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!

You Can Save A Ton Of Money By Buying A Performance Car In The Winter
When most people go car shopping in the winter they make a beeline for the SUVs and crossovers, because “OMG, snow is coming!” But you aren’t most people, and you realize the planet has four seasons, not just one. If you’re in the market for a sporty coupe, now is...

The Best Cars And Trucks We Drove In 2016
Much like kicking Anakin Skywalker into a river of lava, we end 2016 with some bittersweet memories of the good times in between the bad. Yes, we do march into an impending dystopian future, but we drove some nice cars on our off days. Fun isn’t obsolete yet, folks! We...

For $5,800, Could This 2004 GMC Denali Steer You Wrong?
Today’s GMC has four-wheel steering. That should be sure you get where you’re going, no matter which end is leading the way. We’ll just have to decide if its price elicits a way to go! too. I seemingly couldn’t muster among you as much enthusiasm as I felt for yesterday’s...

The 2017 Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback Could Be America's Golf If It Was More Fun 
For once, I’d like to see an American carmaker sell us an attractive, affordable, simple, and fun-to-drive compact hatch that doesn’t require a to make it worthwhile. The Ford Fiesta ST fits the bill, but it’s kind of tiny, don’t you think? That’s why I had great hopes for the...

These Are The Most And Least Expensive Cities To Buy A Used Car
I tell people all the time that cars, especially pre-owned ones, are more like real estate when it comes to the prices in various metro areas. A recent study looked at used car prices across the country to figure out which cities pay more and which metros are getting the...

For $12,450, Could This 1990 Toyota Lite Ace Really Be Your Camp Mate?
There’s so much to love about today’s Lite Ace camper that you’ll probably even overlook that it’s a right-hooker. Let’s see if its price is easily overlooked as well. When Audi moved the S4 badge to the smaller B5 platform but didn’t lower its price, nobody even batted an eye....
