#31 of 4666 2006 Rav V6 by normalc Apr 08, 2005 (12:55 pm)
I think Toyota may use the new small V6 that has been just introduced for the 2006 Lexus IS. This would be a great engine for the new Rav.

the RAV is by default FWD and the IS is not?
#33 of 4666 Third-row cramming and gas prices by a_l_hubcaps Apr 09, 2005 (11:18 pm)
I wonder if the trend towards cramming third rows into smaller vehicles is partially driven by the expectation of high gas prices? In Europe and Asia, where gas is really expensive, they have smallish vans and SUVs with like 8 or 9 little seats packed in. Basically you buy one of those instead of, say, a GMC Yukon XL, which would seem outlandishly huge in those countries.   I can't think of any other reason why a third-row seat in a vehicle as small as a RAV4 would be appealing. I mean, the 7-pass Highlander is not a huge vehicle, and you can pick up a basic 4-cyl for around $25K or less.   -Andrew L

know that if they cram a third row into RAV, it will give them all the excuse they need to jack the price up substantially. Replies to this message: glavinsolo (Apr 12, 2005 9:32 pm)
#35 of 4666 RAV4 Pics by glavinsolo Apr 12, 2005 (9:32 pm)
Replying to: nippononly (Apr 10, 2005 9:07 pm) Anyone have any legitimate pictures? I saw some on Autoweek but they turned out to be a photoshop of some european Chevrolet suv called S3x made by Daewoo. From what I know it will be able to be ordered in July 05 and be able to take delivery in August 05. RAV4 name will stay as some people have mentioned in other sites and from toyota.   We might see a RAV6, though maybe?   I just got back test driving a 2005... and couldn't be more uncomfortable sitting in the back seat. Anyone who has decent size legs couldn't sit there for more than 20mins I would think. So for them to lengthen it out and put a 3rd row is quite scary considering the 2nd row could use about 3inches of more legroom
#36 of 4666 I think by nippononly Apr 13, 2005 (7:11 am)
the '4' in RAV's name was originally for 4WD. So unless it has 6WD after Aug 05, it probably won't change to the RAV6.

Replying to: toyotaman71 (Apr 19, 2005 2:43 pm) No, I dont think it is. That would make just about no sense at all.   ~alpha Replies to this message: 03lxv6 (Sep 01, 2005 12:19 pm) rbleland (Sep 01, 2005 12:36 pm)

How about a Navigation System, real rear bumper, spare off of the rear door, and a liftgate instead of the current awkward side swing gate. (The CR-V has this too- I hate it- you can't get stuff in or out of the car if you're parked in a parallel spot)   I'm still wondering if Lexus would get one.. Although I highly doubt it.. It'd be interesting to see Lexus get a version of the next RAV4. Replies to this message: alpha01 (Apr 19, 2005 8:54 pm)
