Re: Toyota Venza: What if GM made the Nomad?

My thoughts exactly. I'm aware the Venza won't be a game changer, yet obviously Toyota's customers demanded such a product and that is why they made it.

The Nomad would have turned heads, That is what GM needs now. Head turners to turnaround perception. Products that look like no other. Make you stand out at the Friday 'Happy Hour'. The Venza won't turn many heads. It is another "white bread" product from Toyota. It's just frustrating that GM could have been on the cusp with re-introducing the "station wagon" to NA.

I'm aware the Magnum has lost some flair. Yet, if I saw one in a used car lot, I may hit it. Especially in black.
