I like it. The only thing I don't like is the shifter placement, and the center exhausts, but that isn't enough for me to not buy the car. Good job. Car looks hot.

i wish cars could have larger diameter tires and wells. we could all roll around in 24's without rubberband tires.

then they would look like this: here's a fun illusion. look at the top pic for 15 seconds, then look at the bottom original. 18" wheels looks tiny huh! damn!

Chrome wheels? Really?
Could have done so much more with the wheel finish.
Nobody does all chrome anymore.

Otherwise, I like the Venza. Saw a stock one in person a couple weeks ago.
It has neat surface detailing in the flanks and around the wheels.

Taller than a wagon, but not nearly useful than a van (like Odyssey or Sienna).
Think "lowered RX350" in terms of size and scale...

It's a show car by a 3rd party vendor. But yes the Venza is coming stateside.

I Like it overall....that said, That's allot of rolling mass for 24s. The kit is a lil boxy on the sides, but I could live with it.....ummmm, yeah, I like it.
