Thanks to all for the input. Perhaps characterizing the camry as less car thn the taurus was a poor choice of words, it's just that the taurus is full sized, roughly the same size as the avalon. I was kicking around the idea of AWD and possibly the SHO or intercepter with the 365 horse ecoboost, but decided I don't need it.
Look carefully at the Taurus, and you'll see it is surprisingly cramped inside for the size car it is. Outside, it is closer to the Avalon than the Camry, but inside, to me it feels more like a Corolla!
