Yeah he smartly missed a warmed over Camry wif a few bells and whistles,the ES300,old inna tooth...fer a fast,comfy value fer money,from the same Family,ride....a NO BRAINER...so he has to buy his own coffee at the dealeship when he gets a service EVERY 3 YEARS...!!!!Just change the oil ta Synth on that baby yearly and enjoy......WHITE..not a colour that would do justice to the big Flanks on the new Avalon IMHO...a Dark Blue or somesuch would be best.....
THERE IS NO CURE FOR "LOTUS"......ONLY TREATMENT.....

Avalon has great reliability too.

ES has a sterling rep b/c they're driven by older folks who barely drive and mostly baby the thing. I always find it interesting how sister cars on the same platform, mechanically identical, that are simply styled different and are aimed at different demographics (or having different body styles) can have such different quality/reliability ratings. I think the owner is the big reason why.

Avalon is a nice and larger car. Noticed a white one at my local dealer last night as I drove by. Whichever, doesn't much matter. They're all close.

Siraqua, why do you say the ES has a greatly quality/reliability rating than the Camry? Isn't the Camry always on top of those charts?
