Besides the rather impressive Toyota Avalon Pursuit Concept, Toyota seems to have commissioned other customizers to lend their touch to the new Avalon. It is rather surprising that a vehicle that has traditionally been considered the 'Japanese Buick' is receiving this kind of treatment. Eric Valdez from Street Imagine, Inc has created this Avalon Touring concept. Mr. Valdez took a different tack beyond the usual cosmetic and entertainment improvements to add a custom twin turbo kit and coil over suspension. I'm a little confused why Toyota has chosen to highlight the Avalon in this manner, perhaps to counter the aftermarket's love affair with Chrysler's large cars. It certainly casts the Avalon in a different light, but it seems that there is a lot styling improvements laid on these Avalons to 'fix' their look.
