You are in the Toyota Venza Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
| I had only seen pictures until yesterday. They have one at the South Fla Auto Show. It looks good but it's smaller than I thought. More like a Mazda CX7 than the Murano I have been looking at. It was the 4 cyl which they said would not be available until February. They would not let you get in it, said the 6 cyl would be at the dealerships Nov 15. | |
| For those of you have have tried to configured a Venza on the Toyota web site and noticed that you have to have at least $4000 + worth of "Options" I was informed that this is how they will arrrieve at the dealers. For those of us wanting to stay under $30K and still get a V6 and All Wheel Drive (I think the MSRP is something like $29.2), you can special order it that way. The Toyota rep said the timeframe would be between 6 and 8 weeks for a special order which I feel is much better than wasting $4000+ on options I would not want. Just my $.02 worth. | |

Another example of salesman misinformation. Unless of course you live in a "special" region. What state do you live in? All us disgruntled former buyers will be flocking there.

I just used Edmunds New Car Comparisons tool to line up the Venza AWD next to the Highlander AWD (base vehicle, not the Limited or Sport). It's not an exact match because equipment levels vary between the two base vehicles, but from the size, headroom, weight, space standpoint, my question is, what was the point? These two vehicles are extremely close in every measurement (as one would expect, since they are built on the same platform). That said, the article states that the Venza shares nary an interior or exterior feature with the Highlander. I will be very interested in the reactions of you consumers when you go to a dealership and compare the two vehicles first hand and drive them both. BTW, my 1995 Camry LE V6 Wagon now has 171,000 mostly trouble free miles on it and I have long bemoaned the demise of the Camry Wagon. But did we need this?
