I owned a half dozen Lexus LSs, great cars but the dealers suck, they act like they are doing you a favor buy letting you buy a Lexus and charging $110 shop rate for service. That was one reason I switched to a domestic brand in 1999. It soon became apparent that the domestic luxury brand I started to buy was just as good, but many thousands less to buy and replace. Not only that, I am saving hundreds a year or service as well. Thank you Mr. Lexus dealer LOL

Just the 6 speed I think. I believe the 5 speed automatic is a Ford of Europe product (but I am not sure). The 6 speed in the "new" Ford Taurus (and the Edge and the Lincoln MKZ and MKX) is not the same as used in the Fusion. It is a new Ford built transmission that came out of the GM/Ford collaboration. Interestingly, the Taurus with the
3.5L V-6 and Ford 6 Speed Automatic gets better fuel economy than the Fusion with the 3.0L V-6 and Aisin 6 speed (at least in EPA tests).Ed
The is the result of having the proper amount of torque at the proper RPMs, something the Japs have yet to figure out how to do ;)

I guess Ford hasn't figured it out either then.

Does the Sienna and Camry 07 use the same 5 spd A/T transmission?
