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!

I Got Divorced So I Want An Adventure Vehicle For Me And My Dog! What Car Should I Buy?
Jeff’s marriage didn’t work out as planned, and now it’s just him and his dog. They want to hit the road with the pup for some adventure. The problem is that his Mini isn’t really big enough for the both of them. What car should he buy? (Welcome back to...

Chasing Canada's Greasiest People's Food In A $200,000 Aston Martin
Say you just bought and you’re suddenly a little hungry. What do you do? Do you need to spend what’s left of your budget eating at the finest, fanciest restaurants around, or can you slum it eating deliciously greasy french fries coated in gravy and cheese? I’m in favor of...

For $6,000, Could This 1975 Olds Delta 88 Convertible Be A Royale Without Cheese?
Dinosaurs like today’s e Olds 88 once ruled the earth, or at least the North American continent. Today, they’re all extinct, but relics like this drop-top still turn up from time to time. Let’s see if you’d be digging this one’s price. My mother, wonderful woman that she was, once...

For $3,795, Do You Think This 1993 Olds Cutlass Supreme Convertible Will Cut Like A Knife?
For $3,795, Do You Think This 1993 Olds Cutlass Supreme Convertible Will Cut Like A Knife?
The Olds Cutlass was once America’s #1 selling car. Today’s edition hails from well past those glory days, but maybe this droptop’s price will prove just as glorious. When considered by the pound or square inch, yesterday’s proved to appear almost economical. That factor, along with what I think is...

The 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Is Sterile But Has A Third Row Because You Aren't
The all-new is an attractive, spacious crossover, compact in name only, with a wide range of options and, thankfully, at least one fun color choice. That’s pretty much where the car’s personality ends, but I still found a lot to like about this thing. It’s here to address a lot...

For $9,995, Could This 1980 Toyota Celica GT Be The Grand Prize?
For $9,995, Could This 1980 Toyota Celica GT Be The Grand Prize?
Today’s Celica is a rare USGP edition, and a car that apparently has had its entire service history documented in detail. It’s in great shape too, but will its price prove to be one record not worth chronicling? You can always tell when a brand is it trouble when they...
