Toyota Avalon
The Toyota Avalon is a large automobile model produced by Toyota in the United States and Australia, originally based on the technology of the then-current Toyota Camry.
The first Toyota Avalon rolled off the assembly line in Georgetown, Kentucky on September 13, 1994 as a 1995 model. A second-generation model was released in the United States and Japan in 1999.
The original, first-generation Avalon continues to be built in Australia in the Melbourne suburb of Altona, made in both right hand drive for Australia, New Zealand and some parts of Asia, and left hand drive for the Middle East. The Camry is also made at this same plant, most for export.
The Australian Avalon is now in what Toyota calls its Mark III phase, with a mild facelift for the 2004 model year, though it is based on the same car that was launched in the US in 1994.
2006
A new Avalon will be introduced to the public at the 2005 North American International Auto Show for a model year 2005 release. It will feature a 3.5 L V6.
