Look at Avalon from 2000 thru 2008.
Of all the things to say here, I'm going to just remind you it was an early intro (FEB 2005 ) of a 2006 MYR fully eligible for 2006 MYR awards etc.
Comparision tests do not care about date of introduction unless specifically stated.
Sure, in the sense that the initial advertorials were nice - which is SOP in the biz these days - falling ad revenues donch'a know - besides which all that was completely superceded by you know, stories like this:

Setting aside some of your error here, you may want to get familiar with Toyotas current plans for the Avalon - get a calender and use it. |
I am not sure what you are getting at. You said the Avalon has faded away from any kind of "strong, favorable review." It got strong reviews in its MY 2005 introduction. It has remained mechanically the same since then. Why would a car magazine test the same car in 2008 that they already tested in 2005?
I think I misinterpreted you. I guess when say "leave it out to rot," you are referring to not taking care of quality issues? If so, then yes, Toyota did not do its job.
By the way, what are Toyota's plans for the Avalon?
