| The 2019 Toyota Avalon Touring. |
When the first Toyota Avalon arrived 24 years ago, it was summed up by a lot of observers as the Japanese having built a better Buick. It was, after all, the closest thing Toyota had built to a luxobarge,
the late 70s through early 90s Cressida, a stodgily-styled sedan that could be had, in some years, with a velour interior, but which also had the same engine as
the sporty Supra under its hood.
You may have noticed that Toyota is working very hard to shake off its bland image of late. And for 2019, the Avalon, a new fifth-generation model, has gotten essentially
the same styling treatment the smaller Camry got last year.
