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:

Yeah, i hear ya ^ ^ . I was so impressed with the 2010 Highlander's 3.5 liter V6 in manual shift mode. It has less power than Nissan's Maxima of the same year, yet exact same displacement V6. It also weighs more in its SUV/truck frame.
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 .

Damn, it looks like you like Lexus/Toyota more than me! LOL!!!

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

NIce ! dude. . . my Friend wants his to go 500,000 miles. I told him as long as he maintains it well, the engine should be able to go that distance--- he's got 50k on it now. Stil in its childhood, the engine
