'06 Avalon - no trunklid keyhole!

Brent · 2005-07-18T19:30:43+00:00

I drive a '98 Avalon XLS. I love it. I think the 2005 is gorgeous. i'vebeen eager to get one.All bets are off. Have you noticed there's no keyhole for the trunklid?Honest. On all four models. You can only open the trunk with the buttonon the keyfob or the button on the dash. Period.You say the battery is dead and your jumper cables are in the trunk?Tough.Unless they fix that in the '09 facelift, I guess I'll be driving my'98 for another five years. Thank goodness it's the best car I've everowned. (I traded up from a Lincoln Continental.)Sadly,Brent"This old anvil laughs at many broken hammers." -- Carl Sandburg, "The People, Yes"

I'll stick with Consumer Reports for recommendations.

Be my guest, I could not care less how or where you spend you own money, but from what we see in our service business anyone willing to pay 20% to 30% more to buy a particular brand, hoping they will not get one of the 2% to 3% of their bad ones, rather than going with the 97% odds that they will get one of any manufactures good ones, is wasting their money. ;)
