Lexus made the ISF, and I don't count the LFA because they only made 500 and it's $400k The reason why I chose a Maxima the first time over a Toyota Avalon was that Toyota just doesn't get enough out of their motors... Both have 3.5L engines, Toyota gets 268HP leading to a 0-60 of 7.9 seconds and the Maxima has 290HP and a 0-60 of 5.8 seconds The second time I chose a Maxima was just because I think it looked good and I don't like the 2013 Avalon, but now I pray, every day, that both cars get totaled... And my fat àss will RUN to the nearest Lexus/Toyota dealershit and say:

Despite these shortcomings, I much prefer Toyota's drive-train and driving dynamics. Something about their attention to detail, refinement, and utter drive for perfection in excellence . |

My dad has had 3 Highlander's in... 12 years, awesome cars, we BEAT THE SHÍT out of them, and my dad ain't your scheduled maintanence kind of guy... LOL!!! And they all worked well until their deaths... (ALL totaled) His coworker had a 2001 that he just got rid of last year... It had OVER 400,000 miles, granted all highway miles, but holy crap, it's still a lot, and it only started to burn about a quart of oil every 5k miles after it hit 350k miles... Same with my best friend's Lexus RX300, 2003, 268k miles, and that thing KICKED LIKE A MULE, LOL
