2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
one dealer in Kansas had a video up today of a walk around of the first one they got in. Looks really good in person.

I wonder if there is a minimum order allocation by dealer?
Would help keep the smaller guys in the game.
In other words, everyone gets a place or two in line.
My wife's eyesight isn't as great as it was (torn retina + some other issues) and she wanted some of the new safety features. We looked at an X-5, but it's out of our price range.
This Venza is loaded and we had a deposit on one for over 3 months locally. 2 local dealers couldn't get one or even swap for one. We found a dealer 150 miles away and this one was a cancelled order, so it came together fast. We got $2800.00 off and they offered $1,000.00 more for the trade than the local dealer that would only sell a new car at list price. They even delivered it to us and drove the BMW away. Were ok with the whole thing.

My sister is very interested in the Venza, probably in the next year or two.

Whenever I browsed there they always had a ton of fleet vehicles. They must have all the local PD contracts. Assuming this is the one on 561.

We considered the Venza up until I found out you can’t get a moonroof. Very very odd oversight. That kills it for the wife.

I wouldn’t call the new Venza a wagon any more than a 2010+ Outback. Neither one has a lower overall height than my RDX. To me that screams SUV.

I have a couple of friends who are professional automotive writers and I've questioned them at length about some other cars and they talked me down from a couple of cars and essentially agree that I'd be happiest in one of the above.
I think back to a Car and Driver writer who used to proclaim, "Stop deadly four door brain rot!"- and I suppose his philosophy has influenced my current fleet as well as future acquisitions.

The four door vehicle really depends on where you are with kids and how often people are riding in the back. You can make it work with a two door but it sure is a pain getting kids out of car seats

You make the marketers very happy.
I’ll put it this way… the Venza is 6” taller than a Dodge Magnum but 10” shorter than a Chevy Tahoe. If I am putting it in a category, I gotta go with the one it more closely resembles.
I can accept CUV, if that makes you feel any better.

I went to the dentist tonight for my regular cleaning & had him check out the tooth that broke as a result of the auto accident. It’s a Wisdom tooth, it is really broken & needs to be extracted.

A woman t-boned my father and claimed she chipped a tooth in the collision. Sued him for a million dollars. I’m sure his insurance settled for a lot less to make her go away.

Venza is "Coastal Gray" which is blueish in some light. Interior is "Boulder", which is light gray.
The 2014 BMW 535d was CPO and we bought extended warranty that ran out. It was a great riding car, but it was in the shop a lot. Not a huge PITA because we always got a loaner. BMW replaced a lot of parts and we lost confidence in it. It threw a lot of CELs and the lead time for service became weeks out. One time it was in the shop for 3 weeks while they replaced the whole fuel system. I looked over our service records, and it was in the shop for warranty/covered repairs items about 14 times while we owned it for just over 5 years.

Sounds like a good deal in this crazy market. With all the issues the BMW had I don’t blame you for dumping it since it was now out of warranty.

If the car itself isn’t heavier it’s a non issue to me.

BMW diesels have a pretty solid reputation for developing numerous issues as they age, so I’m not surprised. The quality of the dealership’s service department is also a major factor.

My understanding is those diesels also go through a midlife teething phase and then smooth out in terms of issues. But probably not an engine I’d gamble on.
SUV vs CUV seems pedantic to me. And why would marketers like me? It was definitely NOT a good thing when the Outback stopped being a wagon. When I got the RDX I was settling, as wagons at my preferred age/mileage/price point were near impossible to find.
The Venza most closely resembles Edge/Murano/Outback.
Subaru concurrently had a wagon version of the Legacy.

Good luck with the Venza. After owning a troublesome car you deserve it. You paid your dues.
As for the old BMW, if the factory didn’t authorize the whole system change out BMW has to be furious with that dealers service department for throwing darts trying to solve the problem. You’d think a dart would land in the right spot after a few tries but some service departments must be downright unlucky or bad.

I think if I were getting a Maverick I'd spring for the 2.0T and AWD.
Will it do any good? Probably not but I will take my hollow victory as it at least made me feel better.
Oh and as if I needed another reminder that I married well, I pointed out a Wrangler in our color to my wife the other night. She liked it and wanted to know if ours will ‘sit up high like that one’. So yeah, she wants a small lift and bigger tires.
Of course that will probably change when she sees the cost!

I go back and forth. The turbo AWD is more traditional truck, right down to poor MPG. the hybrid though, seems like a neat option. I guess it depends on what you really need.
