New Avensis – not so boring….

I’ll admit the new Avensis launch kind of passed me by. Announced in December last year and on sale since January, it wasn’t No1 on my list of Things To look At. Plus everyone is raving (rightly so) about the new IQ. But their new ad here in the UK featuring a few different models in the range woke me up when I spied a shot of the estate / tourer version which would be the one to light my fire. The words Avensis and sleek are not often seen in the same place, but this, I like….

With two kids into kayaking and the usual photographers pile of gadgets to cart around, Landcruisers have always been my thing, but put the optional roof rails onto one of those things for me, add the clever under floor storge boxes for the expensive camera bits, the six speed manual and 2.0 engine and I’d be quite a happy puppy, thank you very much…. The cool black leather interior looks to me as good as anything from the German auto builders…. So is it that the new Avensis isn’t a boring box, or is it that I’m becoming a boring old fart….? Comments please.
