Replying to: dm1212 (Nov 22, 2008 6:45 pm) Having looked closely at the Edge, I see a lot of cheap content in that vehicle. 'Chrome clad' wheels, now offers just heated seats - used to offer heated and cooled, and the list goes on. Option it up and it isn't so inexpensive any more, and neither is it so effecient. I wouldn't be afraid of the Venza on a first model year. It is build on the Avalon platform, and that vehicle has been around for some time. I would say, the question is going to be will the dealers, deal on price? I do have to agree with your point about it helping the US economy, and that is why I get SO upset with the domestics like Ford for what I feel is metering out the new tech - like Ecoboost (this isn't even new tech). WHERE IS THAT?!! It has been talked about for FOREVER and a DAY (to me), yet WHERE are these motors in vehicles? Nowhere, that's where - the one thing that might have at least gotten me to look at this set of wheels is nowhere. It is vapor in the mist as far as I can see.

Replying to: dm1212 (Nov 22, 2008 6:45 pm) If you look at the reliability ratings of Toyota cars even in the first year, they are usually quite good. The Venza has a lot of components from the Camry/Avalon family and these are some of the most reliable cars you can buy.

Replying to: tourguide (Nov 22, 2008 6:56 pm) It looks to me like the pricing is starting to come down already. At first the Venzas listed here were around 4-400 under MSRP. Now the discount seems to be much more substantial: http://www.fitzmall.com/fitzway/carfind/resultsa.asp

I just went to look at the Venza on the Toyota website. 29MPG is impressive, I had no clue it was that high, but FWD is useless, what does the AWD 4 cyl and V6 get? It actually is a good looking vehicle, although it looks small.

Replying to: dm1212 (Nov 22, 2008 8:02 pm) Edge AWD V6 = 15/22 That is a rather substantial difference. Yeah, I know I'm comparing a 4 to a 6, but it's not my fault that Ford doesn't make a nice smooth 4. Geeze, the Edge's mpg is no better than the Ford Explorer. Interior is mostly a matter of opinion so it isn't worth arguing about. |

Replying to: luckyme1 (Nov 22, 2008 6:01 pm) So you prefer the "real cheap looking plastic" on your Avalon over the "at least tries to look real" plastic on the Venza. Hmm. Interesting. What's wrong with the price? Is the vehicle not worth 38k or you weren't shown 38k of value? So other than the "cheap plastic and the 38k price tag" would you buy one?
