If I am not mistaken, the Avalon and GS are built on the same platform. True or false? I don’t have time to look into this as I am at work.

However, I did come across this today. Something faulty with the Avalon from 2000-2004. And since I have a 2000, it does make me wonder.

This something to look into, or does it not pertain to our cars?

And a recall on the LX470

I always believed that the Avalon and GS are cousins but I'm not certain. I did hear of the recall for the Avalon about a day ago and it does make me wonder if this may include the GS.

 

its the ES and Avalon and Camry V6 that are simliar.

 

The Avalon is based on the Camry chassis except it's stretched a little. I believe it has nothing in common with the GS. Then again I had a 99 Avalon, not the 2k one so I'm not sure if that model was similar, but I would imagine the same principle applies.

 

The Avalon is a V6, FWD sedan. The GS is either an I6 or V8, RWD sedan.

 

bingo,
that should make enuf diff on the recall for the avalon

 

This has been discussed.

Avalon is built in America off the stretched Camry platform. It is FWD.

GS is built in Japan on its own platform. It is RWD.

They are not related at all.
