldings just like the Avalon which tends to be criticized for its vulnerability to dents. | |

John, just to give you a heads up. It's against Edmund's rules to solicit business in these forums. |

Replying to: md_outback (Nov 29, 2008 7:42 am) The advantage of having the actual pressure for each tire displayed is that you don't have to check each tire to figure out why the low pressure light is on. If one tire is totally flat, then its obvious. If a tire is just "low," it's harder to tell. Plus, at least on the 4Runner, the full size spare also has a pressure transmitter (in my case, it was the spare that was low). I doubt you will find a fully loaded MKX for $33K - that's probably a stripped vehicle that would be hard to come by on a dealer's lot. The ad I saw showed an MSRP of $40K for the MKX. It looks like that would be a 2WD with the Ultimate Package. The MKX is fairly loaded, even without any options (MSRP is $37K for the FWD) so even a "stripped" MKX would be comparable (in equipment) to a mid-range Venza. One important note is that it looks like these offers are on the 2008 MKX, not the 2009. Right now the comparisons (for pricing) to the Venza are going to be tough -- until inventory begins to arrive in volume, dealers are going to maximize their return on the few Venzas they receive as long as there is demand. Nothing wrong with that. Same thing happened with the first of the 2nd Gen Highlanders and the Acura MDX -- for whatever reason, there were incredible deals on the latter (and tight inventories on the former). |

I test drove a V6 Premium package #2 w/ Nav yesterday. I was impressed by the refinement and feel of the interior. However, I was disappointed by the lack of bolstering of the seats. Even my mom's '01 4Runner has better seats. The acceleration was impressive, but with some hesitation by the transmission. The cargo definitely looked the 3 cubic ft smaller than my 07 RAV4 but the 13 speaker stereo system and NAV system rocked. It handled very well, thanks to the 20 inch, 50 series tires. It was not quite as quiet as I had hoped on the highway. I still may end up spending the extra $ for the RX-350. Still deciding if I should wait until the 2010 comes out in Feb.

Replying to: mayqswet (Nov 29, 2008 7:58 pm) I prefer to have TPMS displayed for each tire. You can save a lot of time having to manually check the pressure not only because they are 20% lower and it warns you, but simply just 3 psi lower (say from 32 to 29). Can you program the destination in the NAV while the car is moving?
