i found the new 2009 Avalon. it has a 3.5L V6 with 268hp (200kw) with a six speed automatic which i think is from the Aurion. it is also front wheel drive. not sure if it is only available in America.

here it is - http://www.toyota.com/avalon/photo-gallery.html

Have seen these later model Avalons in the Middle East and they really do look very classy and nothing like the dated thing we were given for Australia. They are very Lexus looking and the inside quality looks better than Camry/Aurion.

IMO, 2009 avalon is a twin brother of aurion because the engine spec is same.

I found engine info of 2009 avalon as below:

Configuration : Type 3.5L V-6 268 HP

Location : front engine

Displacement : 3,456 cc 3.5 liters

Bore / Stroke : 94.0 mm bore, 83.1 mm stroke, 10.8 compression ratio

Valvetrain : double overhead cam, variable valve timing/camshaft and four valves per cylinder 2GR-FE

Fuel feed : Multi-point injection fuel system

Performance : Power: 200 kW , 268 HP SAE @ 6,200 rpm; 248 ft lb , 336 Nm @ 4,700 rpm

Full spec is on 2009 Avalon Spec

Personally, it's not my taste tho..

As much as I'm not a fan of the style the the Avalon has going with it, the exterior sure has some pimping potential. The cruiser in the second photo is hot; so much so that I would actually drive one like that (minus the cop lights and decals):

Sort of reminds me of a Lincoln in a way. Definitely looks to be a car for an older person though.

I agree. I sat in one before i got an Aurion and it just felt suited for older people. Everything from the design of the wooden parts to the dash/nav buttons. I could have gotten it, But then i found out it was the same exact engine as the Aurion, And the Avalon just felt bigger to me so i figured it would be slower due to weight and body shape. Aurion is definitely sportier and I'm happy with the choice i made!.

THANK GOD though i didn't get the 2008 Avalon..., Because just recently they beefed up the Avalons here in the middle east upto 280HP "Maybe so it can keep up with the Aurion?". I would have been ****** if i had already gotten the inferior one. God i hate it when car companies do this, Its just not right.

Why on earth would they bring back a car with the same name that has historically brought such negative attention?

Avalon died long ago, and for very good reasons... They should have brought it back with a new name that at least leaves history where it is.

The American Avalon is a slightly different beast to the australian version. It has been a mainstay of the American toyota mark from the early to mid 90's all the way up to today. The australian Avalon was a reworked Camry based sedan. The Australian car died in 2005 due to lack of enthusiasm from the market but the U.S. model continues to sell. I myself was not really at the Avalon as a car personally but as the add said 'Avalon drive and you'll never turn back'. It is a well refined and finished vehicle which has plenty of power and handels well for its size and weight.

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I was hoping for a trivial issue like a blockage, but seems Im out of luck....

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Just tested before - I think its dead. No noise - nothing. I also note that the power supply I have actually delivers a really high-pitched noise when it is on. When you connect it to something, that noise goes away. In this case, when I connect to the terminals, the noise remains. I'm going to have to get inside to look further. Unfortunately, I simply don't have the room to do a job like that. Geoff, did you have any luck getting yours out through the inspection hole mate? I'd seen a few Lexus owners actually cut the inspection hole to get this part out without dropping the tank. Each to their own, but I'm looking to avoid anything that invasive....

      Typical Price for a Replacement Key - 2000 Toyota Torago

      Just let me preface this by saying I know very little about cars in general, so apologies if I get some basic info wrong here. Ive lost the key to my 2000 Toyota Torago. I rang up a local locksmith to get a quote on a replacement key, and apparently it'll cost $1200 for two keys?? The old key didn't even have any electronics in it, it was just a basic key. Not button unlock or anything. I've gotten an electronic car key cut before and it only came to $400! This price for a key without a chip seems extortionate to me. Can someone please let me know if this price is normal, and if so why the hell its so expensive? Thanks in advance for the help! Here's all the information I think is relevant to the car (let me know if more is needed): TOYOTA TARAGO ACR30 II 16V 2.4L 2AZ-FE DOHC 16v Petrol 4cyl 115kW MPV FWD [02/00-02/06] Compliance plate / RAV entry date: 04/2000

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      On my 2002 Prado, the fuel transfer pump has a fuel filter which can block, causing increasingly less fuel transfer between the tanks. It may be the same for the Cruiser too. I have not yet had an issue with mine even at 250000km, but that is low mileage for a 2002 Prado. I hope that you have a filter that can be easily replaced. It could save you a pump replacement.

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      Unless you can identify which engine your Hilux has now, you may be better off finding a good 5LE engine and return it to stock. Nice to have a Turbo diesel though. Have you tried taking a photo of the engine and posting it so others can advise what engine you have. It may be better to have your engine overhauled. If you can locate the engine number (should be on the registration papers if the engine swap was done legit), you might be able to ID the engine that way too. Do you know why the engine seized? It may be possible to overhaul your engine cheaper than replacing it.

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I've just got a price from Toyota up here in QLD for the whole replacement unit... (OUCH!!!! 😭) I would share more information on my investigation so far, but apparently, I am a spam bot and can upload pictures, but not write the story to go with it.... without being pulled up for it...... I can tell you that I am getting no suction on what I believe is the fuel line from the sub to main tank. I am however getting 13v on the fuel pump connection. It comes on for a moment before going off. I'm guessing because of this error. Perhaps the rail stops delivering power..... My next step is to apply 12v to the pump and see if I can hear it in the tank making any noise. Surely, I'd be able to hear something with the car not running - if it is working?
