Avalon

The Avalon continues for 2005 with only minor updates asToyota 's larger, roomier and more luxurious counterpart to the Camry. In addition to richer styling and a smoother and quieter ride, the Avalon offers something no other import sedan (and few domestics, for that matter) can match - an available front bench seat for six-passenger capability. The Camry's 3.0-liter V-6 engine provides an adequate 210 horsepower, and it works well with the car's four-speed automatic transmission. Standard equipment includes four-wheel-disc anti-lock brakes, front-side airbags, dual-zone air conditioning, a cassette/CD stereo, cruise control, and alloy wheels. The top XLS trim level adds such amenities as an auto-dimming rearview mirror, heated outside mirrors, a garage-door opener, keyless entry, a premium audio system, and power seats. Vehicle Stability Control and a rear DVD entertainment system are optional.
