Toyota Shows Off the New Avalon's Fancy Directional Turn Signals
Toyota has shared a teaser video for the new Avalon sedan prior to its debut in Detroit last month.
The short teaser clip shows the Avalon’s new directional turn signals in action. The lights will quickly illuminate fully, before slowly pulling back in the direction of the engaged turn signal. They sort of remind us of the Mustang’s sequenced taillights, only the action appears much faster.
New Year, new attitude. First look at the all-new #Avalon coming soon from 2018 @NAIASDetroit. https://t.co/Ge5MCCZJ23 #NAIAS pic.twitter.com/Xv8hXlcXcG

This is the second teaser released for the new Avalon – the previous one showing a portion of the headlights and grille. The new sedan should ride on a slightly lengthened version of the front-wheel-drive Toyota New Global Architecture, which is also found in the Camry.

Kinda "points" in the wrong direction, doesn't it? At least that's what the 4 second video shows...
as nice as they are, other driver's will rarely get to see them in action as turn signals seem to be "optional features" on most cars these days. If you see a turn signal in action, consider yourself lucky...are these also the brake light too? I hate the brake as turn design...I like Europe's law saying the turn, marker and brake lights have to be separate lamps/sources so each operation is distinct and can't be misunderstood for another action.
