The Avalon was well under the radar before the current version hit the market, but now this full-size luxury sedan is gaining in popularity. It certainly holds its own against its counterparts at Lexus. In Canada, the only drivetrain available here is the 268-horsepower, 3.5-litre V6. It's combined with front-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic gearbox. Nice, spacious and comfortable, the Avalon is a choice limousine for folks who like to keep it on the down-low.
