You'd think that after dispatching a whole crew of Sciontologists to attract the eye of America's youth, Toyota would leave their core products alone. After all, there are plenty of folks out there who just want to transport themselves from Carrow's to the 18th hole in peace and quiet, many of them loaded with a half-century's worth of accumulated income collecting dust in their savings accounts. Shouldn't automakers be all over them like lawyers on an ambulance?Nope. Age is a mark of shame in this culture and all automakers are locked in a race to the bottom of the median-customer-age barrel. Every new car nowadays has to be harder, faster, and more emotional than before, or haven't you noticed? Although the new Avalon is essentially a stretched version of the latest Camry (again), it packs 88 more horsepower than the first one, there's a first-ever Touring model, and the body is a lot more chiseled. All these moves should further Toyota's stated goal of dropping its average Avalon customer from a tired 67 to a frisky 60.
