 usnews.com: Auto reviews: 2005 Toyota Avalon (6/15/05)
The Avalon is long and lean, with angular creases along the hood that create a hint of the chiseled look that has set Cadillac apart.
That's enough to make Toyota marketing gurus jump in the air and shout, "Oh, what a feeling!" The Avalon has always been a pleasant, comfortable sedan for people who want a Camry with a bit more space.
The Avalon's maneuverability hits a sweet spot, too: The car is sturdy and substantial at cruising speeds, yet limber in parking lots and other tight spaces.

 TechnoFile drives the Toyota Avalon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Lexus GS300 AWD I drove the week before I tried the Avalon is a much nicer car (and, for about thirty grand more, it should be!), but the supposedly sporty Lexus sedan’s response when spurred on by the gas pedal is more sedate than what you get from this big, supposedly dignified sedan.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course, and I’ve always thought the Avalon to be the most repellent of Toyota’s sedans, a big slab of car with a front end (especially on the second generation) reminiscent of a cow catcher or maybe a battering ram.
The new Avalon is still a big car, but it comes clothed in a very handsome new skin that reminds me a bit of the new Cadillac models, but smoother, and with a healthy dose of the Camry thrown in, but more attractive than Toyota’s midsized sedan.

Toyota made a similar move with its second-generation Solara coupe and convertible, endowing them with Lexus-like materials and superb styling details in the cabin, so the upscale move in the brand's flagship Avalon was expected.
Toyota's presentation stage was right at the opposite end of the giant Detroit auto show complex, as usual, a dedicated hall it uses for all debuts year after year.
Toyota, in its wisdom, saved seats right up front for those with cameras, so I joined my comrades, many of which no doubt brought their digital SLRs along if only to get the best seats in the house.

 CanadianDriver: Test Drive - 2005 Toyota Avalon XLS (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The new Avalon, which starts at $39,000 in XLS trim, is the product of the Toyota Technical Centre, the company's U.S.-based facility that had full control over the Avalon's redesign.
Part of the redesign process was to extensively interview current Avalon owners and Toyota dealers, many of whom participated in in-depth consultations, to determine what the Avalon represented to them and how they'd like to see it developed into the future.
According to Toyota, the results of these surveys and meetings played a major role in the development of the new Avalon, created by a North American team that was given full and unprecedented control over the design and engineering of the car.

 2005 Toyota Avalon - Road Test & Review - Automobile Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
But Toyota has managed to keep kids interested in Scions and the Matrix, so the Avalon, its flagship sedan, is comfortably aimed at the generation that still thinks a dub is something you rub in a tub.
The Avalon is the first Toyota that is not only styled and built in the United States but is also completely engineered here.
In typical Toyota fashion, switches and controls are exactly where you'd expect them, and the interior is cavernous and modern without trying to be avant-garde.

 2005 Toyota Avalon Car Reviews - The Car Connection
The Avalon is a big car that weighs in between 3490 and 3600 pounds depending on trim level, so its so-so 22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway EPA mileage ratings are reasonable.
If Toyota had bought up the planet's dwindling supply of 1980 Oldsmobile Omegas and planted this sweet-natured drivetrain into those rusting hulks it could probably… ah forget it, that joke was going nowhere.
Whatever the trim level, the Avalon interior is at least as nice as the ES330's and the Limited (which includes a "Smart Key System" which allows the car to be started when the key is merely in the driver's pocket) is even more comprehensively equipped.
