It looks like a Scirocco got beat with the Honda be-good stick...

The Odyssey looks 100x better, pity it doesn't have VTM-4...

Now these are a proper Honda wagon - I couldn't find the 4th/5th gen ones:

Venza works better.

Hopefully this thing doesn't sell like the EX thing.

The Venza to me is a sexier Sienna, Phil. It makes the real Sienna(the Toyota one, not Sienna Miller) look like Rosie O'Donnell

Look at that tacked-on massive beak-like grill, unique and ugly at the same time.

The ZDX is allegedly priced between the MDX and RL. I certainly hope this Beast isn't more than a Pilot.

This is going to be my next vehicle. I don't care how much it costs.

All I need to do is put on some smaller wheels and raise it up about an inch, and it'll be perfect!

The Venza is much smaller inside than a Sienna. It actually competes more with the Subaru Outback than the Sienna.

I hope they didn't copy the 20" rim size. One of the things that is holding back potential Venza sales, especially with the 20" rims (19" is standard) is that some customers don't want to have to pay for those expensive 19 and 20-inch tires when they wear out. This is not just me speaking.........I've actually heard this from Toyota salespeople and on blogs.

In fact, when I first reviewed the Venza, I remarked, even before it went on widespread sale, that I thought the wheels were larger than necessary.
