Due out in Oct/Nov.

Have not found any photo's yet either.

My dealer told me Toyota rep. came in last week showed them photo's on ipad but would not let them keep or copy photo's..He said it will look very nice..nothing like the current model...

 

Hope that is true. I mean why did they change the front end and rear and calling that a new look. If anything, it was refreshed. They are supposedly going to make it more euro style which I am completely fine with but I do hope they keep the LED tail lights. I love that on the current avy

 

2013 model will also be offered in a Hybrid version

 

2013 will be out late september if im not mistaken. Im excited to see these as im starting a new job at a nice Toyota dealership by my house in 2 weeks

 

I really hope they redesign the engine and tranny. The v6 has been used for 6-7 years already.

 

It's still the best and smoothest engine available..

The Avalon can do 0-60 in less then 6 seconds.. Normal aspirated 3.5 is better than turbocharged Ford 3.5 Ecoboost.. Lol

The 2GR-FE is extremley smooth, refined, velvety and unruffled engine.. And fuel efficient..

What else do you want?

 

Here is a spy shot of the rear. It's looks hot!!

Does that look like the rear of a current gen Hyundai Sonata to anyone? Needless to say I hope they get it right with the restyle as many newer cars don't look as nice in current gen offerings to me. I perfer the previous Camry, 4runner, and Tacoma to the current ones. And I had a 3rd gen Acura TL, after seeing the 4th gen it is horrid in comparison. I hope the new Avalon doesn't follow a similar path as I like the most recent redesign, hopefully they can keep it classy and clean looking.

 

And here's the teaser for the next gen Avalon

 

And here's the teaser for the next gen Avalon

From the spy shots I saw, it has a "slight resemblance" to this drawing. Rear tail lights are different and the sloped not as drastic, but those wheels...you won't see them that deep in this car. Nice, but wishful thinking!! Ha..we'll see in NYs Auto Show next week...

 

I just wanted to point out that there will be alot more wood trim. I was browsing the spy shots again and I noticed that the dash and gauges are completely redesigned.

Also could someone please tell me they see a red line on the tach cause I dont see one

I'm sorry to see they've succumbed to the Christmas Lights Around the Headlights fad..... hate that.

The Avalon always had the silly "old man's" car perception foisted on it because it offered substance over advertising flash.

Despite all the tv ads, you may have noticed, unless you spend weekends at a racetrack, that the difference in your daily drive between being in a Yaris and a BMW M3 really isn't that great. Between the density of traffic and the quality of most roads these days, there's really not much opportunity to "feel the performance" in a car.

So what matters? Boring things, like safety, reliability, durability and comfort.

An Avalon is going to be far better than a Yaris on a 14-hour highway cruise simply because it's quieter and smoother, so less taxing to travel in.

But yes, by advertising propaganda standards, those are "old man" values. The fact that many younger people have tuned into their relevance as well may be a sign we're all getting savvier about car buying.

An Avalon that is comfortable and near-indestructible and spacious and that will go 400,000 miles and last 20 years is a threat to the rest of the auto industry.

Let's keep our focus on the topic, 2013 Avalon
anyone know when Toyota will provide detail to the public? During Auto show? if so where?

 

Toyota Avalon - Front Angle, 2013

It's beautiful! But of course the haters are already hating....... Over at motortrend and others....

 

Beautiful?

KIA Optima Part II - but the styling is not all that bad. Both are quite attractive.

Optima. Ford Fusion. Chevy Impala... it's going to be hard to tell which is which. Won't really matter much. The average buyer for the Avalon is 66 years old. Hopefully this redesign will help that...

 

I Dunno How I Feel About It Yet...The 11/12 Model Just Grew On Me....The Grill Reminds Me Of The New Camry(Which I HATE!!)...I Like The Back End...Props On The Interior...Still Has That Spaceship Look...I'm Considering Hitting The Auto Show This Weekend....

 

Funny thing this Avalon is more flashy and "in your face" compared to the new Lexus ES350.. But the Lexus ES350 looks better..

Though this looks good, much nicer looking then the Hyundai Azera

 

How about the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid? Think Toyota saw this when they designed the 2013 Avalon?

 

2013 Avalon debuted at NY auto show on 4/5/2012. Go to www.toyota.com for the big show. Available "later" this year. I will be shopping to replace my '05.

 

true, they all look the same now... but i really love the Avalon's interior.....and we (sorry about this) now have a Ford Explorer, hence why I have been absent from the forums for a while, but it has the touch sensitive buttons for MyFord Touch. They arent the really fancy gloss ones, but the ones a step below, and they are just like whats in this new avalon, and i love them! So I like this interior, love the side profile and rear end, but the front is something unique to my eye, and I actually really find it attractive...

 

Absolutely beautiful interior. Nothing will beat it for the price. I mean it has leather just about all over the place. Simple design yet elegant. NICE chrome trim unlike Buicks where every single part of the car is doused in chrome. Let the haters hate. Honestly, the only competition against the Avalon are Audi/ Mercedes/ and Lexus ( Hard to believe it will compete against its parent company) Nothing comes close to this in terms of price and what you get for it.

 

Dam I wonder what my 2011 will bring trade? This is a nice car and I don't think there is a true competitor. If you compare in price the E class MB, G class Infinity or the Lexus all are 10/15k more for no more room or amenities than the Avalon.

 

I would have to see it in person but in pics the exterior reminds me too much of a sonata.. interior is sexy though nice and classy and definite step up from the current gen.

 

Sonata? Looks nothing like the sonata.. Maybe in photos, but I'm sure if they're side by side in person then you'll notice that they're not as similar as you think..

 

The Azera has a grumpy look to it, and the azera may have integrated pipes, but the Avalon's pipes look much better executed...

 

From the rear, it looks like at of the above and a partially Dodge Charger. Those exhausts? I talked to my service rep at Toyota yesterday, the tail pipes are show, (look nice) but add nothing to the performance. I was told only 2 models, no more XL, but who knows later. That crazy emblem DOES make it look a little like a Hyundai. Still don't know whats under the hood? .....Hmmmm

 

I like the side profile, rear deck and inside look "nice" who knows, maybe all hard plastic just like some current Toyota.

The front looks like the current Camry which is not my favor (the new Toyota face?). Now, I wonder if toyota, Kia, ford.... have designers work together, trading idea. How come everyone is coming up with same style, front, back, even to the light. OK not 100% but very close, don't you guys agree?

 

Well they declined to answer any questions about powertrain. Maybe new v6? It would be sensible since that engine has been used for a long time.

@ the Hyundai and Kia. They copied Toyota. People are quick to jump onto something but resistant to change their mind. Btw styling was done by the Calty group so if you say they copied Hyundai/Kia, thats like saying Calty copied the same design of some concept that hasnt been designed yet by Hyundai/Kia

It is the other way around :whatwhat:
