Judging by the front tire, this things been through some hard miles. Or they could be cheap and reuse old tires.

Just a stretched Camry? Hopefully the new Avalon and new ES have good dynamics and are as fun to drive as the latest Camry.
|
if it goes much more upscale, it will encroach on lexus es?
|
IMO, the Avalon has always been a stretched Camry. At least our '97 was. Same drive train, just a different body.
Don't worry about it encroaching on the ES. They'll come out with a new one so the $3k-$5k difference will be retained..... |
isn't this a low volume seller?
rear stance looks good. interesting they're benchmarking a KIA cadenza. Never thought korean cars would be the standard for comparison. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...6b39f747ec.jpg |
2019 ES probably has a 300hp V6

This isn't the 1990s. Kia has made enormous advances in the last 15-20 years, and, today, is turning out some the best products available for the money, especially in exterior/interior hardware, fit/finish, and the solid way they are screwed together. In fact, IMO, cheap lightweight interior plastic hardware was one of the major problems of the last Avalon redesign, for 2014 (along with a too-stiff-ride for most of its typical buyers)...but Toyota addressed at least some of that with the 2016 mid-generation refreshening.

15-20 years is really stretching it; more like 10 years ago when peter schreyer moved over to the hyundai/kia group was when a lot of the improvements we now see in their products, from exterior and interior styling to powertrain enhancements came to fruition.

I am hoping that this next-generation Avalon has an understated, handsome styling, like the current-generation one has (despite what seems to be some funny sheet metal creases under the camouflage). |

In the U.S., of course (and perhaps some other countries), it gets competition from its own brother Lexus ES....which handily outsells it.
I am hoping that the next-generation Avalon Hybrid will be available in Canada; that will give me more choices for the replacement of my current ES Hybrid. |

Well, considering the 2018 Camry has the 301hp V6... I am expecting to see spy shots of the new ES soon.
