Ford Edge: I like the Ford Edge except for the gas mileage and the interior styling is awful in my opinion. The Venza is way better on both accounts.
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.

I would say, the question is going to be will the dealers, deal on price?
 
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:

The gas mileage isnt that bad, considering it has 265 horsepower, the interior is alright, the seats are nice.

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.

Venza AWD I4 = 20/28
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.

"Liked alot about the vehicle, except the cheap looking plastic matte finish wood. We had a hard time getting past that after the Avalon look. "
 
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?

It's going to be difficult for dealers to hold the price on the Venza under this current market climate. I'm still amazed they decided to introduce it in the slowest sales part of the year. It seems to me they did the same last winter with the Sequoia and the Landcruiser and sales were nothing to write home about on either model if I recall. But hey, that's why they are raking in the money and I'm not.

I just "built" an 09 Ford Edge on Ford's website and even with their "employee" pricing offers it's an expensive vehicle. A limited FWD comparably equipped to a top of the line Venza comes in at $37,504.00 I don't see anything wrong with the Venza's price point.

The only thing worse than cramming three car seats in one row, for me, would be cramming three kids in one row when they're old enough to pester each other. For a family of five, I'd get a third row.
 
So the Venzas are in some showrooms now?
