What were they thinking? Needless to say, I'm sure it'll do well.

Not like the previous versions were any better looking.

I think the baby boomers are about twenty years too young for this car. This model has always been a dog in toyota's lineup, it like their crown Victoria. Good for taxicabs and retirees that had enough common sense not to buy a Lincoln.

Here is something to settle you down Kenneth as you like the 'vintagey' stuff.
Is that a word? My '92 XJ40.

love the vintage british cars where they use real wood for the trim panels, unlike cars of today where they use acrylic "wood" trim panels.

The Avalon looks horrible, and Toyota does not have that quality they once had. I sat in the new Camry at the NY Auto show and can tell you the materials were horrid on the inside, and the seating position was even worse.

Beautiful. I had a 1987 XJ6 and it had fantastic wood trim, large thin (no air bag) steering wheel. Such a special driving experience from a real British car.

'87 was the last of the independent rounded headlights and curved taillights. In '88 they went to rectangular - such a shame. Still, those cars had more style than what Ford did to them

YIKES. That is a lot of bland plastic...I gota say the exterior body is decent looking, but most japanese cars don't appeal to me.

I don't like any of the newer Toyota designs. They ruined my favorite SUV, the Land Cruiser, and turned the Sequoia and 4runner into bloated Chevy Suburbans.

I don't see anything wrong with the look.
It's highly derivative, but what's new about that?
