also sad they have fog light holes but you can't get fog lights.

 

Yeah why have those holes?!?

 

First it was fake vents. Then fake exhausts. Now they've moved onto fake foglights.

 

So you can put bike reflectors in their place

 

Rocket launchers!

 

The holes make it dead easy to install lights there. The aftermarket will step in for sure with a simple bolt-in LED kit. The recess they have provided would hide the cuts you need to make for a nice clean install.

So it's actually a blessing if you want fogs in there. I wouldn't be surprised if port or dealer-installed options appear for this eventually.

 

The interface looks improved for the infotainment. Something ToMoCo has needed to work on for some time

 

I find this Venza extremely unappealing. Inside and outside. There is almost nothing I really like. The center stack does nothing to peak my interest. The center stack buttons meh...I just find it to be so boring from a design perspective. The Sienna I kinda like.

 

The fit and finish looks excellent. Nice and tight, very little gaps. Materials look good enough. The only thing out of place is the center screen IMO

 

Maybe for tow hooks behind the cover??

 

Looks like it has the little doors for that just above the fog light holes.

 

So they can use the same part in other markets - or special editions - where they will offer fog lights or whatever goes there.

 

You think a lot of Venza owners are ordering after market fog lights from JC Whitney?

 

I never mentioned anything about JC Whitney but for the average owner, no. They won't notice the holes.

But people complaining about the holes will seek a light that fits there. Places like The Retrofit Source will likely start carrying vehicle specific bolt-in kits for that, as they do for countless other cars. I'd buy one for sure if I was a Venza owner.

And any dealer smart enough to see that demand would carry the kits, too. And offer them during the sale at a grotesque dealer markup as usual.

 

Classic Toyota cheapness
