Toyota Sketches Out 2013 Avalon [New York Auto Show]

Just in time for dinner in Boca Raton, Toyota has released a sketch of the next-gen Avalon. The cushy sedan will debut next week at the New York auto show. Just as we saw in recent photos of a prototype 2013 Avalon undergoing testing, the Avalon in the sketch has a generously sloped rear roofline and a short rear deck. The Camry will once again supply the Avalon with a platform, just as Hyundai's Sonata supports the Azera, the Avalon's closest competitor. Despite the dowdy image of any mainstream, full-size sedan—Dodge Charger excluded—the segment still racks up considerable sales: The outgoing and crusty Avalon pushed an impressive 29,000 units through the door last year. Check back here for full coverage of the Avalon—and even some exciting cars—from New York. from Car and Driver Blog http://blog.caranddriver.com
