| 2013 Toyota Avalon |
As the limousine industry bids farewell to the Lincoln Town
Car, many other cars, including the Toyota Avalon, are in line to get a piece
of the livery market.
Gary Kessler, CEO of Cary International, the world’s largest
livery company, recently addressed the issue with the Detroit News. “We’re
clearly at a watershed event. There isn’t a clear replacement for the Town Car.
But the more people who are in this space, the more that is going to raise the
bar on the vehicles from which we can choose.”
Carey said that more than 85% of his fleet is still
represented by the Town Car, but as older models are phased out, a new option
will have to be available to take their place. Carey has done much research
into what should come next, and Toyota believes the 2013 Avalon has what it
takes.
While the Toyota Avalon has never entered the livery market
in the United States, it has long been a leader of the class in Japan. In an
effort to secure a spot in the emerging American market, Toyota has developed a
new livery edition of the Avalon. The all-black Avalon has leather interior,
rear climate controls, and heated rear seats, among other amenities.
Bill Fay, head of Toyota Motor Sales USA, said, “The vehicle
seems to really fit in with what the livery people want and need. It’s kind of
a new opportunity for us. We’re kind of almost sticking our toe in the water
here.”
