Venza is bigger all around, with ~6" more shoulder room front and back. It weighs 800-1000 lbs more, and the base model starts at almost $26,000. It's a midsize wagon, not a quasi-compact wagon like the Caliber.
Well, size is one thing, but the overall look is another. I just hope people who think the caliber looks like 'crap' aren't praising the venza Interior, well, that is another story I'm sure heheh

Once I can drive stick again I'd seriously consider buying an SRT.

I hate the Caliber and I like the Venza. They do not look anything alike in my book. Greenhouse profile is about the only real similarity between the two, and that's far from enough to make them "look the same".

Crossover is the modern word for wagon Wagon doesn't fly with car buyers anymore, so the industry just came up with a new buzzword. The Venza is, for all intensive purposes, a Camry wagon. It shares chassis as well as drivetrain platforms with the Camry.

crossover = wagon.
The Venza is significantly beefier and is in the Edge/Munaro/Journey class. You can apply the same logic to traditional suvs and wagons, especially considering the suv's styling is more closely related to a wagon than the crossover.
The Venza uses the Camry chassis and will offer Toyota's 3.5-litre 2GR-FE V6 or 2.7-litre 1AR-FE I4 engine, both mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive will be available as an option.

Yep, it's just a marketing thing. Many of the so-called "hatchbacks" on the market today are really wagons too, but you'll never see them called that.
And the PT and Neon shared a platform yet were categorized differently. Like I stated earlier, if you're going to lump crossovers in with the station wagons, then you certainly have to do the same with suvs.

Nope. "Regular" SUVs don't share a platform with a car, they are built about a truck platform.
The Neon and PT are/were both C segment cars. They were classified the same way.
