Toyota Avalon Teased Ahead Of New York Auto Show Debut

Toyota released a teaser of a new sedan with an “…elegant yet athletic look.” The sedan is apparently a production ready car and not a concept and if it really is the new Avalon (what else can it be) it looks like that the stodgy old retiree-mobile is getting some youthful new duds. Sort of like seeing your Grandpa wear Air Jordans because he bought them for $29.99 at Marshall’s. Except this time, it seems to be intentional.

    Am I the only one that doesn't care at all anymore about renderings such as this? What is this, the Avalon for a 4G planet? At least GM's renderings from the 60's had people holding skiis or pointing at deer.

      These drawings mean little to me either. They always look like something that should run on di-lithium crystals. And then you have people judging their trunk access or ground clearance based on the cartoon picture.

    Well I'm only 34 years old, three box sedan design MIGHT make a comeback in my lifetime.

    This rendering brings as much hope that Toy will produce a truly good looking sedan, as a million monkeys at a million drawing boards...

    If you hadn't told us I would have guessed a BMW. So many vehicles have copied BMW.
