I love the Venza!
I must admit that there is just about nothing on the Toyota lot that interests me very much except one vehicle. The Venza. This car is sharp. I'm a car guy, meaning I prefer a sedan or coupe, so there's always an element of compromise and less appeal with a CUV or SUV no matter how well done. But the Venza appeals to the car guy in me. In fact, if I were buying a new car today pretty much two cars would top my list, The Nissan Maxima and, you guessed it, the Toyota Venza.
From a styling standpoint I find that it is more Lexus than even the new RX. I love the low height coupled with the wide stance. The big 20" rims and when decked out with the panorama sunroof this car is pretty damn sexy.
I may buy one. That's how much I'm smitten by this car. It's the best thing Toyota sells as a Toyota. Can I get an Amen?

What Edmunds.com says
The 2009 Toyota Venza is a new breed of vehicle, mixing crossover SUV attributes with a wagon. We think many families will find it to be pleasantly useful transportation.
Pros
Spacious interior, powerful and efficient engines, pleasant driving demeanor, comfy ride, innovative interior storage.
Cons
No third-row seat, can't tow or haul as much as other crossovers, dull driving experience

I still think the front grille is kind of odd, but i like the rear/side profile. I first saw the venza last year at Northstar on snow verts and i thought it looked great. Also, Im starting to see a lot of Venza's on the street, so toyota is doing something right.

Every time the fiance and I are out, we make sure to drive by the Toyota dealer to look at one. We freaking love this car. I like the wagon look, she likes that it's kinda tall. I haven't gotten to sit in one yet, but it looks really nice.
Though, if I were in the market for a wagon, I'd pick up a used V70R... T-T-T-turboooo
