That is one large car...

Unfortunately, that's probably the only postive positive thing I can say about the exterior appearance. I'm sure the target buyers can't care less though.

Thanks for the excellent find, MPLexus301! Bring us some frontal shots too if you can!

Not bad to me. Its an Avalon, I don't expect it to be gorgous. I see large lettering on the trunk. I hate large lettering on the truck, its very ghey.

I see a cross between the new GS and a Diamante.

Never expected to see dual single exhaust pipes on the Avalon Hard to judge the whole car from just the side and rear quarter shots, but like flip said, it has a certain element of the new GS.

However, I anticipate the interior to be just as good, if not better, than that of the current ES

IMO it is better-looking than the present Avalon....which I never liked......but not as good-looking as the first-generation one introduced in 1994.

That was the first thought that ran through my head. Otherwise, I like it. I didn't expect too much out of it, anyway.

I agree, MKI Avalon is the best looking.

i like it alot, That car is perfect for someone with kids and doesn't want to ruin a nicer car, or want to spend the extra money on a "luxury" car (i.e. gs/ls/sclass/7series)

If i wanted a NEW car and wanted a large body "luxury" looking car,for less money,i would buy it.

If it was a darker color, with some nice rims, that would look hot.
