Default The Next Toyota Crown ?




At least from these illustration, it looks like Toyota might go after the Mercedes CLS with the redesigned Crown sedan.

The Crown shares a lot with our Lexus GS model, so it could never make it over here.
It's kind of too bad.

it would make a great Avalon...

Front is a copy of the New LS. Rear is the current Altima with a Bangle butt twist. Hopefully these pics are just arbitrary chops.

Yes it would. The Avalon is great and already has a good distinct presence on the road.

Too bad they didn't make the new ES look like this; Toyota made a foo-foo with making it look too similar to the new Camry...

That is the Majesta Crown, from the back that would mean it would compete with the LS, as the Royal Crown competes with the GS

Crown is RWD, similar chassis as the Lexus IS/GS/LS.

Avalon i am not sure, i guess similar to ES350 / Camry.
