Hi Tim, the Aurion has a different engine than the Avalon or V-6 Camry.
The Avalon is a long wheel based Camry, same 3 Lt V6 an 4spd auto.
When the new Camry came out, Toyota ditched the Avalon, made a new 3.5 Lt V6 (200 Kw), installed a new 6spd auto and called it the Aurion.

Every Aurion has the 6spd auto and bigger 6.

Avalon is old 1990's tech, the engine and auto box (3Lt 145Kw, 4spd) remained unchanged.

I would be happy with either Aurion or 380, or you could buy what I drive....... Nissan Maxima, 2003 and later model have the bigger 3.5Lt V-6.
