is Toyotas answer to the Nissan Murano and Ford Edge. I think it looks better than both of them. It could in some ways be a competitor to the Outback or Volvo XC70 as well, but I'm not sure how many of those buyers will be takers to the Venza

Replying to: ateixeira (Feb 09, 2009 10:10 am)  The busy US Venza grille isn't cool in a weird way, it's just busy. Toyota tried to be cool once, RWD cars and all. |

Replying to: ateixeira (Feb 09, 2009 10:06 am) There are a few neat styling touches on the Venza that I think sets it apart from the Nissan or the Ford. Most notably the rear with the Volvo-esque tailight treatment and the contouring on the hatch. And the Grill, while a bit overdone I think it works with the overall design and is inlike anything else out there. I might even go so far as to call the Venza styling "Bold" or even "Daring" (Ducks behind computer screen) I also like the cockpit dash layout and the interior has a really rich look to it in higher trim levels. I think it's classier than the new Highlander even. I mean, the Venza isn't rolling excitment, but it has a bit more style than more recent models. I'd like to think that this is at least a sign that Toyota is going to add a bit more styling to the budget on future models.
