As others posted I like the rear but not the front.
I don't like the dash at all. It looks dated. Almost every new designed car has the Navigation screen up near the windshield, so you don't have to take you eye off the road as much (as in the center of the dash). I think the Lexus ES is way nicer !

The Avalons screen is about the same height as the windshield wiper stalk.

with the separate lcd screens for climate control and the nav screen, i think it looks more "techy" which is to my taste.
and after looking at the 2012 Avalon, it does appear to be a "natural" progress of the interior design,

where as the 2013 es350/300h just wiped the slate clean.

I have yet to read one sentence from any magazine about ugly Avalon and especially about cheap interior, in fact every single review was extremely positive about interior and quite few mentioned it is actually nicer than ES (and they all dissed previous Toyota interiors, so it is not like Toyota subscribed to good reviews in that regard).
It would be actually cool if you could find some time in next 2-3 weeks to go and check it out in real life and tell us how it felt in person, and much appreciated too (if you could find time). As this is the future of Toyota interiors, and similar things will be found in many future Toyota's, like Rav4 and others.

the A7 is better executed and better proportioned with a longer hood
the cab-forward look of the avalon makes it look like a boat
however, the front angle can be good looking with the Jaws grille.... other than the white lipstick-

Ignoring all commentary from haters that don't even own Toyota or Lexus but keep posting as well others that haven't seen it in person but argue as if they have.
From the pictures and reviews,other than the front grill, this would be a car I would seriously look at if shopping for one at the moment.
PS: I notice that the Corolla style clock is still there though.
