    The 2020 Toyota Avalon TRD is a very strange sport sedan. Today I'm reviewing the Avalon TRD, and I'm going to show you all the weird quirks and features of one of the strangest sport sedans on the market. I'm also driving the Avalon TRD, and I'm going to show you what it's like to drive the 2020 Avalon TRD.

      this was me. My first car was a 98 Avalon I purchased off my parents when they bought their new car haha. put a good amount of work into it to style it up/upgrade the tech, and I really made it my own. Great first car.

That's the case with every carmaker, their halo car always embodiment of what they can do at best albeit at huge cost. Yeah, I admit it's a great sports car and they made some unique tuning on their own but do you think it's enough for a freaking new gen Supra. From switches, knob, steering wheel, iDrive, gearbox to the freaking engine all shared from Z4.
      Supra name has bigger impact than Toyota name will ever be. It shouldn't exist if it's a rebadged after all. I'm fine with rebadged Corolla or Camry or whatever boring cars they made but a flagship product. Hmm, no bruh. What are they thinking?

    Doug’s review actually got me to go out and take a look at one. I was blown away. Drove it, and was shocked at the power and balance. I just bought one. This is coming from a car guy in his early 40’s coming off a back to back ownership of a 2011 and 2016 GTI which I loved. The 2021 new colors and additions like the black roof make this car look even better. And I had two red GTI’s back to back. I got the color ice edge and it is friggin sharp. My advice before you trash something, go take a look at it in person. If it does it for you drive it. You might be surprised to find a very limited diamond in the rough.

It was informative but hilarious. I love you to death. Especially when I am feeling down. Your reviews pick me up. You are definitely the best at car reviews. You are the pinnacle of car reviews. They should pay you the big bucks if they aren't and give you periodic raises. Supercar Blondie makes some gaffs, and those others can't get close.

    About 14 years ago, Toyota made the TRD Aurion, for the Australian and NZ market, it had a TRD specific bodykit just like this one but with an added Supercharger producing 257kw or 344 Bhp, I really don’t get why Toyota don’t do more in the performance sector these days, like they did with the Aurion TRD, maybe because they know these things will never see the track? Idk but all I know is that they’re capable of making a solid sports sedan and they really should give us a power boost.

And I’m only in my 40’s. But I like it that everyone thinks of this car as an “Old Person’s” car, because the secret gets kept at how great of cat these really are. And you can get a really good deal on them. Plus you save at least 10K on the Lexus variant and badge.

    IMO the best precedent for this is the Mercury Marauder. The Mercury Grand Marquis buyer was basically the same retirement gated community buyer as the Avalon. The Marauder was cool (and even more than the Avalon TRD because it had more power), but didn't sell. I suspect the Avalon TRD will be the same story!
