No interest in the RAV4.
My major issues are that there is no optional engine, and in the upper trim levels, for the price, I would expect a turbocharged engine or a v-6. Unfortunately Toyota offers neither, and as this is based on the Camry, the V-6 would easily transfer over. Heck, folks still chase after the old RAV4 with the V-6 years later. Unfortunately, Toyota continues to take the stance of reliability over performance, and will not turbocharge is then it will compete with the Lexus NX300.
The RAV4 is supposed to be a compact SUV, yet the size of this new model approaches my old 4Runner. I simply don't have the room in my garage for this size of vehicle, and if the new RAV4 is this size, as it is just about at the low end of a mid-size SUV, I look forward to a new compact SUV, that Toyota is looking to bring to market in a year or two.
