This is 2011 Toyota Avalon Review Spec.Have you seen the TV commercials for the 2011 Toyota Avalon? One particular 30-second spot sticks out.

It's like something the Mad Men crew would create, minus the misogyny.

That Toyota's marketing team produced such a commercial proves they know exactly who buys the Avalon: people who were alive and watching television 50 years ago.
