Replying to: md_outback (Apr 24, 2009 4:03 pm) We just returned from driving from the KC area to Charlotte and Atlanta, a total of 2400 miles over a week. When we first pickup the Venza, I had an hours drive to get home. I was having second thoughts on the way home, due to the feel of the seats. The front seats seem too short (I'm only 5' 10") and they could use more padding. But we were very comfortable on our long drive. The most we drove in one day was 12 hours. I no qualms on the Venza now and very glad we did it. Maybe the Venza seats broke me in, but I have no problems with them now. |

I have to wonder: Toyota owns 16% of Subaru. Subaru plant in Indiana where Outback comes from also makes Camrys for Toyota. And, future Toyota Supra (awd) is being co-developed by Toyota and Subaru. So, anyone else think Venza and new Outback look enough alike to wonder if Venza and Subaru co-developed this chassis? I thought seriously about buying a 4-cyl. Venza a few months ago, and passed because of ridiculous wheel and tire choice by Toyota. There are only two manufacturers that make tires for that size, and they are both sub-par. Thanks to a little announcement from Subaru, I waited and now I may be able to get a nice AWD, 4-cyl vehicle, with a 6-speed manual, for several thousand $$ less than Venza. And have decent tires.

Replying to: petl (Jun 02, 2009 2:22 pm) Also, any comment on the subject of the post - is Venza a twin of the 2010 Outback? Distant cousin?

Replying to: petl (Jun 02, 2009 2:22 pm) The first benefit was that about 100,000 Camry units were able to be offloaded to the Subie plant in Indiana instead of imported from Japan. The 2nd benefit is that Subaru is making a small RWD sportster that will be marketed by both companies.
