Replying to: wwest (Jul 16, 2008 11:10 am) I'm not concerned with the tech aspects so much as the sales volume. How few Avalons can Toyota make and sell in a model year before the accounting dept says stop because we make no money? The Avalon is a great value. The size, gas mileage, relative price, etc., are unbeatable. Even if you make it alongside a Camry line it's still a separate car.   But, if you are right, a redesigned Lexus GS at maybe $36k, plus tax, w/Nav...a roomy backseat and a generous trunk... lead me to the dealership, I'm ready !!

Replying to: wwest (Jul 16, 2008 11:10 am) don't buy all of this - the Avalon selling particularily well to the same older demographic it always has, with size not available on anything other than a LS. And it outperforms many smaller cars at the gas pumps as well as the drag strip. Would Toyota discontinue some of its V8 models, perhaps , although I seriously doubt that folks that are out spending the extra bucks for an GS, SC or LS are worried too much about $5 gas. The 05 Avalon begat the 07 Camry and the ES350 the size differences not all that significant, but there still remains a solid market for something called an Avalon as THE premium Toyota. Not everything considered 'luxurious' needs to have that 'L' on the grille, and nor could a Camry be accepted as a vehicle on the same level as an Avalon (even if it is essentially the truth) Why would Toyota want to fix something that ain't broke?
#11 of 15 Will there be a 2010? by mikes. Jul 19, 2008 (2:25 am)
Or should I buy a 2009?   I had a 96 xl and loved it. I have an 05 Limited that I bought the 3rd day they were out in Feb. of 05. The only vehicle I've ever paid close to sticker for.   I was planning on buying a new one in 2010 but if they are going to be discontinued I'll suck it up and buy an 09.

Replying to: kenb757 (Jul 14, 2008 4:31 pm) Hope they will continue building it as I plan to buy a new one next year. I have a 98 XL with over 140Kmiles. Just completed 1st timing and other belts, water pump and seals replacement. It runs great and plan to keep it for as long I can maintain it.
