Does anybody know when the features of the 2007 RAV4 will be announced??? I've been holding out for bluetooth (and improved cupholders!) but don't know how much longer my '97 Subaru will last (great car - over 200,000 miles, but near the end and Subaru can't figure out that they need to offer electronic stability control on ALL new models).
 
2007 Initial Order Acceptance Month:6-12-06
2007 Initial Production Month: 08-06
2007 Initial Delivery Month: 10-06
All dates subject to change

I'm also holding out for a 2007. I was told the features I want will NEVER be found on a lot in the Midwest, so I would need to special order my Rav. The dealer also said the wait could be 3-4 months.
 
I'm also curious as to what changes will be on the '07's. Don't care too much about blue tooth right now, but I suppose I could use it with my Pocket PC to play MP3's over the stereo ?
 
Any new colors being offered?

Only the Toyota gods no. I spoke with one dealer who said 2007 RAV4 comes out Spring 2007. That could be dealer baloney

Fill up, zero the trip odo, then fill up again and do the math.
 
For one tank, the accuracy will vary, sure. But when you calculate your mileage for many tanks, as orioninil has, the average will be very accurate.
 
Mid 20s, in this case.

I wouldn't count on any changes being made for 07. If you're holding off your purchase for bluetooth and re-designed cupholders, I'd suggest you just go buy one now. Bluetooth is not a given and the cupholders are not a major issue. I put rubber can insulation sleeves (cozzies) in the cupholders and the problem is solved. As an added bonus, it now has an insulated liner.

I think we should define "city" here. When you say city driving, is that suburbs or block to block traffic lights? Does it include crawling traffic? because it makes a difference.
 
Just the other day it took me 30 minutes to do 5 miles.

Thanks for your input. I did quiet a bit of research on online, on reviews on the Rav 4 and most car magazine editors did perfer the v6 for many of the reasons you mention. But it was nice to hear it from someone who is in the real world driving a Rav 4 v6 each day.
 
Once again
 
Thanks

    "Only the Toyota gods no. I spoke with one dealer who said 2007 RAV4 comes out Spring 2007. That could be dealer baloney"
 
That is definitely Baloney! All new orders taken as of June 12th (?) will be a 2007 unless it can be filled with a model already slated for production and isn't committed. Delivery of the 2007's is in October. (2006)
   
 
 I have found that most dealers, especially salespeople, aren't as knowledgeable as I am about their products. Which is why I hate dealing with them. I especially get irritated when I catch them in a blatant lie, or just plain showing their ignorance. I am in sales, and I believe you should know what you are selling.
 
As far as the 2007 Rav 4's, there should be some information out already with updates and changes, because all orders placed with Toyota today, even for stock, will be for 2007 models. All 2006 production is booked. It's just a matter of time before we see it. I'm just kinda hoping sooner than later.
I'm hoping for a new color.
