Lexus is built on the Toyota chassis. The Corolla is not as fancy, but
is a better value.


No lexus is built on a corolla chassis, and in fact no lexus sold in
North Anerica is built on the same chassis as any Toyota sold in North
America (ublike Honda and Acyra)


Lexus ES350, Toyota Avalon. Same engine, same chassis, same
transmission, same suspension, same body sheet metal.

In the top Avalon trim line, the only real difference is the "L" on the
Lexie's trunk and grill vs. the Toyota scarab.

Oh, and the Lexie steering wheel does have power tilt/retract and swings
out of the way a little when you shut off the engine. An extra year's
warranty too.
OK - so they are selling the decontented Lexus as the Avalon now
instead of rhe strretched upgraded Camry - Was not aware of that, as
they sell SO few Avalons.

Surprising that they don't sell more. The Avalon is a very nice car at a
decent price.

I guess Lexus owners have no problem forking over all that extra dough
for the "prestige" of driving a "carjack me/follow me home for a home
invasion" bait-mobile. They probably also like the rub-up they got from
the faux-snooty Lexus sales droids in the showroom;-)

Friend lives behind a gate overlooking the ocean. Much envy.

Bring a heavy wallet for Lexus post-warranty repairs or service...

Hubby's former boss during the 1960s bought a Lamborghini (or equivalent
-- the James Bond car at the time) and sold it as soon as he found out
that a simple tuneup (we remember what those were, right?) cost $1,000.

Other friend only drives a BMW because his kid is a BMW mech and the
repairs are free.


Free? Does the kid steal the parts or buy them for Daddy?
