    Me either, I think they sell it in Japan and probably other countries in Asia. I do agree with you anyways.
    Also, here's the rear:

    For me, the rear is the worst part.

    The showy hey-look-at-me-I'm-the-future styling.

    Same as the Prius: they tried too hard to shove in any futuristic design cue they coud think of.

    In 10 years, though, we'll probably look back at them just as overstyled messes.

    The MX5 is without a doubt more happy. The Venom looks slightly anxious if you ask me.

    imo the front is more of a laferrari on steroids if we're gonna go that way, as those lights are more slanted, the P1's lights are more rounded (or are you talking about the venom gt)

    Surprising, because Mirai means "the future". If that is Toyota's future, then hell no!
    The only Prius I like is the Prime, sure it's not an good "car", but it's an good "Prius".

    Would buying the 2019 Avalon be worth it?

    I'll make an scenario, then we'll see.

    Somebody (me) wants to buy an very modern luxury sedan, made by an Japanese company and is sold in America. He (me again) likes the 2019 Avalon, but is curious if it's the perfect choice.

    Is there an relative answer now?

    Well, if you want a very modern car, second hand (mostly?) is out of the picture, you could buy a 1-2 year old car where some of the depreciation hit has been taken by someone else though. Or an ex-dealer car etc.
    Japanese Luxury sedan. The Avalon looks to fit that bill, not gonna pretend to know much about the car (don't even know if they sell them over here). But outside of Lexus and potentially Honda you don't really have all that much choice. If you care about MPG, then obviously that is something to compare, same goes for HP & Torque. But you haven't listed anything in regards to that. Same goes for what the car will be used for, whether rear leg room matters, or whether you need a huge boot space.

    If you have spent a bit of time around the car and its competitors, and this is the one you like, then yeah. It's a Toyota at the end of the day, so it's probably going to be at worst ok.

    Olds actually wanted the f-body but gm said that it wouldn't fit the brand and gave it to Pontiac instead of letting them build the banshee

    Well, that would be atleast something that could be useful if I even decide to buy one. It'd be more as if how long it can last under certain circumstances, and mostly mileage.

    For basically any modern car, pick a random number between 100k miles and 200k miles providing it is maintained properly.
