I know. Therein lies the drama. People love them...or they hate them. They are "very reliable" or "they suck". Color me confused...still...

Just went by dealer yesterday... They are offering lifetime mechanical warranty... Engine, transmission, etc... Yikes.. Tempting me now... But not as nice as the Avalon. The Touareg, otoh, i was drooling a bit. I will have to wait on that one.

Ok

Maybe

Got my eye on this one.

2010 - 14k - one owner lease 5k a year. All the whistles and bells with the I4 Turbo instead of the I5 in the newer ones.

That will not last long. You seem to have a touch of the bad luck with women... You will fall flat in love with a girl in Dallas only to lift that skirt and find the has on Dallas Cowboy panties.
