^if the rear hatch were any bigger, you'd might as well go for a highlander. there are two mid-size suvs in the toyota camp already- i don't think toyota wants to classify the venza as a mid-size suv by default (to make three). so the venza gets away with being classified as a mid-size station wagon with huge wheels.

toyota wants to attract the owners of suvs that are feeling bad about their decision, need the space and attractiveness of an suv, but not wanting a station wagon.
hence the venza.
in fact, i think the epa might classify all three under the "midsize station wagon".
