D'oh...nothing new there.
My salesman called me a couple weeks ago to see if I was interested in a 2018 Highlander. Told him no. I only have 44,400 kilometers on my 5 year old 2013 Highlander and it will do unless I give up towing a boat. Then a nice new RAV4 truck or a Subaru Forester will take care of my needs.


I know a couple of guys with that Subaru model, and they love 'em.


The RAV4 rates a bit more reliable and I'm not sure if I'd like the CV transmission...otherwise the Forester would probably be at the top of my list.


I was thinking of getting my wife a Subaru Forester when she wanted to
get a new car last year, but the Toyota dealer won out because his store
was close-by.


I can walk to either but the Toyota dealer is closer. They have a shuttle service if the weather is bad, I'm in a hurry or I just feel lazy.
Last week our Highlander was in to get the passenger side and hood painted because of a Christmas Day high wind event that bombarded us with roof shingles. Insurance provided a vehicle for the week. I had asked for a Forester but they wanted to give me a Nissan Pathfinder as an equivalent replacement. I wan't planning any towing so I said no sir. Ended up with a Ford Edge, which didn't impress me much.
