A fridn of mine was telling me that the TOyota Avalon and Lexus GS are basically the same vehicles...despite the difference in awd and power output...????

 

Avalon isn't the Toyota version of the GS, it's FWD etc. etc. Pretty much completely different.

 

Your friend is just being a wad.....

GS and Avalon are completely different, the Avalon is based on a stretched Camry platform and built in America for America only.

The two could not be more different.

 

if anything can be compared to a lexus its the camry and the es. the avalon is not a gs.

 

Yeah. Honda is a lot more guilty of sticking an Acura logo on a Honda model and selling it for more than Toyota is of this kind of practice. Personally, I would buy an Acura mower if they offered it with leather grips and extra chrome.

 

You need to get some new (better informed) friends

 

We have the Avalon here in the Gulf too.. we also have the Aurion, which is a more sportier toyota.

 

this guy is always givin me crap about Lexus...he prefers Honda/Acura however he drives a 2003 Ford Escort ZX2 so he has no room to talk about any kind of vehicles.

 

He is a douchebag

 

There is no help for him, nothing I can say or prescribe, can help him.

I don't think you should renew his friend license.

Show him pics of this and ask where is the V-8 or V-10 Acura

 

Second that.

 

That is just a lexus corolla with more power, BTW.

 

I'll give your friend the NSX outside of that he needs to be quiet. He drives a Ford Escort enough said!!

 

I believe the ES is based on the Avalon chassis, the GS is definitely a standalone chassis and not based on anything Toyota.

 

Ehhhhh Aristo? Or did they not do a current generation Aristo?
