Sure, maybe the could be accused as the automotive equivalent of . But if this is what selling out looks like, then it ain’t half bad.

I’m in charge of this lovely mint off-green crossover this week. So far, I’ve driven it from the office to my house and then again from my house back to the office. Only city miles up until this point for me, but I like it quite a bit. I can see everything out of it, I sit high up and I really like the way it looks, actually. It’s just very, very large. When did the RAV4 get so large?

It’s a little hard to tell from this photo, but it’s actually got two-tone paint! Like on a Volvo XC40! The roof is white, which I think is very pretty. And I really love the interior, which has contrast orange stitching all over the place. We’re suckers for things like that, because it shows that someone in the great Toyota mothership cared about nice things.

The gearbox is a bit dopey upon first impression, but I’m hoping that with more time behind the wheel, I’ll be able to feel it out more.

This is the “Adventure” trim with all-wheel drive, which comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and, as its name suggests, all-wheel drive. Toyota claims that it makes 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, and the MSRP is $32,900, but with options like the Adventure Technology Package (clearance sonar, rear cross-traffic braking, which helps with your reversing-in-a-parking-lot adventures), a premium sound system and optional two-tone paint, the total comes to $39,634. That’s quiet expensive for a RAV4, which used to be just the little basic SUV.

Alas, times change.

Anyway, what do you want to know about it? Ask away!

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...
