Anyone test drive or seen these cars? the look really nice... i thought they were a suv but when i saw someone come out (actually in the ad) it looks like a hatchback ... awd and 268 3.5liter.... haven't seen inside but outside looks very nice... i'm wondering if they saw mazda3 hatch were doing good and made it bit siimilar. bit pricey...

From what I have seen at a distance when driving past the toyota dealership it looks much larger then our hatchbacks, more like a crossover with the shape of our cars. Reminds me of the Chevy Traverse more then anything else.

its a crossover and it is larger than our hatch...

Great minds think alike :wink:

That thing is huge! And the grill looks like a giant cheese grater from hell:

From the commercials I've seen, I kinda like it. Toyota's are known for their reliability too. Could be a new winner for them.

[sleet_22]

i just read not too long ago that subaru and toyota were teamin up, so the venza is what they came up with, notice is AWD odd for a toyota 4door, and very similar to the new impreza wrx, matter fact the frame its an impreza

:boink:

:lame:

 

[kman13]

Ew the grill totally kills that.
And that is NOT an impreza chassis, look at it, it's too big!
from what I've read, it's based on a camry chassis, like the old highlander

They ripped off most of the design from the Ford Edge. It's nasty, and the CX-7 is one of the best looking crossovers out in most peoples eyes..

It's a "cross-over sedan". I know CUV's are lifted hatches/wagons, but this thing is just so blatantly a wagon.

 

[sleet_22]

i love my parents infinity fx45 crossover!! its sexy!!!

lol

So far its the only one thats has gotten my attention... =/

 

[danielj]

From what I've seen, the Venza is designed for mature buyers. Empty nesters looking for space and comfort.


I'm looking forward to the CX-7 refresh. The current styling is growing a bit tired.

I really like the venza, just a bit pricey, especially with the options.

I saw one earlier today parked next to a Chrysler Pacifica. Either Chrysler was ahead of it's time or Toyota is late to the party.
