perfect, now if they can only bring back the Supra and the turbo-charge Mr2.

Sadly, this is exactly the wrong time. If you’re lucky, you might get the Aygo and the Camry wagon.

Maybe my Brother-in-law can get a job there before Delphi sets him adrift in next year’s round of cuts.

To me that Avalon has a sort of Caddy vibe going on. I dunno why really.

A good move by Toyota.

For the relative low cost of some office and warehouse space they can take advantage of the inevitable head for the exits by the best at brightest at the D2.5.

Regarding the Avalon, I disagree. It’s a svelte, classy “full-size” near-luxury sedan, as opposed to its bloated fatass yachtlike competitors in the Crown Vic and Grand Marq.

Damn that Avalon is fugly. Venza front & junk-in-the-trunk rear from the Solara. Toyota’s getting dowdier every model year.

Coup de grace.
