The Toyota Venza was/is a car that, in fact, existed. Apparently they’re discontinued, yet in the US, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! You may now go back to forgetting about the Venza.

Another reminder - the honda accord crosstour was developed specifically to fight this car/SUV/crossover. The venza spanked the crosstour so hard, even the base accord still has handprints on it....

Huh. I feel like Honda missed the point entirely.

Didn’t Toyota whiff here, too?

Build for the youths, attract the olds
Build for the olds, attract no one
Solution - build for newborns

They sold a decent amount of them, so I guess they came out okay?

Just checked AutoTrader, and there’s still a couple for sale around the country, too.
One in California, one in Iowa, one in Pennsylvania, one in West Virginia. All 2015s.
So, that number might still climb a little more by the end of the year.

They certainly came closer than the Crosstour, I just had the impression that the Venza still fell short of Toyota’s expectations, I guess.

I think I had one of those as a rental from Avis once. Can’t be too sure though, although I do remember some Avis locations having Toyotas for rent.

I actually thought the pre-facelift version was quite good looking. Post-facelift not as much.
