I'm sorry... that interior is gorgeous. I mean, it's a great blend of old school and new school styling.

The exterior hasn't completely grabbed me yet. I don't know if it's too revolutionary or I'm just being too conservative.

Junkster, who would drive it

This car looks awesome from the back.

That exterior styling is

This is my favorite picture. Looks agressive as hell.

That's what I mean... in some ways, the car does look aggressive and stylish... but in other ways, it seems too radical of a departure from the 'stately' demeaner of the MB badge.

Totally split on this exterior design... I think it's the front grill that kinda turns me off. I bet the visibility out of the greenhouse in that thing is not so good, with such small windows. I like the profile, though, the lines look long and athletic, instead of heavy and bulky (ie RR Phantom).

Junkster, who wouldn't , but maybe just

It's a big car so it's a little hard to hide its dimensions but I think it looks pretty sexy. The interior is not much different than my boss' S-class.

hmmm...exterior (side profile) is banana-like to me...

That phone pad in center console is so stupid IMO. It would be a useless bunch of buttons unless you get their cell phone service.

Well I love this car inside and out.

Sorry, OT...

Sick, have you seen the supposed new JDM Avalon (I forget, has another name) on Car Spy? Looks pretty sick, in a good way.

Junkster, whose glad sick dropped in

That command screen seems awfully low - everyone else puts their screens higher up in the dash.
Like their other cars, the trick will be to work out all of the electronic bugs before it hits the showrooms.

Link please...

This car is definitely hot.

Yup, those were the pics. The rear has that Elantra thing going, much like the RL... Is it some new trend in Japan to have that strange butt on cars? The interior is very nice IMO and almost at Lexus quality... I heard the interior space is similar to that of the LS, which would mean a pretty big car. The new 6 in the car supposedly produces 270 hp which wouldn't make it fast by no means, but not underpowered as well.

My father has a thing for the Avalon... I'll have to show him this new one.

oh, and here's my fave forum to lurk on... hehe, I don't have the nerves to become a member in another forum... this one takes priority.

Junkster, who likes the pretty pics... ps... 6000... so close.

do it, Do It, DO IT!

early congrats to Junkster

jlukja, who'se PW idol is Junkster

Ah, thanks. BTW, those later pics posted by sic is not the Avalon, it's one of Toyota's many other JDM models, the Crown Majesta. It's RWD and comes with a V8...there's no way it could be an Avalon over here.

That Mercedes is extremely gorgeous. I have a feeling when I am 55 and done with my mortgage, i will be able to cruise around in one of those bad boys with my grand kids in the back.

ya. you've got the same problem in the Saab.
