On a rational level, the Toyota Venza is a solid choice for a five-seat crossover.

On a rational level, the Toyota Venza is a solid choice for a five-seat crossover. It has lots of interior room and is reasonably stylish. The only downside, then, is that the driving experience is utterly forgettable. The throttle and transmission are programmed to be incredibly soft and lethargic, which makes the Venza feel slow and hesitant. As is the case with cars like the Toyota Camry, the Venza seems designed for the type of person who simply wants reliable and comfortable transportation from one place to another. That's fine, but someone who actually enjoys driving cars will find the Venza terrifically dull.

It provides the bling without the bulk.

With GMC's chrome-faced, top trim level, Denali, having already expanded from the Yukon and Yukon XL to the Acadia crossover, it was only a matter of time before GMC sought to imbue the compact Terrain crossover with similarly lofty levels of profitability. After all, so far in 2012, the Terrain is GMC's biggest-selling SUV -- why not entice a percentage of those buyers to go for a fully loaded version, wrapped in a more brightly finished package?
