2007 Toyota Avalon Sedan XLS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Quality is gone
 I owned a 1997 Avalon XLS and it was perhaps the finest car I've ever owned.  That's why I bought another one last year.  What a disappointment.  The transmission always hesitates before finding the right gear, there is a thumping noise coming from the trunk every time I go over a bump, but there is nothing in the trunk.  The wind noise on the freeway is excessive.  Rear visibility isn't very good.  Cup holders don't hold standard cups.  Toyota missed with this one.
