2005 Toyota Avalon XLS (Video Clip)

It was not so long ago that people would have had a difficult time believing that a Japanese manufacturer could create a large, comfortable and luxurious automobile. Well, they have been doing it for a while now and they have become really good at it.In 1995, Toyota first introduced the Avalon and it was basically a big Camry. It shared many components such as the engine and transmission. It was never a huge seller but it always retained a good resale value and turned out to be a very reliable car, new or used. In 2000, Toyota renewed the Avalon and addressed the few comments that they had received on the car: a little too bland and could use more power. They also made it a little bigger to further differentiate it from the Camry. The then new Avalon was still insipid and generated little interest.
