Funny that the Avalon gets criticized for years as being boring and a geezer cruiser... Toyota changes the mission and goes after the Maxima, and people complain about the ride quality. Come on!
This new Avalon is quite simply not the same car as it was before. The direction changed... it's as simple as that. Most of the people I see driving them are 40-50 year old men, not the same 70+ crowd as the old Avalon. Sales are still out of the water, a few years into the product cycle, so it's clear that Toyota has a very successful product here - firmer ride or not
I've driven the new Avalon and really like it. If they had an AWD option and scratched that weird "plate" on the center console, I'd really consider buying one. I love how the car looks and feels.

true, when defining 'geezermobiles' as hugely heavy, floating, land barges.
also true.

Well, on the other side if there was a market for geezermobiles, then Lincoln or Cadillac might offer them? I highly doubt they would sell in the current climate and the brand image looks bad because of these cars.

1. Avalon sales are up, not flat or down, so its hard to say that the changes they made hurt their sales. You see me ***** about the ES' interior. Well...people buy a ton of them, so what is my complaining good for? Nothing.
2. Cadillac XTS sales are on par with the best years of the last version DTS. So, again, hard to say Cadillac made a mistake by axing it.
3. Lincoln MKS Sales are higher than the last few years of Town Car sales, despite it being ourdated at this point. Hard to say Lincoln made a mistake.
As you remember, I have posted sources for this before...these are facts.
Carry on
