Toyota is debuting the 2016 Avalon at the Chicago Auto Show next week, but provided an early glimpse at the redesigned sedan.
Toyota is looking to create some bluster at the Chicago Auto Show next week with the introduction of its newly redesigned Avalon sedan, plus two sporty versions of the Camry and Corolla.
The automaker sent out a little teaser photo of its new full-size sedan, but didn’t reveal anything else in the way of specs or pricing. However, the new sport special edition versions of the new Camry and Corolla show that the maker is clearly listening to the market and the popularity of tweaked out sedans.
The 2016 Camry Special Edition features an “extra dose of both aggressiveness and technology.” The Camry Special Edition will be powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
The dosage also includes 18-inch allow wheels, a moonroof, smoked tail lights, high-contrast blue stitching for the interior, and a special paint treatments in colors like “Blizzard Pearl” and “Blue Streak Metallic.”
A mere 12,000 will be produced and it’s not available until August.
