There is also a dark gray called Charcoal that comes only on the Touring, I believe.
As for the wood colors, I'm not sure but I think Ivory and Light Gray come with light wood, Graphite with the dark wood. Anyone else know for sure?

Manual says that after above 1 and 2, the Homelink light should change from a slow to a rapid flash. That didn't happen.
What did happen is when I pressed the homelink button, the green light indicator turned red.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
Wow even the Detroit News likes the new Avalon. Usually they are very pro domestic.
When I first posted here, I said the New Avalon reminds me of the First Lexus, and this Avalon is as good if not better and for a lot less. So Ronn, this is a great report and how we believed from the get go. In my opinion the sales will be excellent this year, for many reasons, of course the overall quality of the car, design, power etc., and the bargain price in MHO. So for those of you who paid the MSRP, don't feel bad, this car is worth every penny and I believe you will see the base price take a minimum 500 dollar increase for the 06 if not before. Toyota has a winner and so are we. I LOVE MY CAR, IT JUST TAKES OFF SO SMOOTHLY, everything works like a charm, and like I thought, Toyota's introduction for this new car has no bugs, at least not on mine, so am very happy I didn't wait till next year. This one is a keeper for a few years.
By the way, may I ask where you are from? I am from Roanoke Virginia...you may have not heard of it? I still can't decide on the XM radio. The dealer here told me it was very involved....
I bought a new battery, as the manual suggested, to make sure that I have sufficient power.
Again, thanks.
I'm not happy seeing the domestics getting creamed especially since I hold bonds in GM, but they are always late to the plate and a base behind the Japanese. Ford and GM are building more quality cars, but overall they just don't match up even though they could if they became more creative. The Ford 500 and it's brother Mercury should have had a more powerful engine on it's introduction, so they lost the ball. Even if it did the Avalon is still IMHO a better all around car, and they would still have to play catch up. Well maybe they will wake up. In the interim Ronn and the rest of you who did your homework, my hats off to you all. Happy motoring.

I have decided not to get the XM. After much thought today, I can listen to CD's as I do most of the time.. I am afraid they might screw up something..The car is so knew to the dealers, they are still learning.
I stopped at a Lexus dealership today and of course a salesman approached me. He asked if I was driving the new 05 Avalon. He then asked to look it over and boy was he impressed, especially when I told him what I paid for it. Said it was going to give them a lot of competition. By then 3 more salesmen had come out and they all thought it was a great car, especially for ther money.

Well I'm off to count sheep. It's amazing how happy we are with our Avalon, like kids with toys, but this is a lot more money and quality we can be proud of. Goodnight Ronn.
Thanks.

My thought exactly! I didn't hesitate to buy the first model year.

I stopped at a Lexus dealer today beacause the Visualogic A-1000 & A-2000 model of DVD systems show an 05 Lexus RX330 with Ivory and a couple more Lexus models and 2 or 3 Toyota models as having the same Visualogic part number.
The service manager at Lexus had 1 of his guys pull the headrest out of an 05 RX330 and it plugged right into my 05 Avvy, the color even matched up perfectly.
I called my audio store had them order me one. Should be here in a couple days and then the kid will again have a DVD player to keep her amused. 3 yr olds get bored pretty quick
Although I love this car but I have noticed a rumbling sound from the right rear wheel which only happens when I drive off from a parked position. If I stop and start again with the engine running this noise is not audible. But if I turn off the engine , and then restart, shift up to the drive position, and drive off this rumbling sound occurs for the first 4-5 wheel rotations.
Has anybody heard this noise. Can anybody suggest how I should addresss this problem as this noise has been present from the time I first drove offf the dealer's lot. Does anybody have any suggestions what could the cause of this problem?
