Never mind putting the driveline into the Pruis v they should put in the Venza
It would be a big seller if they did that

It's coming.

Nice review Chris.  Much more like my experience than in Grant's review.  Is that the same exact demo that Wing tried out?  Regardless, I bet the tire pressure was not a 40 psi where it needs to be on that specific tire.

Ya, but there was a wee bit of a problem on the way to the forum:

1.  The financial melt down in the United States commencing in 2007.

2.  The UA debacle.   And still US Politicians wailing about that.  Fortunately no sane ppl are listening.  ::)

 Report Sen Grassley asks if Toyota got off easy with unintended acceleration debacle
By  Jeff Sabatini RSS feed

Toyota is facing further fallout from its recent unintended acceleration debacle, with Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) calling on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to reopen its investigation into the situation that led Toyota to recall some eight million vehicles. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, Grassley has written a letter to NHTSA director David Strickland, stating in part, "Key questions about the cause of unintended acceleration remain unanswered."
:P

Funny how they (UA claims) all of a sudden STOPPED!
