This could be the next Toyota Avalon. I'd rock it. :thumbs:

[badassgrandam99]

it most likely is the next Avalon... the taillights, size, and shape make me think that it is... i just don't like how Toyota blatently copied the Nissan style grille with the vertical bar in the middle, even if it isn't chrome like the Nissans...

[95-GT]

looks like a Mercedes to me. can you say...copycats?

Especially since the Maxima's fat grill divider looks like complete ass.

Profile looks like an extended and updated IS300 to me. I'd pimp it. Looks like RWD v6 too, prolly has a bit of power if they wantt to keep up.

..i think it looks way too big to be an update IS300...

It's the new Camixamary.

"Extended" is the key word in my quote.

...true... but i would think that if Toyota were going to do a concept of the IS300 for the Japanese market they'd go with it's Japanese name, Altezza... if i'm not mistaken Toyota already does sell a car named Crown over in Japan...

[95-GT]

looks like this to me

The Crown concept looks similar to the LS430 we have here. But since Toyota has an LS version down there and this crown has less features than the LS, my guess is that this car may be our Avalon replacement. If so, what a change in looks. And if you look at the headlights, it looks similar to the current Avalon's headlights.

Uh, I'll pass on that. Looks like another rip-off of somebody elses car. *cough* Nissan and Benz put together *cough*.

Not trying to be mean, but why is that only Asian automakers seem to like to rip-off other auto companies car designs for ex:

Accord: rear looks like a cheap Benz.
350Z: Rip-off of a Audi TT and Por. 911
Lexus Roadster: big time rip off of the TT
Honda Element: lets rip-off the ugliest car in the world but make it worse, the Aztek
and then this car: The Nissan that slept with a Benz.
*please don't make me mention a ton more my wrists are tired*

If any European or American car makers did this, boy there would be alot of crap thrown around in the auto mags. about it.

Whats next: the Jag./Audi-Honda product?

*the crown symbol reminds me of the "Family Truckster" in the National Lampoon Vacation Movie:D *

[IrateSpeed6]

Is anyone else wondering what the connection to Pina Farina is?

[naich]

it looks sort of like the last generation Mitsubishi Diamonte (or howevery ou spell it) with the front and rear shots.

THANK YOU WOLF\

I agree 100% with you. The Celica looks like the Cougar to me

[Vintalage]

Looks good whatever the case. It has a lexus type look to it.

Tell me 95-GT, where is the E-class design in this car? Show me where it looks like the E-class.

[95-GT]

It looks like it to me...the whole thing
