Toyota has so shortchanged
Toyota has so shortchanged the North American market in order to meet European regulations that Europe got all the RAV4 hybrids. Europe's not interested in the Highlander because it's too big to park there. Basically the market is driven by Europe's stricter fuel economy regulations, so they get the newer and more innovative product and we get vehicles that are a) bigger or b) more obsolete. 100 percent of RAV4's in Europe are hybrid or PHEV, only 25 percent in the US and Canada. We at least get a decent allocation of Highlanders here, so people who would otherwise get a RAV4 might be talked into a Highlander.
