Review of the 1995 Toyota Avalon | Throwback Edition – Video

The 1995 Toyota Avalon is the subject of this week’s Retro Review on MotorWeek. This episode originally aired on October 5, 1994, and delves into whether the Avalon would have been more popular if Toyota had kept the Cressida nameplate.

The Avalon, a full-size sedan, was introduced as a replacement for the Cressida in the Toyota lineup. Some argue that the Cressida nameplate had more brand recognition and appeal, potentially leading to higher sales for the Avalon if it had retained the Cressida name.
