#1810 of 2123 Does Honda REALLY sell 4X as many CR-Vs? by daryll44 Apr 07, 2005 (6:19 am)
I was close to buying a RAV when I stumbled into the Honda showroom. While the CR-V doesn't look quite as "cool" as the RAV, I must admit the salesman did a good job of convincing me to reconsider. One thing that he said was that CR-V outsold RAV four to one. Is that REALLY true? I need to buy what's right for ME, regardless if four times as many buy something else. Nevertheless, the huge difference DOES make me wonder (if CR-V is the better vehicle).

Well, the stats I found are as follows:   RAV4 March sales: 6,233, YTD: 15,660 CR-V March sales: 13,639 YTD: 34,991   These are from Toyota's North American Sales and American Honda Sales reports for March 2005.   Not quite 4x, more like 2x, but definitely more.   --Dan

Replying to: daryll44 (Apr 07, 2005 6:19 am) The CRV is a good choice, not a better choice. The main reason why the CRV sells more is that it is larger than the RAV. The RAV on the other hand is better handling and has a slightly more functionnal interior. The CRV is also more mainstreem in design. The RAV is on the radical side. One more thing, the CRV's 4WD system is on demand (front wheel drive until slippage is detected). The RAV's 4 wheels are always engaged. You hit right on... buy what's right for you.

Replying to: daryll44 (Apr 07, 2005 6:19 am) IF you need the room, Honda might be better. Or Toyota Highlander (my choice). Got me laughing about the Honda salesman - you should go back just to prove him wrong about the sales figures and make him look like a jackass. Ford sells more Escapes/Tributes/Mariners than CRV or Rav, but that does not mean it is all around better. Depends on your needs or wants. New larger Rav should be out later this year.
#1815 of 2123 Roof Rack and Accessories by nikworth Apr 08, 2005 (12:10 pm)
I am purchasing a used 2003 RAV4. It doesn't have a roof rack at the moment, but I plan on getting one soon. Are there pros/cons to the traditional black or silver (JAC) roof racks sold by Toyota. Is the load capacity on these the same. Do both of these racks use Yakima and/or Thule accessories? Or would I be better off going with a Yakima or Thule rack system? Thanks.
#1816 of 2123 2006 RAV by daryll44 Apr 10, 2005 (4:08 pm)
I'd love to know any available details on the 2006 RAV. What changes will it have? Will a hybrid be available? Replies to this message: toycash (Apr 23, 2005 6:34 am)

Replying to: bolaws (Apr 20, 2005 5:34 pm) If everything was so easy to get to, then why did it take 4 hours?

Replying to: daryll44 (Apr 10, 2005 4:08 pm) The 2006 will be a totally new design and will offer a V6 option.
