Sure. I wouldn't mind seeing a huge, comfy Honda sedan that has a kickass motor. And it'd bring in a ton of sales like the Avalon is doing for Toyota.

And yes, this is an Avalon competitor unless you can tell me this will cost over $35k, which I highly doubt. People will cross shop the two, making them competitors. I don't really care if it has FWD or RWD, it'll likely be in the same price range and will appeal to very similiar types of buyers.
