Thanks for the info. Did you notice that the vehicles in the Gathersburg, MD location were listed at a few hundred $ below MSRP while the one in PA was listed at nearly $5000 below MSRP. I'm guessing that was a typo (or it fell off the truck when it was unloaded).

I see Toyota has tacked on a destination surcharge to my region even though the price of oil has been cut in half. Not nice.

About those "Toyota Associated Pet Products"... I've seen some pics now and they're just aftermarket items you can buy anywhere and stick in any car at all. It's the same stuff that's been available forever. So this is more of a marketing angle than anything new.

I'm going to have to sit in this car and see if it meets our needs. If so, then I'm going to HAVE to be able to get it for slightly over invoice or it is probably not worth it for us. Other than a SLIGHT bump in fuel economy there is nothing here that is substantially more attractive than a Highlander. In fact it has less cargo room. They don't have memory seats, and no native iPod interface, no heated and cooled seats. I know they were trying to hit a price point, but come on - these are some key features in a modern vehicle.

I agree. I am looking forward to at least sitting in one. Then, I plan to wait as well. I'm a patient man. I will want to see close to invoice as well on the I4. That may mean I will have to wait until late spring or early summer. As long as my old Suburban holds out. I do disagree a little about the Highlander. The one thing I personally didn't like about the Highlander is the foot well protrudes into the gas pedal area too much for me. I know this probably doesn't bother most people, but it is a biggie for me. I know the Rav4 is much better in this regard as it has a little space there. If it is a problem with this car, then it is off my list. Otherwise though, this car is everything I'm looking for. I really liked the Ford Edge aside from the gas mileage and the Interior styling. The Venza address both of those issues very nicely for me.

I like the exterior of the Venza but it is pricey and option pkgs are sky high.

I agree, option packages run the price up way high...

Not to try to sell you, but you can special order and get what you want, rather than the default option packages you get on the Toyota site when you try to build one which start at $4500. Use the build on the Edmunds site instead which lets you order what you want. If I get a Venza, I plan on going with the Comfort Package (LS) which gives you leather interior including steering wheel and shift knob, wood interior, heated mirrors (needed for New England) and windshield de-icer (whatever that is??) all for $2100 (list) and $1689 (invoice) which you should be able to get for some price in the middle or lower. FYI: special orders will take from 6 to 8 weeks. Just my $.02 worth.
