VenzaGeneral discussion forum for the 2009 Toyota Venza.
This is a discussion thread titled "09 Venza My new ride", within the Venza forum, part of the Cars & Vans Forums category.
I kind of like it. It seems like a good move on Toyota's part, you get most of the perks of an SUV with the MPG's of a car. One thing is for sure, Toyota knows its customer's I would be willing to bet it will sell well. Seems like it could steel some Subaru Forester sells.

Wish there was a Hybrid offering too. We love our Hybrids and this looks closer to what I had hoped for the Highlander to look like.

I agree... I am sure it is in the works. They probably just don't want to spoil the sells of the 3rd Gen Prius which should be showing up about the same time. Also, if they release it after the Prius, it will most likely come with Synergy 3 which will be making its debut in the 3rd Generation Prius. Just my hypothesis!

I was looking for some pictures of the Venza and I came across a website that has a ton of pictures for almost every brand of vehicle. Below is a link that will take you right to the pictures of the Venza ... and they have very nice high res pictures too

It's a totally cute car and I hope Toyota sells a million of them. In fact when I was talking with Toyota today I mentioned how important that it was that the consumer had many Hybrid choices when they visited the dealer. I'm thinking that 1/3 of the dealers inventory should be hybrids by the end on 2008. Gas prices are never going to return to the sub $3.00 level so we as consumer have to start looking for alternatives.
Thankfully Toyota assured me that they have many hybrid options in the works and the choices available to consumers will be far ahead of any competitor by the end of 2008.
I foresee the consumer will pay between $5.00 and $6.00 per gallon at the pump within the next six months - and the clock is ticking. I challenge Toyota to do something about it and show they're the company consumers need to come too.

i think this is toyota's way of bringing back the camry wagon. toyota dumped the camry wagon in 96 (just here in the US) and brought in the sienna. But with gas prices, and people who don't want a minivan, but wanted a bigger car with the comforts of a sedan prompted toyota to bring back the camry wagon, only in a crossover format.....comfort of a sedan (avalon and camry) and versatility of an suv (highlander).
If you follow closely, they did the same when they introduced the matrix in 2000. and my guess is they may do the same for the avalon in 2010 (avalon's scheduled overhaul) to compete more against mercedes and bmw. just a guess.
