2008 Toyota Avalon

Replying to: captain2 It's not that I don't agree you, at least partially, but the fact of the matter is that Toyota/Lexus has not yet fully solved the FWD transaxle problem even using DBW to delay the onset of ... via Edmunds.com

Is Toyota planning a hybrid Avalon for 2008?

[Katie and Ken]

We have a 2006 Toyota Avalon and have had a terrible problem with the paint chipping and scratching and swirling. I am glad to hear others have had this problem, too, as the dealer and Toyota both have made it seem like it is our fault. We have an arbitration hearing on June 11.

[hmmm]

hope you get it fixed. from following the web alot of toyotas seem to have this problem.

Where can I get more details on what and when for the 2008 model?

Thanks, Tom

Someone else had previously posted those exact changes for the 2008 model on edmunds web site, but again, no source or additional specifics. They sound reasonable, though, considering last year's changes were minimal.

[jim]

The only available source for the 2008 model is at the dealer IF they are willing to release the info. Out of three dealers, I only found one that would show me a small booklet that contained the details. One other thing that I noted that was not included on the list posted here and in Edmunds is that the car will also have Bluetooth capability.

Does anyone know if the avalon is going to be a better price up here in Canada with a strong dollar?

[Steve]

Can anyone help me should I hold off for the 2008 Avalon or try and get a deal on the 2007? Is the 2008 going to be much better?

But what you may not have seen
is that Toyota has already
passed both Ford and GM in a different category -
automotive recalls.

Although we've barely passed mid-February,
Toyota has already recalled! 533,417
vehicles this year in a mix that, according to www.AutoRecalls.us ,
includes Tundras Sequoias and Camry’s. That puts Toyota on track to recall
more than the over 1.76 million autos they recalled in the U.S. and Japan
in 2006, and the 2.2 million they recalled in 2005 when they recalled
more cars than they built.

What's more, the current recall
related to the Turdra trucks and Sequioa SUVs is similar to the same defect
in 800,000 of the same vehicles in 2005.

Would like to know what price the 2008 XLS is going for? So it seams to be coming in at the end of August right? What is the most popular colour inside and out? I was going to pick blue on the outside and black on the inside what does anyone think about?
