Well 1989 was the last year that BMW utilized the 6 Series designation until 2004, when the 6 Series returned as the 645Ci, in either 2+2 Coupe or Convertible body style.

But both are about as sexy as flowered wallpaper. Aware of the problem, Toyota turned their California-based Calty Design folks loose on a Crossover Utility and the Venza is the result. Unlike the Camry or Highlander, the Venza carries an in-your-face attitude with its exterior styling, from the aggressive grille through its chunky midsection to a carved-from-a-block-of-steel rear. The Venza has the high step-in (206-mm or 8.1-inch ground clearance) and seat height of an SUV without the off-road capability... Read more
