I prefer the Avensis though (which is considered as the pride of Toyota cars that are made in Europe).
Oh and that MMC facelift on the Avensis really improved the front grille (which was something that many people complained about of the older pre-facelift unit).
They should bring that car to ASEAN. Hey, they export this to Japan (yeah from Toyota UK Derbyshire to Japan, then they just install the radio unit in Japan).

here is Wagon... which is better looking actually... imho, probably one of the best looking wagons on the market in Europe. Upcoming facelift improves the front (first pic above is from facelift), which had slight issue with weird lights. But in general, Avensis looks much better in real life than in pics.

here she is . New images leaked. No more guessing. In my opinion it looks way to similar to the last generation but I think they are playing it safe with their best seller

While I like the look of the Avensis (premium look with the right wheels, perfect size), I'm sure it would not sell as well as the Camry in the US. Americans spend a lot more time and miles in cars, and our market wants something big and plain...something we won't mind putting a lot of wear and tear on.
Still would be nice to have a model like the Avensis sold in the US.

Then the Venza wouldn't be selling as much. We might as well just have a Camry wagon. The Venza is a heightened "wagon" crossover while the Avensis is a low sitting wagon based on a standard sedan. Americans are much more into crossovers than traditional wagons. Partly the image thing, but also the feeling of more utility.

Only in the pics it looks weird.
but in reality, Avensis appeals to the same demographics as Camry, just in Europe.
It was in fact built and designed for 40+ population.
Only difference is that it is sold in Europe, and you guys dont see it so it looks "cool".
Just like Camry in Europe looks good, when I see it once in a while.
Of course Avensis is much more expensive, it is TSX competition, so it has much better materials inside than Camry.
