Replying to: carlupi (Aug 09, 2009 8:51 am) Not correct. The Touring uses the exact same size of tire found on the XLS and Limited models (all 17" Rims). The XL rides on 16" however, there are suspension differences in the touring model. Much firmer than the Xl/XLS/Limited. |

Replying to: ntassistant (Aug 09, 2009 3:13 pm) The main thing to change is the Navigation. Because, it so difficult to enter new address, I practically never use it. I would also appreciated to have a steering wheel automatic adjustment. Parking cameras would be appreciated as well. For the rest, I have no complaints. |

If Toyota chooses NOT to up-date the Avalon, they will have only themselves to blame for low sales. Yes times are tough (but the tough will survive). Yes sales are low (come out with a new exciting model and that will change)! If the American companies are coming out with new models (the NEW Ford Taurus, WILL be a big seller - not in the same category, but a big seller still.) Toyota right now, is one of, if not the BEST selling cars in America … kick ass with some new exciting models, and stay ahead! I'm SURE that with this tough economy, Toyota needs to be carful they don't up-date the Avalon so much that it becomes expensive, because it WILL then have folks thinking Lexus, which will cause sales to be low, causing them to re-think the Avalon in the future. Hell, Toyota is now the sponsors for many PBS and National Geographic TV shows (ALL of which use to be sponsors by Ford - maybe a sad day in American history? Sorry about the tyrant:) Skip |

While searching on Yahoo, I came across a site that handles fleet management of various motor vehicles. This site has "revised" Toyota build-out and start-up dates of various 2010-2011 models (as of August 5, 2009). According to the information on this site, Toyota plans to release a 2011 Avalon in Febrary & March 2010 (around the same time the current 3rd generation was released back in 2005). Not sure if this Avalon will be the same as the 3rd generation, or completely redesigned. The 2010 will be the 6th consecutive year of this style/generation. It could be that Toyota is now on the 6-year cycle with generations. If this information is in fact true, we MAY have a completely redesigned Avalon on the way in a few months! I am very curious to see if this information is accurate. I will include the link that I found if you'd like to see what it lists: http://www.phharval.com/aboutPHHArval/newsCenter/archives/2009/unitedStates/0805- 09.pdf Sorry, I can't make it available to directly access, but this is the exact site that I found! Definitely check it out!

Replying to: jemanner (Aug 16, 2009 6:52 pm) What would I like to see them change, fix??? - I'd love my coin tray back - I'd love softer more comfortable seats - I'd love AWD - I'd love it to be a bit more quiet on the highway (this is tire noise, as well as wind noise) - I'd love the radio to show the CD name while it's playing. Right now having to push next and wait until it's starts, to know who the CD is, kind-of sucks. - Heck, I'd love this feature for iPod's as well. - I'd love it to have a much better - high quality paint job. My 2008, has a ton of fine line scratches that just piss my off to no end. - I'd love to have more vents for heating and air around the car (and roof, for pointing down the backside of the front seats on a hot day. … ooh, looks like I want a Lexus:) I think some of these things are doable, and would make the Avalon a great car. What would you like to see them do? Skip

Replying to: ncee (Aug 17, 2009 3:41 am) . Make a nav system worth buying . include a dc power plug for the backseat and and extra for the front . include the power seat options on the passenger side as standard instead of option on the limited model . include sat radio receiver as a standard instead of option on the limited . include a little more room for the passenger seat to slide back . include the roll bar on the passenger seat like the driver seat . include an automatic dimmer switch for high beam to low beam . change the instrument panel to better show the speed or move speed to the center of the dashboard . change the day running lites from round to square As for as the sattelite is concerned I use my Iphone for xm radio and playing the ipod. Use the Iphone for getting directions or gps -- why pay 2K when you dont get a lot for it I have the 2009 Limited and trip this past weekend got 31.9 highest mpg and 31.0 overall. That was doing 74mph so computer starting to work great more miles I get. The ride is fantastic - my wife likes to ride in the backseat and instantly falls asleep |
