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.

"   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?

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.

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.

For a family of five, I'd get a third row.   So the Venzas are in some showrooms now?

Replying to: rogeliov (Nov 23, 2008 12:20 am) The first one rolled off the assembly line on monday.   They've been building them for some time now, our local dealership had one scheduled for production on the 11th of this month. My guess is, they have been shipping for quite a while, though will be widely available for dealerships in early December. Some dealerships I am sure have vehicles on the lot now.

Replying to: dm1212 (Nov 22, 2008 8:10 pm) what does the AWD 4 cyl and V6 get?   I4 - 20/28 city/hwy V6 - 18/25   I would say that is pretty good for an AWD vehicle, and likely due to lower mass and a lower aerodynamic profile than some of the other large crossovers.

Replying to: mary99 (Nov 22, 2008 10:58 pm) In general, the safety of third rows is low, and the frequency of rear-end crashes is high. Plus the third row takes away most storage capacity. Plus, I am blessed to have 3 kids who actually play well together in the back. Lots of signing of songs and word games. All without a DVD!
#316 of 1078 Kids and "Cooled" Seats Don't Mix by md_outback Nov 23, 2008 (8:50 am)
I've noticed a few folks wish the Venza had heated AND cooled seats. Me too, but I don't have young children in the car very often (though we do have a new grandchild on the way!). However, be careful what you wish for - most of the cooled leather seats I have seen are made with perforated leather. They are really neat until you accidentally spill something on the seat (like milk, perhaps). Any spilled liquid will quickly find its way through the perforations and soak into the foam of the seat cushion, where it will remain forever! Now some liquids, like water, don't really smell too bad over time. But others, like milk, baby barf, and some others will become a permanent reminder of the day the spill occurred. Unlike that fading new car smell, some odors just never go away. The good news with the Venza is that the two available leather colors are very light (ivory and light gray), so these won't get nearly as hot as dark leather - thus cooling is not a necessity.
