Re: NAIAS: 09 Toyota Venza
Ratings are out for th 3.5l engine, since it's the same engine as in the Camry, Avalon, Rav4, Highlander, Lexuses, etc....
the 2.7 is a new engine (or a reworked version of their 2.4l). As for style, I don't find it offensive. It follows Toyota's current them. I don't like the bulging Toyota logo nose, and the grille is a little over complicated, but overall, there's nothing that offensive about it. I see a Lexus RX roof, Ford Edge front End, Ford Mondeo taillights, and Camry doors.

Re: NAIAS: 09 Toyota Venza
Copying Ford, all Toyota has ever done is copy other automakers. This thing is so ugly, the front looks like it was designed in Japan and the back was from Tim-buc-too, the whole thing is dis-com-bob-u-lated.

Re: NAIAS: 09 Toyota Venza
The only thing I don't like is the grille. It is way to complicated and busy looking.

Re: NAIAS: 09 Toyota Venza
This thing is pretty nasty. But it's not the design that gives me a bad taste in my mouth. It's the fact that Toyota has a green image, but now has more trucks and SUVs than cars...

Re: NAIAS: 09 Toyota Venza
The Toyota Tedge? That looks like a bad Hyundai attempt at copying another brand. The Nissan Rogue is far better looking. The Ford Edge looks great in person.
Can't blame them for throwing more dollars to get another foothold in this segment.
