Toyota has a winner in 2010 Venza
16.01.10
In 2009 Toyota began building a new model called the Venza.
I have no idea what Venza means, but it’s a nice name. It’s
built off the Camry platform, at the aforementioned plant in
Kentucky. Toyota describes it as a five-passenger vehicle that
couples the styling and comfort of a car with the flexibility of
a sport utility vehicle.I simply refer to it as a station wagon.
I fail to see the stigma related to the
words station wagon. People of my generation
are old enough to have outlived the
plague associated with station wagons and
have witnessed their rebirth as something
cool (even if Europeans seem to be the
only folks who will actually say the words in
mixed company).
The 2010 Venza has one trim level but is
available with a 2.7-liter, DOHC four-valve
I-4 with dual VVT-i, which is a 182-horsepower
engine with 182 pound-feet of
torque, or a 3.5-liter V-6 DOHC four-valve
with dual VVT-i, 268 horsepower and 246
pound-feet of torque. It can be ordered with
either front- or all-wheel drive.
