When Toyota puts out a flagship vehicle like the Avalon, why would anyone need a Lexus? Don’t get me wrong, I’m a three time Infinity Q-45 owner. You don’t have to sell me on luxury and power. But when I bought my Q’s, these kind of options didn’t exist in “normal” line cars.
Ok. I’m going to give you that it isn’t that great looking, but it does 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds(!), gets 31MPG on the highway with a theoretical range of 571 miles on regular unleaded… and check out the stuff that comes in the Avalon:
Dual zone climate control
Reclining rear seats
High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps with auto leveling
Dual heated color-keyed power outside mirrors with puddle lamps, turn signal indicators, memory and auto-dimming
Now, if you try the Edmund’s powered Comparator, and pit the Avalon against the Lexus ES, Lexus GS and Infinity Q45, it will kick it’s ass in virtually every single category!
Bottom line is, this is one heck of a deal. If your friends give you a hard time because it ain’t that great lookin, just take them for a ride and tell them what you paid. It will start looking a lot better to them…
