Here it is, the car Toyota hoisted by crane into the New York International Auto Show. It’s the Avalon sedan, and it’s also the first car that makes it clear the Japanese automaker is bent on changing its boring image.
With a bulging chromed lower grille at the front and and a sloping rear, it’s clear there’s some four-door coupe in he 2013 Avalon. Compared to the old car, it’s also smaller, most notable n the overall length, where 2.3-inches (60 mm) have been lost, but the wheelbase has remained the same.

The 2013 Avalon brings more space for the passengers, both in the front and the back. Toyota also says they’ve improved the ride comfort and the handling of the sedan. It now features three distinctive driving modes (Normal, Eco and Sport) that change throttle and steering feel.

We have no pricing information, as this will be revealed together with the powertrain option towards the end of the year.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
