The Avalon is Toyota's largest passenger car, offering a plush interior, state-of-the-art electronics and a reputation for durability and resale unmatched in its class. Some refer to the Avalon as a Japanese Buick, a term both endearing and foreboding for GM. But unlike the previous generation car, the 2006 Avalon is as American as mom's apple pie; having been designed in America by an American, and assembled at Toyota's Georgetown, Kentucky manufacturing plant. The Avalon's home-grown roots allow it to better cater to the needs of American families. From its wide front seats to its cavernous trunk to its stylish exterior, the Avalon is the new gold standard in the full-size family sedan arena.
