2012 Toyota Venza is expected to be a big seller

It was only a matter of time before Toyota jumped on the crossover bandwagon. Meet the new Venza, a crossover sedan powerful by 4- and 6-cylinder powerplants.
Launched at the 2008 Detroit Motor Show, the Venza is expected to be a big seller.

While the new crossover vehicle is a Toyota in every respect - generic design, solid engineering - expect it to make significant inroads in the new car market thanks largely to Toyotas unbeatable resale values and image of reliability.

As the crossover vehicle type becomes more and more popular, taking the most sought after elements from an SUV such as ride height and interior space and combining it with the performance and ease of use of a sedan, it was only a matter of time before Toyota attacked the market.
