The 2019 Avalon is nearly here... and still there is no AWD standard or optional. If there is no AWD option for the now huge Camry there should be AWD available on this model that is even larger.
Or... Toyota could start selling the RWD/AWD Mark X sedan here instead of the Avalon... ;D

Direction of the light fade does not make sense. I understand why they did it like they did, they've managed to overcome the obsolete obstacle in regulation. I think better solution would have been to have the trunk part static and outer part that dims down from top to bottom but once trunk is open directional dim gets overridden by even fade.

Kinda cool turn signals for a Toyota. Can’t wait to see it. Buick should have some concern when this Avalon is released.

Although, of course, this is the first time we've seen them with modern LEDs, the general idea of sequential turn signals is nothing new. My dad had a 1965 Thunderbird with them, and they were used extensively in 60s-vintage T-Birds and Mercury Cougars....and on some recent Mustangs. GM did not adopt the system because they felt it was confusing to other drivers. I disagree; at least I had no problem deciphering it.

Audi gets around this in the U.S. by lighting up the brake light as the turn signal, and then the concurrent motion LED can just be the additional flair. In other countries Audi can get by with just the swiping LED light indicator.

Yeah, sorry......technically, you're right. But my point was that the general idea is nothing new. I can remember sequential turn-lights on Ford products from a half-century ago. Personally, I think they are merely a gimmick.

New Avalon details here:
Looks very frumpy...
That front end /facepalm
The back looks very robo...but not feeling the side lines at all!
Interior looks a little disjointed... plasticy in some places, and ok in others.
Overall...Tried too hard on the exterior to make the crazy Camry normalized, but that gaping maw though!
