This tag team of dynamic excitement is pounding the pavement of the 90801 ahead of the Detroit Auto Show premier of the Prius. Keep in mind, we've already seen complete pictures of the new Prius, and ToMoCo has been pummeling us with coma-inducing teaser shots, so these are really just a study in purpose-free camouflage.

<![CDATA[Toyota Reveals Venza Project Car For SEMA]]> We're not going to pretend to be excited about the new Toyota Venza crossover, but Toyota's trying to get someone under 40 interested by bringing a pair of restyled Venzas to the SEMA show in Vegas later this month. Tuners Five Axis and Street Image have been tapped to make the mods, and it's interesting to see the different approaches the two companies are taking in their design renders.

Five Axis is playing on the Venza's utility roots by adding style but also a number of cargo and convenience features like an integrated cargo/bike carrier. Street Image went a more traditional route with huge wheels and tires, some ground effects, and a full complement of interior luxury touches. Since these are just models for inspiration, we'll have to wait for SEMA to see how close the two Venzas get to their renderings, but we'll be sure to bring you the results from the show floor.

<![CDATA[2009 Toyota Venza Website Goes Live With A Wide Stance]]> We heard last night Toyota began the opening salvo of the marketing campaign on the all new Camry wagon 2009 Toyota Venza with an elaborate flash-based website. The first phrase that pops up? "We gave it an extra wide stance." Hmm, wethinks perhaps given the mass media's reporting of certain alleged attempted Congressional dalliances in recent months, usage of that particular phrase strikes us as potentially ill-advised. Hilariously ill-advised, yes. But ill-advised nonetheless. Not that we're saying there's anything wrong with that. [Venza Minisite]
