2002 Toyota Avalon
Body style(s): 4-door sedan
Trim Levels: XL, XLS
MSRP range: $25,845-$30,405
Notes: In its third year, no notable changes were made to the Avalon;
prices remained constant. Of more significance was the redesigned Camry,
which pushed itself almost directly into the Avalon's niche. Now sharing
an identical wheelbase to the Avalon, the Camry was almost as large in
its interior, with a bigger trunk, and a lower price, while sharing almost
all of the Avalon's features. Thus began an identity crisis for the
Toyota-brand flagship. Avalon still shared its platform with several
Camry relatives (notably the Solara coupe).
