Toyota creates a version of the Avalon that no one wants yet doesn’t create a version of the Supra that everyone wants.

[@mahu142]

Modifiying an existing car is easy, developing a new one is way harder. The Supra everyone wants costs million to develop, as they cannot let it built and develop entirely by BMW as they did on the actual model

[@smart1sf]

The Lexus LC should have been the supra

[@AzaanPD]

This thing only costs $5,000 less than a Supra

[@obidean3964]

@@mahu142 Dude, they're the biggest automaker in the world and yet they whine on huge cost to make a car wearing such a halo name. That's the case with every carmaker, their halo car always embodiment of what they can do at best albeit at huge cost. Yeah, I admit it's a great sports car and they made some unique tuning on their own but do you think it's enough for a freaking new gen Supra. From switches, knob, steering wheel, iDrive, gearbox to the freaking engine all shared from Z4. Supra name has bigger impact than Toyota name will ever be. It shouldn't exist if it's a rebadged after all. I'm fine with rebadged Corolla or Camry or whatever boring cars they made but a flagship product. Hmm, no bruh. What are they thinking? Supra should be stopped and remembered as a legend but somehow get reincarnated as a rebadged German instead. I'm sorry if I sound a bit offensive but no hard feeling to you bro. Cheers ...

This is coming from a car guy in his early 40’s coming off a back to back ownership of a 2011 and 2016 GTI which I loved. The 2021 new colors and additions like the black roof make this car look even better. And I had two red GTI’s back to back. I got the color ice edge and it is friggin sharp. My advice before you trash something, go take a look at it in person. If it does it for you drive it. You might be surprised to find a very limited diamond in the rough.

Dear Dougy, Your sarcasm on the review of your Avalon limited is priceless. I love all your reviews of your supercars but I was taken back when I saw you doing the sublime Avalon. It was informative but hilarious. I love you to death. Especially when I am feeling down. Your reviews pick me up. You are definitely the best at car reviews. You are the pinnacle of car reviews. They should pay you the big bucks if they aren't and give you periodic raises. Supercar Blondie makes some gaffs, and those others can't get close.

They've created these TRD versions along with more dynamic base models to shed the older person's image of previous Avalons & Camrys. So more younger buyers is the target audience to likely utilize a larger percentage of the market.

About 14 years ago, Toyota made the TRD Aurion, for the Australian and NZ market, it had a TRD specific bodykit just like this one but with an added Supercharger producing 257kw or 344 Bhp, I really don’t get why Toyota don’t do more in the performance sector these days, like they did with the Aurion TRD, maybe because they know these things will never see the track?

I happen to like the look of this car. The grill is rather gaudy, but other than that I’d drive this car. I’ve had two Avalon’s previously and have thoroughly enjoyed them. And I’m only in my 40’s. But I like it that everyone thinks of this car as an “Old Person’s” car, because the secret gets kept at how great of cat these really are. And you can get a really good deal on them. Plus you save at least 10K on the Lexus variant and badge.
