It looks like Toyota left most of the front end off of their big, floppy sedan.

But the interior looks very comfortable and well made:

Workers at Toyota's Georgetown, Ky., manufacturing complex will assemble the car.

An all-new 8-speed automatic transmission channels power to the Avalon’s front wheels and enhances fuel economy.

Here's the challenge: The large sedan market has shrunk in recent years as consumers migrate to SUVs and crossovers. Avalon sales slipped 32% last year to 32,583, a number the new model should be able to beat.

It looks like a bigger version of the new Honda Civic.

The Civic has much better styling than this hideous thing.

The designer must have patterned this after a car involved in a head on collision.

If you buy a Toyota you're basically buying a kamikaze plane for King Tojo to use against our boys

Maybe if it had a monster engine that needed to suck in huge amounts of air, but it’s an Avalon, not a Chiron

My SO's grandmother bought an '18 in November. Bear with me, she's 93. Not a misprint. About the car, it's a nice ride. Not your luxury stalwart but it's sound in every category for the price.

Yeah I thought the new Camry's were ugly, but this Avalon is even worse.

I'm legitimately concerned that they'll screw up the 4Runner before I'm ready to buy a new car.
