Looks good for a Rav 4. Honda will have too step up its game with the CR-V.
Looks nice, but now I’m disappointed that we’ll soon have the “older” model sitting in my garage.
I still wish I could have gotten a small V6 too.
30MPG is nice on the highways, but pulling out into traffic with only 148HP is tough to adjust to after driving the CL-S.
Looks much nicer than the competition!
My GF got the 2003 AWD Sport model. It's the cutest car ever. Stable and light and useful. The engine choice could be better, like V6 from the Highlander & Camry. This new concept could be better overall. Too much "this and that" styling to make it unique.
The profile really said VW to me, for some reason. But it's a hot car, and I'm not a big SUV guy.
Front looks nice....the rear screams VW Toureg.
I don't like it. Atleast it doesn't look like anything else on the road though.
Looks like Toyota targetting the X3. This may provide some indication as to the direction of Honda's CR-V as well.
I like the nice, natural progression. Good job Toyota.
it is believed to have returned to the program after Japan's supplier network started talking about a V6 in the next-generation Honda CR-V, due sometime in 2007.
Mazda should be complimented ... looks like Toyota stole some Mazda 3 5-door drawings Interesting that they are going to make it bigger ... as big as the RX330?
Looks pretty good. It could compete against the RDX besides the CR-V.
I hate the front. It has to be toned down a bit for the production model.
Meanwhile, Toyota's updated RAV4 shows up alongside the company's new Yaris compact, a version of which will also replace the Echo in the U.S. The RAV4 will also be shown at November's SEMA show. The third-generation RAV4 gets better performance and a larger interior, coupled with new styling front and rear. Both the RAV4 and Yaris will be on sale in the U.S. soon: the RAV4 this fall, the Yaris/Echo early next year.
- Centre differential LOCK !!!!!!!
Toyota Motor Marketing Europe (TMME) will stage the world premier of the all-new RAV4 sport utility vehicle (SUV) and unveil the all-new Yaris three-door and five-door liftbacks, at a press conference at the Frankfurt International Motor Show. Both vehicles featured at the press conference will have European specifications.
Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc. will launch the all-new RAV4, its most affordable SUV, this fall for the 2006 model year. The completely restyled and reengineered third generation RAV4 will feature significantly improved performance and a larger, more refined and modern interior when it goes on sale.
The RAV4 and Yaris will debut in the U.S. at a press conference at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas on Wednesday, November 2.
Current one looks better. This one looks like they shrunk a Highlander and called it a day. The light up gauges are nice, though.
rear end contours remind me of the B9 Tribeca.
the back end is interesting.
Don't really like the style inside or out.
