2009 Toyota Venza AWD V6 - Toyota Crossover SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
It's a spacious, comfortable, and quite luxurious crossover for people who don't have more than a couple of kids to haul and hence do not need a third-row seat.

My first thought as I sat behind the wheel of the Toyota Venza and looked around was something along the lines of, "Where did all this cheap plastic come from?" There's a surprising amount of hard plastic within reach of the driver, and yet the top of the dashboard is soft. Perhaps this is an example of Toyota's to maintain profit margins.

Will Scion Sell Toyota's Tiny iQ here? That's up to the youth of America to decide.

Toyota already sells the iQ, a tiny urban runabout, in Europe and Japan, but this is the first time the company has acknowledged a desire to sell the car here in America. The Scion iQ concept that debuted at the 2009 New York Auto Show wears high-zoot bodywork from Five Axis, a car customizer from Huntington Beach, California, but if an iQ comes to your Scion dealership, it likely won't look quite as crazy as this.
