I was talking to my friend about the Toyota Mark-X Gio and how it got introduced in the NA market under the "Venza" name,how its a "segment buster" and whatnot until we realized that "venza" sounds like "toilet seat(benza/便座)"in japanese....
C'mon Toyota. You could have given it a better than that.

The Venzas are at the dealer now and I'm really impressed. Great looking interior and I like the exterior except for all the chrome look around the grill. It drives much like a current RX350 except that it seems much faster. My guess without looking at the specs is that it is lighter than the RX and has the 6 speed auto. The one here is a loaded FWD (not a lot of demand for AWD in Tucson) and it stickers for $37K which puts it about $10K cheaper than the reported price for the 2010 RX. This might be my next car!
It is a funny name, but Camry didn't make any sense when it was introduced about 2 million cars ago.

Vencer in Spanish means to overcome or to conquer.
Venza therefore translates to (it) conquers.![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Toyota sometimes uses Spanish words. For example, Corolla means small crown (because Camry is derived from Kanmuri, which is crown in Japanese).
Ahhh... Foreign languages...

Venza as a spanish translation could only exist as a subjunctive.
Just saying.....

Now, check out what "LaCrosse" means and why Buick had to rename it for Canada.

I loved the venza. I thought it was one of the most surprising cars at the LA auto show for me. I loved it in the hardcore SEMA show form with the 24" wheels and the lowered suspension. If it means toilet seat its because toyota will be ****ting on the competition with it . LOL Its a great vehicle.
