It's one thing for Toyota to announce and make the new Rav4's, but how many of them will come to the dealerships, and how those dealerships will sell them could likely be 2 very different stories.
It seems like Prius Primes are actually available for off-the-lot purchases without markups now. That's a good sign (for buyers). Can the same be said for this new gen of Rav4's though? Esp with the Rav4 Prime (PHEV), I am very skeptical that there won't be an excessively long wait, or dealerships wanting to play the no trade-in, no car or mark up games.

We cracked a mirror fairing on the X5, and it's not sounded the same since. And this also goes back to the manufacturer, how well have they engineered the part of handle variances on the production line? No two cars are put together the same, however miniscule the differences are. Heck, my old NC had a hole on the chassis that was drilled 2mm off so tolerances for certain manufacturers can be all over the place (Mazda and Subaru are two well known offenders in the Japanese makes) Quote:

Not every family is going to have 65k to drop on a new family car. The Prius is also particularly susceptible to it as it's not a desired body form factor.

| The new CR-V Hybrid has dual pane glass in the front now, it's great and quiet on the highway - brother has a CR-V Hybrid Touring(?) and lives in Seattle, and it's very very decent on the concrete there. Surprised the hell out of me when I drove it. Quote:

Mazda is good, the CR-V Hybrid is good (need Hybrid or EX-L gas for the dual pane windows), the RAV4 is shockingly meh/bad. Quote:

The NVH in the rollacross isn’t that bad imo but I don’t drive that often. The kicks was the worst and I’m not even that picky when it comes to NVH. Quote:

I think everyone here loves to circle jerk to BMW so we can agree that BMW is the best on RS.

I've been itching to get into something bigger (although it makes no financial sense, so it won't happen), and the current gen Prius (Prime) is one of the very few contenders on my list. I've driven hybrid-only version a number of times before, and found myself really liking the drivetrain combo, as well as the handling of the car. That was quite a surprise as I had hated the previous versions LOL~

I don't know if you can trade the M2 for a Prius though, the driving experience would be way number, and you aren't exactly getting the level of comfort in return either.

It's not super fair because I drove it right after a Jeep GC 4XE, which rides like a magic carpet.

Another comparo of the hybrid CUVs and the CR-V wins over the new RAV4 with refinement being one of the key differentiators. Quote: |
That includes a heated steering wheel and front seats, both with leather; a premium Bose audio system; a hands-free power tailgate; and—a feature that made a huge impact on the comparison—an acoustically laminated windshield and front side windows. The acoustic combo is only available on this trim (the top CR-V EX-L gas model gets the windshield treatment but not the door windows), and with an as-tested price of $44,155 (Platinum White Pearl paint accounted for $455 of that amount), the added serenity they bring was almost enough to seal the deal right out of the gate.

Way worse than the Wrangler 4XE which is like 45% bad.
It was, however, much quieter than the X5 and rode better than the air suspension/hydro roll bars one.

They still sell them online. Probably no one wants to stock them because they’re like $1500-2000. No thank you!!! $300 lawnmower at Costco is just as good, who cares about reliability when you have unlimited returns.
