Now this is interesting!
Avalon XSE being replaced with Nightshade model

I wonder if this edition will have the same overall equipment (including the tighter suspension than the XLE).

It will be cool to have an XSE moving forward since they won’t be making any more of them. I look forward to seeing what the new editions will look like.

I always thought the XSE was a weird trim level. It looked identical to the touring (save the lights and optional equipment) and could be had for a substantial discount when they first came out. As a result I didn’t think the Touring was worth the coin. I would have felt differently if the touring was the only way to get those wheels and grille.

I doubt it. I think the XSE Avalon stepped on too many toes. It looked like a Touring and had an aggressive suspension and exhaust, which makes it an appealing alternative to the TRD.

This will either be an XSE that is rebadged or it will be a slightly hopped-up and darker XLE.
