This is completely my own opinion. Some folks will always buy a loaded automobile, but I have to believe that the sweet spot for the venza is going to be a price which sits lower than fully loaded, putting MSRP around 32-34k depending upon how much folks are going to add package/option wise and engine/AWD options. Rough number I"m hoping with dealing that means folks will be 'paying' 29-32k w/o taxes etc.
 
Personally I'd say the venza sounds like a pretty nice fit in that price range.
 
Also hoping that the I4 can handle AWD plus 3 passengers w/o straining -

I just can't see the infatuation with this vehicle at this price point. The one I sat in was nicely equipped with leather, no nav, sunroof, etc. and had an msrp over 40K. Are they kidding? This is basically a wagon version of the camry. I have been shopping CUV's for a few months and just don't see how this vehicle (which I like by the way) is worth 10K more than say a similarly equipped Forrester, CRV, RAV4, etc. Other than the me fist lemmings I can't understand this thing selling in the numbers toyota hopes for unless they get real with the price.

All four dealerships got back to me via e-mail over the course of yesterday, and I spoke with two of them on the phone.
 
First offer: MSRP of $38,529, offered $35,063 (didn't speak with on the phone), didn't counter
 
Second offer: MSRP of $38,529, offered $35,363, wouldn't budge from that (on phone)
 
Third offer: MSRP unknown, but agreed to a $34k offer from me immediately, however it would have to be ordered and the timeframe for getting the Venza would be up to 4 months. If it's started production again (few posts up) then that's good, but there was no real timeframe given, not even the standard 6-12 or 6-8 week timeframe that I have heard.
 
Fourth offer: MSRP of $38,6xx something. Offer of $34,600, settled on $34,500 before TTL, 3k down though I think I'm going to increase that to 4k. So, that's going to be my Venza. Real nice salesman on the phone, going up to the dealer later this week. I'll post the nitty gritty dealership details once the keys are in my hand .

Regarding wait times; mine was allegedly ordered from the JAN 12 start-up batch. They said delivery in a month, with any luck.
 
Of course, relatively speaking, we (Baton Rouge, LA) are just down the road from the plant. Probably longer out to Kalifornia.
 
$35,363 was the bottom-line offer I got from the dealer I almost bought at. That's everything (including Blizzard Pearl exterior, which is a couple of hundred more) except sun roofs, towing and rear DVD package.
 
The "winning" dealer obviously cut into his hold-back. I'm just guessing there, but it doesn't matter; I was on that deal like white on rice.
 
Again, you guys looking for a family ride probably will do better to wait for the four cylinder with less goodies. I'm retired, and decided to spoil myself...

Sorry that's impossible. Something is wrong with your story.
 
The most loaded Venza AWD with Navi is about $38000. Glasses needed at next test drive.
 
There is no comparison of the CRV or RAV or Forrester to the Venza in terms of interior quality and quietness and smoothness of the experience. All three of these vehicles are entry-level vehicles. The Venza is for someone who doesn't want an entry-level vehicle but also doesn't want something as big as a Highlander. Price is not the issue. The level of the driving experience is the issue.
 
Initially all thee are in the mid to high $30K range. But that's because they haven't offered the base models yet.

You're not too far off IMHO. I say this often of Toyota vs. Lexus, especially when you load up a Toyota. The 2009 Lexus RX has a $5K MFG to dealer incentive, deal close to invoice and many are seeing $9-10K off MSRP

Went to carsdirect.com and listed my venza, it specs at 41,512
Had to add a couple of things atfermarket because toyota won't put rear entertainment on pano roof
Thanks all the same for the imput
I just don't like the rx look or feel and venza is slightly better mpg
I guess it just comes down to personal prefferences good or bad
