nice......

it's interesting.  Needs time to grown on me.

I think that this vehicle has a lot of "potential"........do you know the '"size"of this vehicle?  Is it similar to the size of the RX?

[QUOTE]Tuner Street Image also worked with Toyota to create this hot-rod vision of the Venza. The vehicle is suspended over big, 24-inch wheels by an adjustable coilover suspension. A TRD supercharger makes sure the Venza SportLux has enough grunt to spin such big rolling stock.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]Two engines are offered: a new 2.7-litre inline-four cylinder (I-4) making 182 horsepower and 182 pounds-feet of torque, and a 3.5-litre V6 making 268-hp and 246-lb.ft. of torque. Both engines are mated to six-speed automatic transmissions which use "Artificial Intelligence Shift Control" to adjust the transmission's operation depending on driver input. "Hill-Start Assist Control", which prevents the vehicle rolling back when starting on an incline, is standard across the range. 

With the optional towing package, the Venza V6 will tow 3500 lbs, while the I-4 will tow 2500 lbs. Both the V6 and I-4 Venza can be ordered with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The starting price is, "under $30,000," said Toyota Canada Managing Director Steven Beatty. Presumably, this would refer to the I-4 version with front-wheel drive. 

The exterior design of the Venza is perhaps what sets it apart from other crossover-style vehicles, as it features a particularly sleek profile. Its alloy wheels are large (19-inch for the I-4, and 20-inch for the V6) and its waistline is high, which gives Venza a substantial but modern appearance.[/QUOTE]

I'll be checking this Venza ou at SEMA...i'm liking it :) :)

Wow, i like. Very aggressive & sharp styling cues on it. and a 3.5-litre V6 making 268-hp and 246-lb.ft. of torque. is not bad.

Wow that's nice.... looks very sporty though. Would like to see one built VIP

still Toyota's answer to the Outback. that's all it will be. here we are calling for more wagons and we still get these 4x4's. no one will mod a Venza like that. or it will be on 24's and NOT lowered at all. And the iQ? that's another story that fails.

mad props for Eric @ Street Image for doing it right!

24's!!

saw it at the la auto show...so nice.

Bring the smaller cars here enough with the "crossovers".

For me, the overall design of the car is solid, but those wheels are beyond ridiculous.  Semi-trucks are the only vehicles with a purpose for 20"+ wheels, in my opinion.

sorta like a a matrix and a rx430 combined.

Very nice car indeed we (the dealership I work for) have them and I really like the looks, handling, and power alot they come with a 6speed auto which is as smooth as silk...So far all we have are the 6's but I cant wait to see what the 4 is like since its not the normal 2.4 which is in the Camry its actually a 2.7 still backed by the 6 speed which is different I'll let you all know what the power difference is...The interior is definitely my favorite part especially with the panoramic moon roof they didnt skimp at all inside these things if its a loaded version...They are pricey though we've got a 2wd with nav,leather,the roof,reverse camera etc.....its $36,8 the 4's will be cheaper but from what Im hearing not by much...

i like this thing.

yeah I'm trying to get my mom to pick one of these up so I can help here get into the VIP world haha
 
probably wont work but i want one in the family

that car need the grill done body color and dropped like the ad with the white one.  the posted up a bit really needs the door panels boxed in like the skirts.

We just got some at the dealership. First thing I did was measure the bolt pattern and find some 22s for it. Pending approval of the sales manager, we've got an old set of 22s from a Murano that could go on there =)

(nothing fancy though, just some cheapo 22s)

Work SC2's!! but if it sells...

The Venza posted above....I would've gone lower with 22s with better fitment.

love

that car is nuts

I seen this car stock in person and I like it. I would rock this shit quick. This car with some pimpage wheels and kit, real simple classy vip type of look would look retarted. This car has a lot of potential

been seeing a few on the road now.
