Ok, I'm with you there, so what is it that you'd like to see the new Avalon look like, be like, have or not have? So if they change it enough, and make it more money (still less then a Lexus), it will still sell, and THEN, maybe the New Larger Camry (the replacement for the Avalon) will sell enough, that they will drop the Avalon all together. Sounds silly, and if this was an American company, I would stick to my thoughts here, but for Toyota, it is a stretch. Now I agree, but don't like it, they will likely drop the Avalon, ONLY because it has been around long enough, and they won't likely get the sells from it that they WILL from a newly re-designed and named Avalon ("What's your choice for the new name?) I'm just stating my thoughts … what are yours? Skip |

"Toyota GS-350". I have to ask the question a 2nd time. Why would I want to buy an Avalon replacement that cost $10K more and gets 10% less mileage?

Replying to: wwest (Dec 10, 2008 11:50 pm) http://www.toyota.com/concept-vehicles/crown.html I am holding on to my XLS 2000 anxiously awaiting the 2009 replacement to see if I want to stay with the Avalon or go elsewhere. Have received excellent service from the 2000 and looking for about the same type car to replace in a 2010. I am also considering a Lexus but like the extra interior room in the Avalon. Of course, the 460 Lexus is available, but that is more than I want to spend. So the bottom line is, I am hoping and waiting for a new version Avalon with luxury, intenior room, dependability, and new style with quality body side molding. Thanks, George

Replying to: popsavalon (Dec 11, 2008 7:34 am) What is the price, ratio, for/between a stripped down Camry vs a bottom priced Lexus ES350..?? While I have doubts about a Toyota "GS350" ever getting fitted with a 4 cylinder it is clearly a possibility. A RWD (maybe even a R/AWD option) with an Atkinson/West cycle (***) DFI 4 cylinder engine mated with a 6 (9) speed automatic just might take the market by storm. *** HIGHLY FE Atkinson cycle (low torque, relatively) mode ONLY when the lockup clutch is engaged. Or maybe even at WOT when the cylinders are getting a FULL charge and therefore the Atkinson cycle mode will produce a decent level of torque AND still be highly FE. |

Replying to: ncee (Dec 10, 2008 3:20 am) Earlier post: - Side Coin tray - Better roof liner (seems so cheap when sliding out of the way) New: - Side lights for when you are turning and have the blinker on. - Fan Speed control on steering wheel. If you are trying to make it convenient then it's one of the only controls not on the wheel. Skip |

Hi folks. This might be hard to answer unless you've had both or tried both out well, but is there a difference in the ride between the Touring model (which is no longer made) and the Limited Avalon, and if so, what is the difference? On a scale of 1-10 softer or harder? On a scale of 1-10 more comfortable or less or can't tell the difference? Are the extras worth it? - Navigation system? - Seats? - Radio? Skip |

The Touring model is history, no longer being offered by Toyota. A more firm ride compared to the Limited, not unlike the Touring model of my last Buick Park Avenue. The GS350 provides a similar feel as the Toyota Avalon Touring. A bit more sporty. My 2005 Avalon with 60,000 miles continues to amaze me with its fine smooth, quiet ride. If you want to compare an Avalon Limited to a Lexus sedan, the ES350 is to small, the GS to firm. The LS460 comes closest to the Avy. Now I'm talking size and feel on the road. As to price, the Limited stacks up against the ES350. If you're into a sporty ride stay with the Lexus GS, however, it cost much more than a Limited. The LS is totally above my budget. For what I want in a solid near luxury level vehicle, the Avalon Limited is number one. |

The one thing I'd love to have is a quiet car. I purchased a Touring Sedan a few weeks ago, and LOVE the car. I just wish at 7- 80 MPH, it was quieter. The wind noise around the windows is a bit more then I'd like. This is the case, with most cars I tried. At slower speeds the all seems fine. I guess I'll just have to drive slower (closer to the speed limited) from now on. I didn't get a change to try the Buick Enclave out, but I'm told it's the quietest vehicle going? Skip
