Attention SEMA manufacturing members: SEMA has set up a Measuring Session with Toyota for its all-new 2009 Toyota Venza. Poised to be a competitor of the Ford Edge, Nissan Murano and Mazda CX-7, Toyota has tagged the new Venza as its first crossover sedan. Measuring Sessions provide manufacturers access to new vehicles before they are released to the public. Manufacturers can gather specific measurements, take photos (for most sessions) and interact with OEM designers and high-level executives.
