I'm registered on Camryman.org as SuperCharged, and I'm the one who posted that picture. Toyota insiders have said that IS indeed the new Avalon. Things to expect- 3.5L V-6 with 270HP/285 lb-ft of torque and a 5AT with sequential shift. It'll be LS430 sized with options like Xenon headlights, rear reclining seats and power sunshades. It will remain FWD and on a stretched Camry chassis, but might offer AWD.
That's all we know for now.

Yeh, the solara interior is nice. My friend picked it over the accord. The shifter looks great, and so does the console.

I actually think this new Avalon looks good from the photos that were posted.
I'm not a huge fan of the current car - but this new one might deserve a look over an ES330 if size/space ever becomes a concern for me.

3.5L and 270 HP for an Avalon? I paid almost $44K for I-6 and 220 HP.

I agree with the comments that this new avalon looks like parent of the Prius.

I don't know but to me it looks pretty much like this http://www.toyota.de/showroom/avensis_2003/gallery.html
Avensis is there to fight Mazda6, A4, Passat ...
***** load of options are offered in it. It is a lux Toyota in Europe.

You also got RWD though, as well as some of the top luxury goodies and quality on the market. I'd choose the 220HP I6 GS300 over a FWD 270HP Avalon.
