So I thought I had better Venza Pictures but there were so many people around it I took pictures of the Concept AWD version instead. Though here are some of my Shots of the 350 and 450

In this one you can't see, but those are 19's and I looked closely at the clearance to the lower strut tower and there is room for 20-22's in ride height. Of course with many larger rims the issue of turning ablility and ride are always a question as well as upgrading brakes to compensate for the overall moving mass of a 22 inch rim and tire.

And I do like two things about the back that I don't know if the production model will have or not is, that I love the taillights round taillights are dying and if they leave off the ugly and useless rear windshield wiper I'd be very happy.

And finally I like the projector and some of the grill and bumper of the 450 but not sure if 10gs more is worth it, since mine is currently a freeway ride anyways.

Front, then side views only

Well, if someone else went to the LA auto show maybe they got pictures of the bright red Venza, that everyone was sitting in and checking out. But the roof line was barely about shoulder height on my and I am about 5'10.

Very futuristic!

Back in the day, we called those a "station wagon".

Toyota is having a hard time finding something to call it. They refused to provide one to Motor Trend's SUV of the Year testing because it is not in their mind an SUV. They classify it as a "car" for lack of something better.
You're right though, it is a Camry station wagon with an AWD option. It sure fits what I would like in my next vehicle for size and utility.

Those look like Bridgestone Dueler H/Ls on the 19s. Did you notice if the 18s have Michelins?

the RX actually does have a rear wiper but its tucked underneath the rear spoiler so that it will operate by hanging down. they said they kept it hidden to protect the clean look of the car

So anyway, seems the consensus is noone really likes the 2010. I felt the same about the 2004 until we got one and it grew on my and I sort of customized it. Sorry, I didn't notice it there were 18's available, but I imagine they may come stock on some versions. I like the idea of the hidden wiper being up instead on the deck lid like the current version. Anyway, I don't like other vehicle models either with their wild headlights and grills like the Infinity and the new Acura MDX and RDX. I actually kind of like the BMW X5 upgrades but still way to pricey and too sporty for the wife probably. And if the family grows again I suppose I won't be driving a new RX and instead a GX and in someways hope they change the styling on it cause I actually don't like it.
