CARS.COM — Proclaiming “New year, new attitude,” Toyota has revealed that the all-new-for-2019 Avalon family sedan will have — wait for it — sequential taillights! Let’s look at one.
That new, more aggressive attitude now says, “I’d like to speak to your manager” instead of “I’d like to speak to your manager, please.” Toyota is done being polite in 2018.
The automaker has already teased a headlight and part of the face of the new Avalon, but we know little else about the upcoming full-size sedan. What we do know is that sedan sales are on the downswing in the U.S. as more consumers switch to SUVs and crossovers.
We’ll have full details on the Avalon when it’s revealed at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, so check back with us later this month for more sequential taillights and all the other action straight from the exhibit floor.
