This combination is hard to beat.
 
Actually.... I don't think anyone has yet. The Avalon is now almost 4 years old and still at the top of the class. As for the bench seat don't see it returning anytime soon. My dealer told me that even on the prior generation they would never order the bench seat option. IMO bench seating is dead, the only cars I can even think of that still have it available are the Grand Marquis/CV/TC, the Lucerne and maybe the Impala. If they want to do anything to the seating in the Avalon make the seats more like the '00 - '04 they were fantastic.

The main reason I bought my 2000 Av was for the bench seat. Even if the front middle is not occupied, my right knee appreciates the xtra space. I was all set to buy the Camry until I drove the Avalon.

Although many of the models are being produced in the United States, Japan still contributes supply of most models. Georgetown, KY is the stateside home of the Avalon, as well as the camry. Which makes sense because the avalon is on a stretched camry frame. However, Japan still produces camrys. True, the yaris and land cruiser are made exclusively in japan. But then so is the Rav 4 (which is on the camry frame, and the Prius. And even though the Corolla has long come out of the California plant they share with GM, A good number of the 09' corollas have been coming from Japan.

Avalon Replacement? by geo123

I was checking out Toyota's web page and ran across their upcoming and concept vehicles. The Toyota Crown was shown as a concept vehicle which is a full size sedan curently sold in Japan. Does this indicate the Toyota Crown or a new version may be the Avalon replacement if we have one?

Personally I'm waiting for an A-BAT and Hybrid-X "crossbreed".
 
Love the look of the Hybrid-X, hate the look of the A-BAT, but LOVE the A-BAT's basic "pickup" concept.

You may be right. I just looked at the Avensis site. It's a 106" wheelbase with a four cylinder engine. The engine is more in tune with European standards.
 
On a different subject - one peeve of mine about my Avalons (2006 and 2008) is the massive blind spot on the driver's side. You have to really do a head turn and lane check before moving to the left, the mirrors don't adequately show a car on your left flank.
 
Still love the Avalon, think it's the best kept secret in the automotive world. Great ride, many hi-tech features, decent fuel economy and 4 inch longer WB than the Lexus. I would not trade my Avalon for a Lexus even swap.

If you adjust the mirrors the way the Car Talk guys indicate on their web site, it eliminates the blind spot on both sides of the car. The down side, of course, is that you have to readjust them for backing up. If you have memory mirrors (the Limited has them), it's quite easy to put them back into the "driving" position after backing up.

For what it's worth, I stopped by a local Toyota dealership last weekend, and while there I asked them if the 2010 year would be the last year of production for the Avalon... they actually seemed shocked. Told me that they hadn't heard anything from Toyota about the Avalon line being discontinued..

I got the same reaction at my local dealership. However, if the past is any indication, the 2009 model should be the last year for this generation of the Toyota Avalon. The first generation was from 1995 through 1999, the second generation from 2000 through 2004, and now the third generation from 2005 through 2009. I believe we will see something new for the fourth generation in 2010. I am wondering if it will be something like the Crown on the existing Avalon, Camry, and Lexus ES350 chassis. Would like to hear what others are projecting.
 
Thanks,
 
George
