Replying to: houdini1 (Dec 30, 2008 7:32 pm) I've never had TC (I'm originally from South Africa) and heck, I haven't even had ABS before coming to the US. We had to learn all the manual ways of pumping the brake and so forth (which I truly believe makes one a better driver than throwing them in something that "thinks" for you at 16) Anyhow, the 07 XLS I got my grubby paws on has no TC, I've had a few wheel spins on icy roads and the car has had that situation where it wants to pull to the side as traction is lost on one wheel, but so far I've found the car to be very forgiving of getting into situations and pretty easy to get the Avalon out of them all. So far so good my side *knock wood*  I've never had much experience in RWD though other than a Dodge Charger rental (which I loved the feel of, thing felt like a 10 ton tank sunk in the ground, felt VERY stable), I don't know that I personally would change to RWD just due to my inexperience with it in a climate that gets snow/ice. Cheers guys Sheldon

Replying to: rpfingsten (Jan 01, 2009 3:53 am) I too have a 07 XLS and have also noticed a rattle at time that from your description sounds very much like mine, I have never suspected the sun roof though. Next time I hear this I'll put pressure on it and see if it also is coming from there. Thanks again Sheldon |

Visited my local dealer today & the sales Mgr. said there will be an all new 2010 Avalon in the showrooms Sept/Oct of this year. No details on the car, yet; but he said his onfo is straight from Toyota USA.

Well, I went to the Toyota dealer yesterday to ask when they were going to get in the new 2010 Prius (answer was late May/early June), and I also asked about other new non-Prius product launches, particularly hybrids. Turns out that the head salesguy at the dealer had just talked with the TMS Chicago Region rep, who had told him about three new Toyotas (2010/11 4Runner, Avalon/Avalon Hybrid, and Sienna/Sienna Hybrid). All will be launching in the fall (they were originally going to launch on the auto show circuit, but cost cuts in the auto biz, including at Toyota, put a halt to the plans). Anyway, here's a few details of the 2010/11 Avalon: -One trim level, like Venza, with choice of packages. Toyota wants to make Avalon more affordable to appeal to younger buyers. -Choice of 3.5L V6 for gas model or new Hybrid model with 3.5L V6 + 3G Hybrid Synergy Drive. (Hybrid should get lower-mid 30s MPG combined city/highway.) -Many Lexus-like features, like Lane Keep Assist and Intelligent Park Assist, along with a roomier interior. -Production starts at TMMK in the fall.
