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) 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.

Replying to: milkman1 (Mar 03, 2009 5:15 pm) My opinion (and take it for what it's worth as a Venza owner): I hope it looks better in person than it does in photos. That side profile makes the rear look huge (look at the size of the rear bumper!). I prefer the wagon-like profile of the Venza versus the coupe-hatchback approach Honda is taking. Note that the cargo area is shallow enough to use a fixed cargo cover (as opposed to the Venza's window-shade style cover). To me, the CrossTour looks like a bigger Insight or Prius, while the Venza looks like a giant Matrix.

Replying to: qs933 (Jun 06, 2009 5:27 pm) Is that an Aztec like rear window I see? If this is Honda's answer to the Venza they have missed the boat. |
