Warning on Toyota Period
 This is my 5th Avalon. I have enjoyed the comfort and mileage and I thought quality to this point.  This model the 08 was involved in the acceleration recall and computer adjustment.  But just this past week the light all of a sudden went totally out! Upon investigation it's the classic HID light problem that is so abundant on the Prius.  Apparently Toyota is well aware of the problem and the critical safety issues involved if you go to consumer reports, NHTSA, etc you may well be surprised of the cost involved with the HID light problems w/ avalons and most notably the Prius.  This is a definite safety issue as the lights will fail with no warning. Very expensive repair stay away from them
