The 2010 Toyota Venza doesn't necessary live up to its name--created by merging "venture" and "Monza" (a racetrack)--but it's a perfectly competent family vehicle that combines most of the utility offered by a crossover SUV with a lower fastback roofline. Roomy five-passenger seating and an emphasis on comfort and versatility cast it as a direct rival to the most carlike crossover vehicles while offering a package that's discernibly different at first glance.
