The Windy City hosts the largest auto show in North America
2011 Toyota Avalon
What it is: A spacious and
smooth full-size sedan that bridges the gap between family car and
luxury cruiser.
What’s New: The 2011 Toyota
Avalon is restyled inside and out. Even more conservatively styled than
it was, the new body won’t inspire passion. Owners will love the
interior, though. It adds a class-exclusive reclining rear seat, plus
additional standard equipment that includes Bluetooth phone and audio
connectivity, XM satellite radio and an iPod interface.
Bottom Line: The next Avalon
will certainly be a pleasant car when it arrives this spring, but it
won’t be the product hit Toyota needs to help consumers forget about
the company’s recall woes.
