    Anyone aware of a chat forum similiar to Prius Chat for the Toyota Avalon Hybrid? Nothing seemed to come up with an internet search.

    So it is so close that I would not have thought ... !!! I did look at the number of Forums here, but was focused on the "Avalon" identifier.

    Thanks !!!

    As a power plant, the Camry Hybrid and the Avalon Hybrid will have some common ground.

    I suspect you are correct. It has been 14 months since I test drove a Camry Hybrid prior to buying my Prius. I just did not like the ride and it just didn't "feel right". Oddly enough (!) my wife felt the same and we went with the Hatchback.

    I cannot imagine the Camry Hybrid would ride like the Avalon does .... :) The Camry has always been a great car, but the Avalon is certainly a step above for those seeking such luxury.

    In '13 I test drove both the Camry and Avalon, Camry seemed quicker, but the seats in the Avalon were much more comfortable, and being 71 at the time, I bought the Avalon. When you are in your 70's you will find that comfort trumps most everything else.
