2013 Toyota Avalon
Toyota has totally redesigned the large Avalon flagship sedan for the latest model year, with a fresh new body. The mechanicals are carried over, but there is a newly-added hybrid model. It's the first Avalon to get a four-cylinder engine, as all previous ones used Toyota's corporate 3.5-liter V6, good for 268 horsepower and 248lb-ft of torque.
The new-generation car continues to get this powerplant, sending motivation to the front wheels exclusively through a six-speed automatic. The transmission has been reprogrammed to be more responsive and efficient and gets a lower differential gear drive. There is also a transmission fluid warmer for prolonging its life.

2013 Land Rover Range Rover
Land Rover has redesigned its prestigious Range Rover flagship SUV for the latest model year. While the new full-size luxury ‘ute sports evolutionary changes to the exterior styling and cabin, the big news is a new, all-aluminum unibody structure that helps reduce curb weight by a staggering 700 pounds compared to the old model.
For the new generation, the Range Rover's tall greenhouse remains intact, a design cue that dates back to the 1970 model. However, an elongated front fascia that recalls the smaller Range Rover Evoque clearly gives it an updated, yet familiar, face. Instead of upright head lamps, the new Range Rover's lights sweep back into the fenders, further accentuating the rounded appearance.
