Replying to: bwia (Apr 17, 2008 10:00 am) If Avy goes AWD only and the gas mileage drops, there will be lots of buyers looking at the competition. How many people really need it for 2 grand or more and less fuel mileage? As an option, OK. But don't put a hump in the rear seat floor on the FWD models. And even more power is available from this engine so why not keep it. And the 6 speed if it works well. As a potential buyer for a 2010, all additional design rumors, spy pics and other comments would be more than welcome...

The Avalon needs to bring back the front BENCH SEAT. They had these in the first and second generation, but not the current 3rd. It is quite nice and different to have a bench seat in the front - making it feel more spacious and open. Secondly, I'd like to see Park Assist Sensors to help with parking and/or a back-up camera standard. These are great safety features, and as to why they are not on this wonderful car so far, it's mind boggling. I know you can buy a Lexus with these, but the Lexus's don't even come close to how wonderful and roomy the Avalon is!! I have a 1995 Avalon and I LOVE IT. Still runs like new!! Way to go Toyota!

Replying to: george5 (Jun 27, 2008 10:29 pm) Now, with gasoline prices expected to reach $7 by the end of the year perhaps Toyota will have to go back to the drawing board to come up with a more fuel efficient Avalon design. No longer can Toyota or any manufacturer continue to build behemoths without significant sales decline. If Toyota insists on keeping the Avalon at its current weight and size it will have to use a more advanced hybrid or even an all electric plug-in. |

Replying to: bwia (Jul 02, 2008 3:40 am) The Avalon is probably the most efficient large car on the market. 30+ Hwy is more than doable at 65 - 70. My weekend travels of about 250 miles 80% hwy / 20% city yielded me 26.5 MPG and that was with the air on/ 80+ MPH and 95 degrees outside. Not too bad IMO. |

Replying to: bwia (Jul 02, 2008 3:40 am) If Toyota wants to bring something back for 2010, how about "visibility" so you see out better. More glass. And a back up camera, standard with Nav. Never thought about a return to the bench seat option, but that could be a winner......

Replying to: fin (Jul 02, 2008 5:54 am) Actually.... I don't think anyone has yet. The Avalon is now almost 4 years old and still at the top of the class. As for the bench seat don't see it returning anytime soon. My dealer told me that even on the prior generation they would never order the bench seat option. IMO bench seating is dead, the only cars I can even think of that still have it available are the Grand Marquis/CV/TC, the Lucerne and maybe the Impala. If they want to do anything to the seating in the Avalon make the seats more like the '00 - '04 they were fantastic.
