this is dumb, i just bought a 2011 rav4 limited v6 in pyrite mica, and i love it. The styling hasn't changed much over the years but i like the the styling on mine. simple and discreet, and i like the longer grill on the limited models. The v6 engine is phenomenal, couldn't believe the acceleration it has. Interior wise, nothing special, back up camera, leather, heated seats, hands-free, JBL sound, prettyyy standard stuff for the high end model cars. Anyway this new one looks ugly.

Electric Motors tend to have more torque, and leave gas engines by the way side... although in these early days of transition from gas to electric... the car industry tend to utilize the smallest electric motors to weight ratio of car...robust electrical motors would outpace the fastest (Formula 1 racer)...... since fuel cars are only 20% efficient while electric motors are 90% efficient in comparison.

@palgumaka Haha yea i just love going around bragging about how awesome my toyota's are haha. I'd be bragging about my 67' Harvester Scout with a 5 inch lift, if anything(like how i threw that in there?) Seriously though, I own both the 2011 rav4 limited v6, and i also own a 2011 Tacoma trd t-rex.  I love toyota's , very dependable, great warranty's, and they have Toyota Care, which is really nice. Not to mention my T-rex can climb over anything, and my rav does 0-60 in under 6 seconds.

@patrickrob

its not ugly n most people buy toyota not because of beauty, only for dependability. And speaking of which you took your five minutes of glory to satisfy your urge to share with the world that YOU bought (if in fact you did) fully loaded version -- you know this is a means of transportation --- NOT a CONDO - although you might be one of the people who live in their cars and spend entire weekend washing, wiping, and watching it --- nuff said

I don't like it as much as last year's model. Why couldn't they at least add some fenders or black designed fenders? It would look better. How about the front end?.. it needs a chrome put into it. Chrome always makes it look nice. As much as I love Toyota, I love SUV toyota but I have a 2012 Tacoma that I love the most. This car is fine looking. Not the best looking though.
