“While the 2011 Toyota Avalon looks like a cushy luxury cruiser, it can perform-at least on the straight.” — The Car Connection
“The Avalon floats smoothly down the road, the cabin undisturbed by rougher stretches of pavement. It's one of those things that give the Avalon a sense of luxury beyond its price.” — Cars.com
“The Avalon isn't much larger than the Camry-there's an extra 1.7 inches at the wheelbase, 8.4 inches overall, and just over an inch more in width; but it feels roomier, especially in the back, and remains a Lexus in everything but its grille badge.” — Car and Driver
“...the Avalon was pretty soggy when I had to swerve to avoid a dead raccoon on a two-lane road, and I was driving the Toyota for some panning-shot photos and managed to pretty much fry the brakes after three or four successive stops from 80 or 90 mph.” — Automobile
