I mentioned the RAV4 to my younger daughter. She wouldn't think of
owning one. Her comment, "Dad, that's a *pansy* car!"

I just thought I'd share that with you.

That's really too bad and an indicator of why the American Auto
Industry is in such bad shape.
You should be more responsible in providing fatherly advice.
What do you think a US gallon of gas will cost in a couple of years
after the recovery?

It's too bad the ejaculates who whine about the RAV4 know very
little about it.

Car and Driver magazine likes it:

"The RAV4 is a C/D favorite, having won a recent comparison test of
eight of its competitors as well as back-to-back 5Best Trucks
awards. What we like most about the RAV4 is its refined, carlike
demeanor. Available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, the
RAV4 isn't exactly ready to conquer serious off-road trails, but its
ground clearance and all-wheel drive do allow it to tackle inclement
weather with ease. The excellent fuel economy of the four-cylinder,
decent driving dynamics, and massive interior space put the RAV4 at
the head of its class. The V-6-powered model is a rocket, but may be
overkill for most buyers."

Consumer Reports has it at the top of the small SUVs and at least two
Canadian cable auto programs rate it tops.
Johnny & his Dope Army irregulars are probably stuck in the 1st or
2nd generation version.
Mine is the 3rd generation and this year they gave us a larger engine
with 13 more horsepower.
Johnny PrepH may not know that my '09 RAV4 4 cylinder has 26% more
power than my old Plymouth Voyager with it's 3.0 V6
and 21% more than my '06 Ranger PU with its 3.0 V6.


But . . . . pink?



Pink is just another color. I saw a Toyota Camry today with a factory
green color that reminded me of...puke.

I like the RAV4. Typically Toyota - well-designed, nicely assembled,
Toyota reliability.


Yup. Cozy up to old Donny. He's all you have left.
