Yea but i wonder of you could still get a deal when you pre-order your Venza, just like the same kind of deal you would get if you bought one off the lot. Wish you could even go pick it up from the plant,heck the plant is only 1 hr and 30 mins away from me, might as well.

I never consider ordering because I don't want to pay MSRP. I think buying from dealer inventory down the road saves you thousands. But if you're an early adopter and planning on paying MSRP anyway, why not order I guess? I wish Honda had a SmartKey. Is it possible to get something like that aftermarket? |

Replying to: roho1 (Nov 20, 2008 9:06 am) Actually there are some packages and some stand-alone extras. This discussion always occurs at the time of a new launch. Initially the first vehicles always ( from every vehicle maker ) are shipped with all the options. Then more basic units come a little later. Then as the buying preferences of the public become clearer the option packages and individual options become modified to match demand. Since these are made in KY there is somewhat more flexibility. I just went through our region's 'ride and drive' earlier this week. It included base model and loaded Venza's ( all V6's ), a Murano, a CX7 and an Edge. Initial impressions.. ..the Venza is the biggest inside; ..the Murano is the quietest but it's not much on 'guts' due to the CVT, but the front cabin almost claustrophobic; ..the CX7 with the turbo I4 may be the 'bargain' but it also is lacking in 'guts' ..and room; ..the Edge will be the natural competitor volume-wise and price-wise. PLUS: The new Gen6 Navi is A LOT better than the previous iterations. SKS is such a brilliant idea. The leather in the Venza is nicer than that in the Camry and as nice but sportier than that in the Avalon. There's tons of room for 'stuff' in the back along with Avalon-type room for the rear passengers. The rear seating is shaped and feels like the front seating. The front console is very smartly done, it's useful, ergonomic, and it looks good IMO.

| Another positive about the Venza is that its being built in Kentucky which will help keep people working in this country. Maybe not a deciding factor for many, but at least something to consider. | |

Replying to: tourguide (Nov 21, 2008 4:38 am) Now not every store is 'average'. Longo Toyota for example is 5 to 10 times bigger than most other stores all by itself. IOW your local small town Toyota store may have 2-3 vehicles available per month. If an 'average' store is getting 2-3 monthly and they are being snapped up right away.... The pricing is nothing more than a reflection of supply and demand. |

Replying to: joeblack1 (Nov 18, 2008 4:38 pm) In fact, in the new Car and Driver, one of the editors took his wife and three kids on a 1,300 mile trip and him and his family loved the car. I think it said that he averaged 24 mpg, and it looks so much more classy that the venza. And remember, consumer reports has Ford ahead in reliability than Toyota now.
