'06 Toyota Avalon

[jimmykce1]

I read the specifications for the 2006 Toyota Avalon and they are making Traction Control and Stability Control available on all models, which is a good.

However, I noticed that Toyota has reduced the horsepower rating and torque by 12 for both. Did anyone elese notice this?? Is this a misprint?? If this is tue this is stupid move in my opinion.

Unless the 05's did not put out the claimed HP/TQ and they are correcting the numbers for 06. It's not like the Avalon crowd will be dyno testing their cars to findout if the 280 HP was correct.

might be related to stricter power rating standards....discussed in this recent thread
