You got to be kidding me.
The day Toyota sells me that cover for 50cents is the day i will stop calling it a problem with their design.

chikoo, this thread is about the Avalon, not Camry bumper flutter.

You have made your observations, concerns and opinions known now lets get this thread back on topic please.

I agree Dave that this thread is not about the Camry, but the Avalon.
But at the same time this was a Toyota Chief Engineer "bragging" or should I say showing his passion for design, and I believe it was the appropriate forum to bring up the engineering issues that Toyota has under the new aggressive design approach. I am not discussing the Camry, but the Toyota engineering in general. I even brought the Toyota highlander into the discussion to advance that point. I pointed it out, and left it at that. I am not going on and on and on about it. Hope you understand where I am coming from and where I am headed.

Thanks!

appreciate the input, but discussion about 'toyota engineering in general', Camry, Highlander, should go in another thread.

Highlander <> Avalon. As I stated, my concern is that you have made your point in spades and are now beating a dead horse. It has become argumentative and not constructive.

Let's move on from it please, pm me if you want to discuss further.
