Figured out why the Avalon is so roomy
Re: Avalon room- I finally figured out why it is so roomy. It is not the 40.5" of rear leg room although that helps. I always said that my '04 MDX is so roomy like the Avy. other cars seem smaller with good leg room. Rear leg room: Taurus-38.5, Lacrosse 38.5, Genesis 38.5 (seems larger), Malibu 37.5 and I looked up my "roomy" MDX and was shocked to find only 37.5" of rear seat leg room. It is the flat floor in my MDX and virtually flat floor in the Avalon that gives all of the useable room. My MDX appears much roomier because it is from a cubic foot standpoint, not knee room. That driveshaft hump is huge in terms of stealing important room. Moreover, nearly every sedan I have looked at has a raised center rear seat that puts an adult's head near or on the roof- note the wide Avy seat that is not raised in the center=more room.
