Thread: Black and/or green Venza Pics

I'm looking at buying a venza, but I wanted to see actually pictures of it in black or green. The dealers here in town only have a silver model, and 2 of the bronze ones. Since the Blue is much darker looking then toyota's webpage makes it look, I wanted to see some actually pics of it.

I have seen the black Venza. It looks sharp, but up close, the paint was disappointing, it's flat, and little scratches-like around the door handles show up quickly.

Black looks fab- for about an hour after you wash and shammy it dry. Then dust, water spots etc. make it look terrible. Over time, micro scratches show up more in black. Of course, in sunny climes, it also gets unbearably hot.
As you indicated, color in web pics can be affected by any number of variables (most likely your monitor), and electronic cameras/printers, and certain traditional films/processing can alter shading slightly. I'd suggest you see one in person before you make the color call.

When first looking at the Venza, the magnetic grey had really caught my eye, but the dealership didn't have any with the V6 and options that I wanted. They did, however, find a black one with the packages I desired in another state. Yes, black and white are VERY hard colors to maintain! However, I am really impressed with the way this car looks in black with all the chrome accents and I've fallen in love with the car. (It's what's on the inside that counts!)

Here are a few photos that I took yesterday:

Sorry for the all the sun but it's Texas...
P.S. I've uploaded interior photos in my album. 26 July 2009

Looking fine Patty! I have had black cars almost exclusively until the Venza. Needed a break.

You are right, they are hard to keep clean.. but when they are, no colour looks as good in my books!

Cheers!

my dad has the black. Compared to my brothers caliber srt4 black, its a little blan. When he washed the Venza it did show some swirl marks, i dont know if the clear was not cured properly or the clear is just not very good. He'll end up buffing it out when spring rolls around. The black is just a plain shinny black. I have seen all the color so far around and at the dealers, my favorite 2 would have to be the root-beer color, and the white with the pearl look to it.

I have a Aloe Green 2011 Venza. It is a very Elegant color! And the car does not get so hot as does the Black or Dk Gray!
