Toyota previews new Avensis
Toyota will use the upcoming Paris Motor Show in October to unveil its redesigned flagship model for Europe, the Avensis. Think of it as the old country's version of the Avalon. Though we only have a rear 3/4 shot to go by, the new Avensis looks considerably more chunky than the current model, with a short deck lid, large rear tail-lights, a strong shoulder line and some interesting concave surfacing above the side sills. We don't know much else, other than that it will be offered with more powerful and cleaner engines when it goes on sale in Europe around January.
Toyota also announced that it will be bringing out the production version of its iQ city car and the Urban Cruiser for the Paris show. The Urban Cruiser is basically a ruggedized, soft-roading version of the Scion xD, while the iQ is based on the concept of the same name that debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2007.

This looks more like a replace of the aurion (see pic below) than the avalon!
If it is a replace for the avalon for europe, then the US would prob see it as teh new Avalon. Isnt the avalon out of production now?

It is same class car as Mazda6 and Passat in Europe, we dont have Camry, Avalon or any of those larger sedans...
Few things that are interesting for US buyers:
- 6AT for diesel engines (wasnt avail before)
- new 1.8 Valvematic engine with 147hp vs 132hp in dual vvti engine.
Otherwise, this more luxurious yet smaller than Camry...
