Lincoln



Toyota
Toyota says that the all-new Avalon is the most-American vehicle they've produced to date, a claim that's difficult to dispute, as the car was styled in California, engineered in Michigan, and will be built in Kentucky

Between the two th Zepyr looks much better, but the avalon has some nicer options. The exterior on the avalon looks to flimsy and cheap imho. The zephyr looks like a classy luxury car and not an oversized camry. Also the Interior on the Zepyr looks more accomodating imho. Just my two cents.

that doesn't look like real wood on the avalon?


Posted by: MarkOfDeath

I kinda like the Avalon, its got a better drivetrain and it way cheaper with way way more options, lincoln sucks they havent done a good thing in a long ass time, thou i like the LS

Add a navigation system to the Avalon to better match the options selected on the Zephy and it looks like the price jumps to $36,905.

oh I thought i included it, but we will see how the lincoln holds up, we know how toyota does.

I Dont Like The Gauges On The Zephyer Theyre Kinda Small


Posted by: MarkOfDeath

If you drove the avalon you would really like it, its a solid car. I also dont see how it is not in the same class. also it has 70 more hp

well may i suggest you trade your Mark and buy the damm thing, and then Join the Toy club. Oh yea be sure to get one of them cute little soccer ball magnets for the back with your school of choice on it.


Just teasing but it needed to be said LOL

If you compare a base model Zephyr with a base model Avalon you will see the difference. It was made to compete with the likes of the accord and Camry. Whats the wheel base on the Avalon, over-all length, and weight? These are all things to consider when talking about the 268 hp vs the 221 hp. Also is the 3.5 an optional engine?

I test drove an avalon but just couldn't get myself to buy one!


Posted by: chocolat1701

hey my cuz has a avalon its not as good as my LS8 but its a way better then the zypher -- i had a zypher for about 1 week when my LS was being repaired and the zypher was a loaner its a great car but i think that the avalon is a better car but still both feel to american for me and i like the euro feel thats why i got a LS i gots the best of both worlds......

But Toyota has had a bunch of reliability problems lately, including the Avalon which was in a big recall recently iirc.
