The RAV is allegedly going to get an updated 4c in the Fall... 2.7L? Production begins in Canada. There allegedly is going to be a new 4c Highlander added to the mix.... 2.7L also? Tupelo production begins in the near future. These two will be in addition to the already announced Venza with the 2.7L I4. |

Replying to: mackabee (Apr 05, 2008 7:47 pm) I agree. However, other manufacturers appear to be trying very hard to catch and even beat them. In my opinion Toyota should make the 4cyl Hybrid available in the RAV or the upcoming Venza. There aren't enough 4cyl Hybrids on the market. As far as a replacement. The HL is too big. The RAV does not have it (nor will it be offered in the current model). I'm hoping for the Venza. If not, the Escape Hybrid might be an option (at least I'm familiar with the system). I get the feeling that Toyota is waiting for the Lithium battery issues to be rectified before they make the Hybrid system available on more models.
