2009 Toyota Venza Crossover

Questions

Written by: yurko on Feb 24, 2009 10:44 AM

I am new to this forum, but a long-time reader -- having probably perused every message -- and am very seriously considering purchase of a new Toyota Venza. I have several questions, some about Toyota in general and some specific to the Venza:: (1.) Living in southwest Florida, the dealers here -- as well as in the rest of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, ... Read More...

Not sitting on lots

Written by: qs933 on Feb 18, 2009 09:34 PM

According to cars.com's Movers and Losers: January 2009, the Venza was #3 on the "movers" list at 20 days sitting on the lot. By contrast, the Nissan Murano was on the "losers" list at 109 days. The real explanation in the difference between the two crossovers is probably that the Venza is trickling out to dealers, while the 2009 Murano has been out since January ... Read More...

Hello - 1st Post... I too am looking to order a Venza - although I really want the 4 cyl version with my choice of options. I have not seen or heard from any dealer in the Seattle area that knows anything about when the 4 cyls might arrive - So I contacted Toyota directly - and got this nice response: "Thank you for contacting Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. We appreciate ... Read More...

Re: Marketing Mistakes [berri]

Written by: kdhspyder on Feb 03, 2009 05:32 PM

I'm wondering if Toyota isn't making the same mistakes with Venza that Ford did with the Edge. The vehicle seems to have come in over weight giving it only a marginal improvement in fuel economy over the Highlander. It's about the same size with the same footprint as the Highlander but the Venza gets 10% better fuel economy. It's much nicer and bigger than the RAV ... Read More...

Toyota Venza vs Lexus RX 350

@ GuessWho, I dont know what Venza, you got in; maybe the one you can drive from your computer chair?.... But that is not at all true. I have driven both and they are both whisper quiet, and the only main difference in the interior is the placement of a few electronic components, and very VERY slight design differences. And, as far as power goes, they both use 3.5 liter ... Read More...

Here's the detailed list from the Toyota web site. The options don't seem to add up. What do you consider stuff in this list? How about the toyoguard? Are you saying that the SE region is charging $2000 more than any other area?

You're not too far off IMHO. I say this often of Toyota vs. Lexus, especially when you load up a Toyota. The 2009 Lexus RX has a $5K MFG to dealer incentive, deal close to invoice and many are seeing $9-10K off MSRP Read More...

Toyota Venza vs Lexus RX 350

Re: Venza Vs RX 350 [Jeff_in_TN]

Written by: qs933 on Jan 17, 2009 04:09 PM

So, if both were similarly equipped, which would you pick? For me, I'm leaning towards the Venza. Even with the substantial discounts on the outgoing 2009 model (2010 is all new and arriving in February), the RX is still more expensive than the Venza for less features (that are important to me). It all depends on what's important to you, of course. The Lexus does ... Read More...
