Replying to: bobgwtw (Apr 01, 2009 4:23 pm) On this board see post #23 dated Nov 16th... Japan always knows first as it's the home office where all major decisions are made. Only after the big decisions do the area people, like Toyota USA, get involved. My last discussion on this subject with the dealership connection did not provide anything new, just confirmed a different car...again. All spy pics welcome!

#89 of 171 2010/11 Avalon and Avalon Hybrid news by mffan310 May 03, 2009 (6:39 am)
Well, I went to the Toyota dealer yesterday to ask when they were going to get in the new 2010 Prius (answer was late May/early June), and I also asked about other new non-Prius product launches, particularly hybrids.   Turns out that the head salesguy at the dealer had just talked with the TMS Chicago Region rep, who had told him about three new Toyotas (2010/11 4Runner, Avalon/Avalon Hybrid, and Sienna/Sienna Hybrid). All will be launching in the fall (they were originally going to launch on the auto show circuit, but cost cuts in the auto biz, including at Toyota, put a halt to the plans).   Anyway, here's a few details of the 2010/11 Avalon: -One trim level, like Venza, with choice of packages. Toyota wants to make Avalon more affordable to appeal to younger buyers. -Choice of 3.5L V6 for gas model or new Hybrid model with 3.5L V6 + 3G Hybrid Synergy Drive. (Hybrid should get lower-mid 30s MPG combined city/highway.) -Many Lexus-like features, like Lane Keep Assist and Intelligent Park Assist, along with a roomier interior. -Production starts at TMMK in the fall.

Replying to: mffan310 (May 03, 2009 6:39 am) Love to get a US version of the Crown Majesta as the new Avalon:   http://toyota.jp/crownmajesta/exterior/garally/index.html   In any case, looking forward to seeing any spy pics of a new Avalon. Anybody seen anything around Toyota Sales in Torrance, CA? Western Ave. and 190th St. Replies to this message: ncee (May 27, 2009 10:29 am) bwia (May 27, 2009 2:25 pm) ncee (May 31, 2009 5:24 am)

#92 of 171 Crown Majesta[kenb757] by bwia May 27, 2009 (2:25 pm)
Replying to: kenb757 (May 27, 2009 7:40 am) The 5th. generation Crown MAJESTA (S180) is a huge V-8, rear-wheel drive car weighing in excess of 4,000 lbs and costing more than $69,000. Nice car, but probably above the price point for a Toyota. Read more at http://www.answers.com/topic/toyota-crown-majesta Replies to this message: ncee (May 31, 2009 5:24 am)

#94 of 171 Alternatives to the Avalon by mcclearyfl May 31, 2009 (5:49 am)
Speculating on Toyota's Japanese models as replacements for the Avalon is a lot of fun, but the reality is very different. The Avalon is a North America-only model, and probably doesn't have the sales volume that would justify its existence, except for one thing. It is manufactured at the same Georgetown Kentucky plant as the Camry, and there are procurement and manufacturing synergies that make the car worthwhile from a profit perspective.   Any significant deviation from its Camry-derived platform and running gear would put the Avalon in an unsustainable market position.

Replying to: mcclearyfl (May 31, 2009 5:49 am) I believe the Avalon is currently using the old Camry platform (2006) as basically the Avalon body hasn't changed since 2005. So maybe at least they will be changing over to the new body.   Of course I could be wrong if the 2005 Avalon got the new body before the Camry?

#96 of 171 U.S. Avalon sales numbers[houdini1] by bwia Jun 01, 2009 (5:29 am)
Replying to: houdini1 (May 31, 2009 8:17 am) As the chart shows with each passing year sales of a model declines so based upon historial precedence the Avalon cannot survive unless a new model is introduced.   US Calendar Year Sales 2000 --104,078 2001 --83,005 2002 --69,029 2003 --50,911 2004 --36,460   2005 --95,318 2006 --88,938 2007 --72,945 2008 --42,790
