Or as some posters noted this could either be a Scion (doubt it) or an entry level Lexus CUV to compete with the likes of the Acura RDX and EX from Infiniti.
I would have preferred the Mark X also... the sedan as the replacement for the Avalon, and the ZiO as the basis for the Venza (although I am not a fan of the ZiO's jelly bean look).

I would have preferred something similar to the Ford Freestyle / Taurus X and Flex, you know, something lower and with the option of a 3rd row of seats. The Venza, in its current configuration, is too American SUVish for me.
