Has anyone heard any news on the next RAV4? When will it be released? I'm hoping they will release it early like they did with the last Corola.
#1466 of 2123 Sport Package by i_luv_toyota Jul 12, 2004 (3:05 pm)
I still cannot figure out why Toyota doesn't offer fog lights with the RAV4's Sport Package.   I know basically it's an appearance package, but those 2 black covered holes in the bumper aren't doing much for a "sporty" appearance.   May as well just buy a base model and save a few bucks.
#1467 of 2123 New for 2005? by glory251 Jul 12, 2004 (4:31 pm)
Just thought I'd pass on a commercial I saw for the Rav4 the other night. It was late and I wasn't paying full attention, but what caught my eye is the "New Rav4 with 3rd row seating". Now, I'll remind you it was late, but I "SWEAR" the commercial was for a Rav4. That really through me for a loop so I quick went to the website an the Rav 4 only holds 5 people, so I suppose the ad was talking about the 2005. Now there can't be much room back there, but that's a big change in my book. I don't own one, but I will be in the market for an economical vehicle that can hold a family of 6. I do have a 04 Sienna LE (great van) for the wife and I drive a Jetta TDI (great gas milage). Hope this helps.
#1468 of 2123 Rav4 LX FWD cant find with sideairbags... by diegan Jul 12, 2004 (10:57 pm)
I am in the market for a new small suv. I have test driven 3x both the Rav4 and Honda CRV , auto FWD models. I like that the CRV offers side airbags readily available in my area(southern Calif)but no Antilock brakes. THe Rav4 brochure says side airbags are opt, but 3 dealers said they never have seen 1 with them for 2004. Has anyone had this problem finding this option? Also, does anyone know why the RAV4 which seats 5, only has rear head rests for 2, isn't it the law to have head restraints for the number of occupants. I had decided on the Honda CRV finally on Sunday (didn't buy yet though) when all this fire/oil filter problems with the CRV were discovered. Now I'm undecided again. Any suggestions...

From an Australian magazine. This speaks of an Aug 2005 debut date, which equates to a 2006 model.   http://img40.photobucket.com/albums/v124/mohit/rav4.jpg

Replying to: diegan (Jul 12, 2004 10:57 pm) My wife's 04 Rav has sideairbags. This option was important for us too. They seemed to be quite common here in the NorthEast (Buffalo, NY) when we were shopping around.

Hello fellow "Buffalonian"! (I'm in the Tonawanda/Amherst area) Have you been through any Buffalo winters with your Rav4 and if so, how did you find the handling? I recently bought a 2001 Mazda Protege ES and I will be trading it in in about a year for a small SUV or crossover vehicle so that I can transport my mountain bike and classroom teaching materials more effectively. So far, I am considering the Toyota Matrix, RAV4 and Mazda3 wagon version.   Any insights would be appreciated! Replies to this message: raval (Aug 31, 2004 9:32 am)
#1472 of 2123 Buffalo RAV4's by blackandblue Jul 16, 2004 (8:36 am)
Should we start our own topic/posts? We're from Tonawanda too and my wife got hers in June, from Culligan. My daughter drove it, fell in love, and she gets hers tonight from Northtown. My research told me this would be the best vechile for what they need it for. Getting back and forth to work, driving around town, and maybe some long distance trips for two. We have not experienced any snow driving yet but I can say that I have gotten a very sure footed feel from the ride. So far there is nothing I don't like, but I don't think I'll be getting to drive them very often.

Small world, no? Which dealership did you find to be better? I've heard varied reports about Northtown...but nothing seems consistent! Since I will be purchasing in about a year from now, I am planning to check out Fuccillo's on Grand Island. Supposedly, his new building venture is going to be for Toyotas. Everyone I know who has purchased, or gone for service there, has been VERY impressed! Replies to this message: lbmcc (Jul 20, 2004 5:47 am)
