Thanks for that - but it's kinda amusing.You guys are really pooping in Costello's farewell.
I bought a 2016 Avalon V6. Motor reminds me a bit of the Yamaha motor in the '89 Taurus SHO I used to have. Plenty of power, too heavy, corners like a pig, but cruises nice. Needed the room, as my parents are aging. Wanted a car that's easier for them to get in and out of. I'm posting solid MPG's in the 29 - 30 range on a daily 100 mile commute. If it holds up anything like my '02 Tacoma 229K miles, DW's '11 RAV4 125K miles, I'll be pleased.
I still miss the Passat. VAG rep told me at the dealership - no path forward for repair of the 2012. Just a damn shame. Tired of seeing all the diesel pickups around here with the emission deletes, chipped and subway sized pipes.
I'll post my farewell Passat photo asap.
