I quoted price from a local dealer online.

It's New 2017 Toyota Avalon XLE (GS), asking price, $27,518, which is 7k off the MSRP.

Any thought?

IMO, that's a great price.

I noticed one in the showroom of my Toyota dealer similarly discounted, but it was discounted from a higher price, and I don't remember for sure if it was a 2016 or a 2017. (They still had a few '16s yet a couple months ago.) Sure was a beautiful car, but I'm more interested in operating costs since I drive a lot.

One thing for sure, you won't find a ton of them everywhere you go. Unlike the Accord or Camry. The Hybrid gets 39 mpg. Not bad for a large car.

MPG is comparable with V6 Camry.

Reliability is debatable. Some sources say it's as reliable as Camry, some claim the reliability is worse.

It's got the same running gear as a V6 Camry, I can't really see there being any kind of significant difference.

I drive a 2014 Toyota Avalon XLE and couldn't be happier. 25 city, 35 hwy, combined MPG of 30. Lexus are cars people buy when they want to impress others. Look at me, I have a Lexus. Even though I can afford a Lex, I don't want one because I'm not trying to impress others. I'm also young. It rides smooth, great gas mileage and spacious. That's the very reason I got an Avalon: Not many people own them, which to me is good because the roads are oversaturated with Camrys.

I find it hard to believe that you get 25mpg city. That's better than a Corolla.

A 2017 Corolla's fuel economy figures are 27-28 mpg city, 35 highway. The Eco model has estimates of 30 city, 40 highway.

Avalon's are about 21 city, 31 highway (for the non hybrid model) - which sounds about right.
